Explanation for Question 29 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8
So question 29 is asking us to combine together these two sentences, 2 right? And here we're talking about what they argue. 3 So we want to combine saying that they're arguing something with the sentence that 4 actually describes what they argue. Now, 5 if we put an, a, a uses such that, 6 right. They argue the opposite, such that blank. 7 And now when you use the phrase such such that it indicates that you're 8 about to talk about an example, 9 right? An example of something, and here, 10 we're not talking about an example. We're just simply stating what their argument is. 11 And so that's why a is incorrect because of the use of the phrase, 12 such that now here, 13 we've got the dash, we've got comma, which is, 14 and we've got their opinion is all three of these are grammatically correct. 15 Right. But the issue is which one says 16 it in the fewest words possible, right? Which one is the most concise and 17 straight to the point. And the answer to that is going to be B 18 because when we put the dash, the dash shows that we're about to explain 19 something. Right. And so that's perfect. 20 That's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to explain how they argue. 21 And it does it without using the extra words like, 22 which is, and their opinion is. 23 And so in that case, our best answer is going to be B.
