[Video] Q22: No change or envelope that had been dangling from the doorway. or envelope that had the money in it. or envelope.

Explanation for Question 22 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8

So our question or our sentence for 22 says it, 2 then choose up the bills and spits out the money filled envelope instead of 3 chewing it up. And so our question here is 4 what are we going to do with this part of the sentence? Right? 5 And so what we, what we see here is that we spit out the 6 envelope instead of chewing it up. 7 So we know that if we spit out the envelope, 8 right, that means we didn't chew it up because we can't do both. 9 We can only do one or the other. So a is repetitive because if 10 we say that we spit it out, that we don't need to say that 11 we chew it up, that we didn't chew it up. That's implied right now 12 B says that we spit out the envelope that had been dangling from the 13 doorway. Right? And so we can ask ourselves, 14 is this repetitive or is that new information? 15 Is this whole dangling from the doorway part new? 16 And so the answer is no it's repetitive, 17 right? Because if we look early in our sentence earlier in our paragraph, 18 actually it says approaching the doorway in which dangles a red envelope. 19 So we already said that the red envelope angles in the doorway, 20 we don't need to say it again. Now see says the envelope that had 21 money in it, just like a and B, 22 C is repetitive. We already knew that the envelope had money in it, 23 right? Because it tells us earlier that the envelope is filled with green paper 24 money. And so the key is here. 25 We don't want to be repetitive. We don't want to keep saying the same 26 information. And the only one that does that is D right, 27 which tells us that we just spit out the money filled envelope. 28 So there's no repetition. Like there is an, a, B and C. 29 So our best answer is going to be D.
