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

00:05

by donkeys Some call them stubborn But we respect them

00:09

for sticking to their views All right Checking the following

00:12

passage All right Which of the substitution Sze would improve

00:26

the underlined portion of sentence for and here the potential

00:31

answers All right Well the first step here is take

00:39

another look at the sentence in question In the eighteen

00:42

twenty eight election the republican candidate tried to smear his

00:45

opponent and referred to him insultingly as a donkey though

00:49

he used a different word Well yeah this looks a

00:52

little wordy it's clear that we can cut choice d

00:55

which suggests that we leave everything as is because all

00:58

is not well in denmark Here answer b tells us

01:01

to snip the parenthetical entirely and it also takes out

01:05

the part about the donkey reference being insulting Well if

01:08

we did this the readers would miss the point that

01:10

the republicans used um or offensive version of the word

01:13

donkey Joyce a misses the point in the same way

01:16

as be parenthetical and a bit about the slur being

01:19

insulting or both cut Also comparing a person to a

01:22

thing isn't quite the same as referring to that person

01:25

as being the thing moving on our best choices See

01:29

putting donkey in quotation marks implies that the republican candidate

01:32

used the other word for donkey which we all know

01:36

is a bit more insulting Incidentally the american donkey lee

01:39

has recently started a campaign against anyone using the lightness

01:42

of a burrow in a derogatory manner This sort of 00:01:45.538 --> [endTime] insulting exploitation just has to stop
