Explanation for Question 4 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Now a number four were asked, which best connects the sentence with the previous 2 paragraph. So we need to think about what is happening in this previous paragraph, 3 right? Let's go ahead.

Um, 17 if we look at B, it talks about all three sections of the mural. 18 Now we see that the center piece comes up and we also see that 19 there are two other sections, but that's not as important is the fact that, 20 um, you know, 21 he did the last part at night.
