Thank you We sneak No And here's your smoke to

00:07

use your brought to you by fleeing elephants Put a

00:10

hurt on a giant hamster wheel and you could power

00:13

the state of new york way Check the following passage

00:18

American animals You're a donkey democrat gates Big all right

00:29

what is the most effective way of stating the action

00:32

in sentence Eight and here the pendulum wait can't get

00:40

started on this one until we review sentencing so we've

00:43

got a scary donkey freaking out zoo animals and the

00:46

whole scene represents democrats beating back the competition Got it

00:50

Now we have to do is take a peek at

00:52

the other options to see if they do a better

00:53

job of getting this basic idea across option b cuts

00:58

out too much information It was some random cartoon about

01:01

a sadistic donkey frightening the other animals It was a

01:04

political cartoon that was commenting on current events oi say

01:08

leaves out the political cartoon part two and it makes

01:10

the problem even worse by being way too wordy First

01:14

part of the sentence give lots of unnecessary details about

01:16

the way the artist went about making the cartoon like

01:19

you really care saying that an artist used his artistic

01:22

talents is redundant repetitive saying the same thing again and

01:25

again and again again and we already know that political

01:28

cartoons consist of drawings in panels that's it this option

01:32

goes out of its way to tell Us a whole

01:33

lot of nothing Kind of like your old uncle who

01:36

dominates thanksgiving with rambling stories that go nowhere and we've

01:39

been there from up do that all day long Answer

01:42

C gets the political cartoon part right but then forgets

01:45

to mention that the donkey is scaring the other animal

01:48

So thanks see for leaving out the best part We're

01:51

looking for the answer that describes the action and there's

01:53

no action here it all nobody's interested in a donkey

01:56

sitting around doing nothing well looks like the best answer

01:59

is e which tells us that the sentence is fine

02:02

as it is this question took us in a big

02:05

fat circle and dropped us off where we started It's

02:08

like there's no place like home right dorothy Even when

02:11

it's filled with scary donkeys they have a queen wine 00:02:16.533 --> [endTime] god
