twin madison secretly thought she would be better off as
- 00:23
a science teacher and hear the potential answers Well cassidy
- 00:29

- 00:32
but her sister madison thinks she should be making a
- 00:35
science teacher kind of money G thanks a lot So
- 00:38
what word should we squeeze in between these two thoughts
- 00:41
to create a contrast Well remember when we show a
- 00:44
contrast were shown how to things are different or at
- 00:47
odds with one another Like you might say that the
- 00:50
water in a hot tub is hot You could contrast
- 00:54
that with the water in an ice bath which would
- 00:57
be considerably colder We'll take the hot tub for us
- 01:01
Thank you very much All right onto our answer joyce
- 01:03
is would it make sense to fit the word And
- 01:06
in here now and it's Just a word we use
- 01:09
To show that to separate things air both true there
- 01:12
are breakable things in the lab and dogs aren't allowed
- 01:16

- 01:28
thing leads to another One of the dogs broke a
- 01:31
flask so his owner had to pay for it both
- 01:34
at him still go together so we're looking for a
- 01:36
contrast option D four well in this instance four would
- 01:41
mean the same thing as because like we might say
- 01:45
the man decided he would never bring his dog back
- 01:47
to the lab for he couldn't afford to pay for
- 01:50
any more broken equipment Wait one more shot at distinct
- 01:54
fortunately the word but will definitely fit here but is
- 01:58
a big contrast word because it shows that two things
- 02:02
are not in agreement In our example Cassidy things one
- 02:05
thing but her sister thinks something else So option a
- 02:09
czar answer We've learned a lot from this video but
- 02:12
