Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by zip guns a tool for really lazy people who

00:08

can't be bothered to fasten their pants I check out

00:12

the passage right here as white phone outside yemen flooring

00:15

the handheld and bring it on the way All right

00:21

which choice most effectively combined the two sentences at the

00:24

underlined portion And here the potential answers All right lot

00:28

of moods Okay so we've got this white fella firing

00:33

oxygen out of a device that moves him around while

00:36

in space so he's basically like wally with that fire

00:39

extinguisher pixar didn't have a patent on that move or

00:42

a white might be hearing from the lawyers Alright so

00:45

the most important words in this question our most effectively

00:49

In other words more than one answer choice might make

00:52

sense or be technically correct but we're looking for the

00:54

one that gets across all necessary information while not being

00:58

too verbose or word or long winded or loquacious or

01:00

redundant saying the same thing over and over and over

01:03

again like that sense often a suffers from the redundancy

01:07

issue A moos were also onboard gem and i ate

01:11

ten and eleven but only the crew of gem and

01:13

i ten actually used the device They were not used

01:16

on gemini eight or eleven Well yet if h h

01:19

m youse were on all three ships but they were

01:21

only used on gemenon ten then we really don't need

01:24

to write or to tell us they weren't used on

01:26

the other two We're smart little boys and girls we

01:29

can put you into together here though There's probably a

01:31

better choice in the mix How about option c h

01:34

h m youse were also onboard Jim and i ate

01:36

ten eleven and on ly the crew of jim and

01:39

i ten actually used the device this one's short into

01:42

the point but and isn't really the best transition here

01:44

between the two points Writers trying to express a conflict

01:47

between the ideas that there were hh mm used on

01:50

all three shifts but they were only used on one

01:53

of them but seems like a much more fitting conjunction

01:57

to use in this instance we should maybe keep that

02:00

in mind Let's take a look at d h h

02:02

m youse were also onboard gemini eight ten and eleven

02:06

But on ly the crew of gemini ten actually used

02:10

the device and not the other two crews Hey check

02:13

out these but now now don't do that This one

02:16

is using a more appropriate transition between the phrases but

02:19

it has the same problems Option a and then it

02:21

doesn't really have to reiterate that the other two crews

02:24

were keeping their zip gunnery to a minimum Maybe they

02:27

had other ways to get around which means the correct

02:30

answer is b h h m Youse were also onboard

02:33

Gemini eight ten and eleven But only the crew of

02:35

gemma night ten actually used the device that uses a

02:38

conjunction that indicates a conflict between two ideas and doesn't

02:42

repeat itself like our grandmother when she starts talking about 00:02:45.723 --> [endTime] all the suitors she had when she was younger
