Explanation for Question 13 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Now looking at number 13, uh, 2 which is this question right here. 3 Recently, we see that the sentence says in the name of health spending $1.60 4 every day, they would have spent on food that is grown in a manner 5 that is considered conventional, right? 6 So we see that we're referring to a day here. 7 Someone is spending $1.60, 8 but when we just start this part of our sentence with spending, 9 it makes it really difficult to know who they are. 10 We have to tell them, or they have to tell us who they are. 11 So age doesn't tell us any type of people seeing D doesn't tell us 12 any type of person. The only one that tells us who they are is 13 be the consumers. So if we read the sentence with B, 14 it says in the name of health, these consumers spend $1.60 15 for every dollar they would have spent on conventional food. 16 And so by starting it with these consumers, 17 we now know who they are, and that makes the sentence very clear. 18 So our best answer is B.
