Flashcards: Redundancy

After Gaudi’s death, work stalled between 1936 and 1940 when Civil War broke out in Spain and again as World War II began, leaving the project years behind schedule. During the wars, Catalan anarchists destroyed part of the basilica and the models and designs Gaudi left for the builders, 1 who disagreed with the direction the building should take. It took years for the project to get back on track; once it was, it was impossible to know whether additional construction would match Gaudi’s vision.

although later some of the original work would be rediscovered.

who were forced to reconstruct what plans they could, an arduous and time-consuming process.

who were still years behind schedule in finishing the basilica.

Your answer:

although later some of the original work would be rediscovered.

Your answer:

who were still years behind schedule in finishing the basilica.

Your answer:

NO CHANGE

Correct answer:

who were forced to reconstruct what plans they could, an arduous and time-consuming process.

Explanation:

Whenever the SAT presents you with answer choices that are all grammatically correct but that have different meanings, they are looking for you to pick the answer that logically completes the sentence but that is not redundant. You are told that the builders were years behind schedule, meaning that it is unnecessary to repeat this information in the following sentence, allowing you to eliminate "who were still years behind schedule in finishing the basilica." Choice "although later some of the original work would be rediscovered." doesn't fit with the information given in the following sentence. If some of the original work could be rediscovered, that doesn't have any effect on how long the project took to get back on track. Similarly, NO CHANGE doesn't explain why it took years for the project to get back on track. Only "who were forced to reconstruct what plans they could, an arduous and time-consuming process." explains this delay. The builders had to reconstruct the plan, which cost them time, logically linking one sentence to another.

The Sagrada Familia, one of the most iconic structures in Barcelona, remains unfinished, a constant work-in-progress in the Barcelona skyline. Despite these setbacks, it is open to the public for both religious services and tourism, attracting over three million visitors a year. In fact, tourist entrance fees now pay for annual construction costs 1 each year now that it is open to the public.

Your answer:

NO CHANGE

Your answer:

because it is now open to the public

Your answer:

each year, now that it is open to the public

Correct answer:

DELETE the underlined portion

Explanation:

Whenever you have the option to delete the underlined portion, the first thing you should look for is redundancy. Does the underlined portion give information that is also given elsewhere in the sentence or that is given nearby? The previous sentence gives the information that the Sagrada Familia is open to the public. All of the choices repeat this information and can be eliminated, leaving you with "DELETE the underlined portion".
