[Video] Q34: No change or however, or accordingly, or subsequently,

Explanation for Question 34 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8

So 34 is another transition word question. 2 So let's look at the sentence before the transition word. 3 It says the shape that fire assumes on earth as a result of gravitational 4 influence in the movement of molecules in the micro gravity of space. 5 So actually we don't even need that beginning part. We just need in the 6 microgravity of space, blank combustion, 7 and the resulting fire behave in fundamentally different ways than they do on earth. 8 So what we're doing here is we're taking one setting one context, 9 and that's the microgravity of space or comparing it to a different context, 10 which is earth. And we're saying that they're fundamentally different, 11 right? So we're contrasting these two places where fire behaves and 12 if they're fundamentally different, and there's a contrast our mind should immediately go to, 13 however, because however is the only one of these words that shows a contrast. 14 If we look at more, over, more over, 15 it's kind of like a therefor, 16 right. Or an additionally it's more so like an additionally and 17 additionally doesn't show contrast. 18 So that's why a is wrong. Subsequently shows an order 19 of things. You're kind of talking about a chronological order when you think about 20 subsequently. And so we're not saying that fire accent, 21 the mic grab new space, and then it goes to earth, 22 right? We're not talking about an order of things and then accordingly, 23 um, it's kind of just saying similarly, 24 right. But accordingly is a lacking the contrast. 25 That's the important part. We need to show that there's a conflict between the 26 two parts of our sentences because they are fundamentally different. 27 And the only one that does that is however, so be.
