Hello, Mr. Bae! Thank you for the advice on my SAT journey. I'll keep going though there is yet no vaccine in the country I live in :(
I am struggling with Diction questions.
I get along with the Tone types well, however, the precision types become tricky sometimes. I trying to get used to the precision type, by learning to balance my English senses and the logical judgments based on the tips you taught me.
There are couple questions I want to ask you, but I will try to figure those out later after answering more diction questions through SAT practice. But I still want to know more detailed version of how 'you' approach these questions.
For instance, On the 2nd Precision question on this lecture, the context clue was gulp and 'nearly anything to drink for entire day'. I thought 'breathlessly drink' could make sense too. If you drink without breathing, doesn't it mean that you are eagerly drinking? Or maybe this is my own interpretation.
Also, On the Diction question lecture, question 11, I was confused between A and C. While my language senses told me that "strong" is the answer, my logical sense told me "impactful" is correct. The spice could have have a big influence on the taste right? That is how I thought. But I knew usually, taste is used with adjective strong if used in this sense. Is it again my own interpretation?
If my problem is about my own interpretation, I overcame it on the reading section.
Can you give me additional tips/explanations for getting over these confusion?
