[Video] Q38: No change or intended for this use or constructed for this function or delete the underlined portion.

Explanation for Question 38 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8

So question 38 reads specifically designed drop towers built for this purpose, 2 reduce these problems, but they provide no more than 10 seconds of microgravity. 3 And a droplet size is still too small to produce accurate models of combustion 4 rates. If we look at our answer choices for 38, 5 we can see that it says intended for this use constructed for this function 6 or delete. And so if we look closely, 7 we see it says, specially designed drop towers built for this purpose, 8 reduce these problems. And if we see that they reduce these problems, 9 then we know what they are built for. Right. 10 They're built for the problems of uneven heat flow and limited size, 11 right? So if we say built for this purpose, 12 that's very repetitive because they already told us the purpose, 13 right? So a is repetitive wrong question. 14 A is repetitive here now intended for this use, 15 doesn't fix anything it's telling us that it's intended for this use. 16 And then it goes on to tell us what the actual use is. 17 So saying what's in B is again, still repetitive. 18 And this is the same thing for C, right? A, B and C. 19 You're just saying all the same thing. They're all repeating information. 20 And so our best choice is going to be deep to delete the underlined 21 portion because, because then it will simply read, 22 especially design drop towers, reduce these problems. 23 And without explicitly saying it, we know that that's their purpose to reduce the 24 problems.
