ACT Question of the Day - Writing

Now that the SAT and ACT are going to resemble each other more (no more memorizing SAT vocabulary), studying for one test is more like studying for both. You might see similar writing questions on the ACT and the SAT. Let's take a look at one:

In 1926, RCA paid the American Telephone & Telegraph Company one million dollars for station WEAF in New York City—and NBC was

born. Years later, the Radio Law of 1927 was

enacted. It authorized it's control for licensing and of policing the broadcasters.

Choose the best alternative for the underlined part 9.

A. NO CHANGE
B. A year later,
C. Factually,
D. In conclusion,

The underlined part nine needs to be changed, so we can rule out A. The previous sentence refers to the year 1926, and the next sentence mentions 1927, so the most logical choice would be B. Sometimes these writing questions can refer to tone. Make sure that the tone stays consistent throughout the piece. Here, however, it simply has to do with chronology and logic.
