Explanation for Question 37 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Now here for question number 37, we're considering adding the sentence that says successful 2 communication is essential. If designer's idea becomes a reality and 3 we're trying to figure out, should we make this addition, 4 right? And if we read our sentences, it talks about conceptualizing the game, 5 um, is only the beginning, right? 6 And then we go on to say, um, it has to be communicated effectively 7 to all other members in the team. And so essentially 8 what this is saying, you know, everything right here and everything that's in this 9 potential, additional sentence are saying the exact same thing. 10 So to put that sentence, there would seem kind of repetitive because we already 11 said it's that we need to con uh, 12 communicate it effectively. And then this says the same thing over again. 13 Um, and so that idea of repetition is best expressed here and answer choice 14 D where we reformulate, 15 or basically resay reword the thought from the proceeding 16 sentence, which is right here. 17 Right. And we can also do process of elimination here. 18 If we look at a, um, supporting the conclusion in the following sentence, 19 um, we talk about explaining ideas clearly. 20 That's true. It does support, uh, 21 the conclusion from the following sentence. 22 However, this does not acknowledge the fact that it's repetitive and the sat hates 23 repetition. If we look at B that's true as well, 24 it does discuss the general principle, but again, 25 just like a B ignores the fact that it's repetitive. 26 And that's really important to pick up on for this question. 27 Um, and finally, C C it's just, I'm wrong in what it's saying and 28 the content of the answer choice, because it's not distracting from the focus because 29 the focus is communication. It's on topic. 30 It's just repetitive and that's best said in answer choice D.
