Explanation for Question 11 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 3

Now for number 11, we're looking at our sentence that says the glass walls 2 and dividers can also be used to replace solid walls as a means through 3 or not distributing natural light, more freely. 4 And so what we really need to see here is that there's a common 5 English phrase here as a means blank. 6 And these types of questions are a little bit difficult to explain simply because 7 there's not, you know, a comma role or a simple grammatical rule that we 8 can refer you to. But rather we just have to say that this is 9 a common English phrase, a common phrase. 10 And when we say as a means, you would all always follow as a 11 means with, of as a means of distributing. 12 Right? And so, because that's a common phrase to say means of that means 13 that our best answer's going to be a B all the other answer choices 14 you wouldn't hear in English because the correct preposition, 15 um, and just the common phrase or idiom, 16 if you want to call it, that is, um, of, 17 so our best answer is B.
