[Video] Q36: Which choice provides the most precise description of the phenomenon depicted in the previous sentence?

Explanation for Question 36 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8

So question 36 is asking us, which choice provides the most precise description 2 of the phenomenon described at the previous site, 3 a sentence. So we want a precise description and other words we want 4 the most detail we want the most detail. 5 Now, if we look at the word death formation in a defamation shows that 6 we've had a negative change, right? We know it's a negative word and something 7 has changed. Now, 8 if we look at a or B, B says alteration, 9 if we compare alteration to defamation, 10 we know that they both show a change, right? Cause to alter something needs 11 to change it. But for B that change could be positive or negative. 12 So a is showing more detail, right? 13 Cause we know that it's actually negative, whereas that's kind of ambiguous and B, 14 so a shows more detail than B. Um, 15 similar to B, see transformation shows that there's a change. 16 But again, we don't know whether it's positive or negative D also does 17 the same thing. Right? You can modify something and that can be a good 18 or a bad thing. And so the answer choice with the most detail, 19 the most preciseness or precision is going to be defamation because it shows us 20 the change. It also tells us that that change is explicitly negative. 21 So our correct answer is going to be a.
