[Video] Q41: No change or start to begin their work or initiate their progression or begin their careers

Explanation for Question 41 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4

Now for number 41, as we look at our answer choices is we read 2 a, as it is and there change, we should see it says initially begin 3 their pursuits. And the first thing I want you to see here is that 4 initial means, right? The start of something, 5 and begin also means the start of something. 6 So A's a little bit repetitive because we have two words that both mean 7 kind of the same thing, right? And so that really shows us that this 8 type of question is going to be trying to say things in the most 9 straightforward and least repetitive way possible. 10 So the first thing that we can do at least is eliminate any repetitive 11 answers. Right? And so again, 12 be just like a, has two words. That kind of mean the same thing, 13 start and begin. So B's repetitive, 14 we eliminate it. Um, C says initiate their progression progression 15 and initiate don't necessarily mean the same thing. 16 Um, so we'll keep that one in mind here and then begin and careers. 17 Right? So there that's good, right? 18 There's no repetition there. So now the signing between C and D, 19 what we need to understand is that even though initiate and progression don't mean 20 exactly the same thing. Um, 21 we have to ask ourselves, what are they, 22 is it a progression as programmers or a career as programmers and a career 23 is just a better description of the field of being a programmer. 24 Right? But also if there's a progression, 25 we know it means like to start somewhere and then go forward, 26 which kind of implies a beginning. 27 So it's just a little bit repetitive too, because we know that if there's 28 a progression, something had to initiate it. 29 So there's not necessarily a reason to say initiate and progression as well, 30 but overall see a slightly repetitive programmers aren't progressions, 31 right? That's a career. And so that makes D our best answer.
