[Video] Q33: No change or give some wisdom or proclaim our opinions or opine

Explanation for Question 33 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 1

So for question 33, we need to use some context clues to decide what 2 is going to be the best word choice here. And if we look at 3 the sentence, it says, even those of us who work in disparate fields are 4 able to come or able to share advice and help each other brainstorm. 5 And now, if we look here, we have this phrase help each other brainstorm. 6 And one of the key words here is going to be help, right? 7 They're trying to help each other.

We only give advice to help people. 23 And so for that reason is going to be our best answer, 24 because advice is just more help than wisdom is 25 help. Also the use of the word, 26 sharing, sharing, kind of shows that people are working together. 27 They're helping each other and giving it makes it sound very one way, 28 right? There's not very much collaboration there. And so there's a couple of ways 29 you could think about those, I suppose, but either way, 30 our best answer is going to be a.
