The UCSD group sought to overcome these difficulties by participating in NASA’s Microgravity University program.
The engineering group realized that aircraft might be the tools they were looking for.
Thus, for the UCSD group, drop towers were not an adequate solution.
Explanation for Question 39 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8
Now question 39 is asking us for the most effective transition between the ideas 2 in this paragraph. So let's zoom in a little bit and see what these 3 ideas are. Our sentence before 39 talks 4 about the defamation of subtle variations in density. 5 And then we talk us about a specially designed drop tower that is meant 6 to reduce those problems. And then it tells us that the droplet 7 size is still too small to produce accurate models of combustion rates. 8 So here we're talking about some issues that we're having, 9 right? Because we have issues with an uneven heat flow limits in size 10 of droplets. And even when we have the drop tower, 11 there are still issues with the size of the droplets. 12 And then afterwards, we talked about as part of this program, 13 right? So whatever we say in 39 needs to describe a program. 14 And then it says, researchers fly their experiments aboard aircraft to simulate microgravity environments. 15 This accomp, they accomplish this feat by flying in parabolic paths. 16 So we're talking about something about aircraft. We're talking about a program. 17 And if we read the current sentence that we have for 39, 18 it says the USD students understood these limitations that had to be surmounted. 19 So that's true. They probably do understand that, but it doesn't make reference to 20 the program, right? We need to be introduced to that program, 21 maybe given a name or something. And so a is not detailed enough about 22 the program. Now B says the...
