effective revision for the underlined part of sentence Eight and
- 00:32
hear the potential answers that land back All right let's
- 00:37
start by revisiting sentenced Ate this one way Can't get
- 00:40
too friendly on our visit though none of the options
- 00:42
allow us to leave The senses is so its days
- 00:45
are numbered Sorry Sentence eight The good editors shows no
- 00:48
mercy Okay now let's take another look at the options
- 00:51
They're all kind of similar aren't they Yeah It's like
- 00:54
that nightmare we have with the hall full of doors
- 00:56
and we don't know which doors right Fortunately there are
- 00:58
a couple of clues here For starters we can cut
- 01:00
choices a nd right off the bat because the word
- 01:03

- 01:41

- 01:45
we'd better stick with that theme as best we can
- 01:48
Also tranquil sounds fancier than at ease like a military
- 01:52
five so it jibes with the passengers highfalutin tone If
- 01:56
this passage were a restaurant well we couldn't order chicken 00:01:58.878 --> [endTime] fingers and we definitely need a tie
