[Video] Q32: No change or also between the or and when there are or and the

Explanation for Question 32 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8

So now looking at question 32, let's scroll up to the start of the 2 sentence. It says a court reporter, 3 however, can distinguish between the words and distinguish between the extrinsic 4 noises that need not be recorded. What we can notice, 5 what they're trying to say, right? Is that a in-person recorder can distinguish 6 between words and noises. But what they've said here is they've used the word 7 distinguish twice, and there's no need to do that right here. 8 And Abby said distinguished twice. So it's too wordy. 9 It's too repetitive. B is also a little bit 10 too wordy, right? If you say, and also between the, 11 you could say, and the, and get the same answer, 12 right? You're saying the same thing. Just the more words and B C also 13 like B says the same thing as D, 14 but it's more wordy. It's more repetitive. 15 And we always want to be as concise and straightforward as possible. 16 Now the most concise answer is going to be D and that would read 17 and can distinguish between the words and the extrinsic noises, 18 which takes out all the extra words. It makes the sentence very straightforward.
