[Video] Q38: Which choice results in a sentence that best supports the point developed in this paragraph?

Explanation for Question 38 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4

Not for question number 38, we're trying to best support the point developed 2 in this paragraph. And so we need to know the main topic of the 3 paragraph, right? And if we look earlier up near the topic sentence, 4 we see that what we're really talking about here is the importance of communication, 5 right? We see it needs to be communicated effectively. 6 Um, and then they go on to talk about collaboration between the teams. 7 So this is about collaborating and communicating with your teammates. 8 And when they say explain his or her ideas clearly, 9 right. To explain something means to talk about it or to communicate it, 10 communicating ideas. And so that means the a is really on topic here. 11 Now, B communicating doesn't have much to do with imagination, 12 right. And we don't see imagination anywhere else in this paragraph. 13 And it also doesn't have to do anything about assessing your motivations. 14 Right? Motivation doesn't come up much in this paragraph nor does assessments. 15 And then finally, D uh, criticism is probably part of communicating, 16 right? You can say, or explain criticism, 17 but do you simply too specific because we don't know that the criticism that 18 we're talking or the, um, the communication that we're doing here is 19 about criticism, right? It's mostly about communicating your 20 ideas, um, explaining how, 21 how good a concept is. And so that's best on par with answer choice 22 a.
