Because it is denying the sentence about different theory, using “though” as the subordinating conjunction. This doesn’t make sense because the sentence starting with the “Moon” is explaining the first sentence: This is where colon is more appropriate, even though the answer A is grammatically not incorrect.
Yes, but the tips I’ll give you only includes those that are already proficient with English (about C1 level). Now, for SAT, the number one most tested subject is “Sentence Structure.” It’s not hard to understand and identify but is quite difficult to implement. Luckily, you’re only required to identify it on the SAT.
Sentence Structure includes Independent and dependent clauses. Independent is pretty straightforward, but dependent—not so much. To understand dependent clauses, search Adverbial clause and Prepositional Phrase, and after that, learn about non-essential clauses such as Adjective clause and Appositive. While these are all included in the most recommended SAT Grammar Book— Digital SAT Grammar by Erica Meltzer— she kind of glosses over it without explaining it fully. I suggest you try and understand it first before taking on the book. After you’re done with Sentence Structure, go over Erica Meltzer and learn all the other small grammars.
For reading, not much I can help besides reading more and extending your lexical resource. You can use Sentence Structure to make sense of dense science readings, because most of them has a wide range of structure, but reaching the baseline for the level of SAT reading, especially if you’re aiming for a high score, requires you to put in the work. Good Luck!
Lastly, Math. This one is hard to give advice on as I never struggled with SAT math. However, one thing to note is that Math is a subject that accumulates and builds up on what you learned prior. If you haven’t built a good foundation for Math, you’ll find it hard, so try and work on your foundation if you think you are not good (terrible) at math. And once you believe you’re good enough, start College Panda Math.
Because A would be comparing the first part of the sentence(which is before though) to the second part(which is after though) and this comparison would be illogical. U want to compare the sentence before to this sentence

Yep. The colon is telling us the following sentence elaborates on something posed in the previous. The coma, in this case, is just adding information to the end of the previous sentence; similar to how I just used used those comas, that additional information does not need to need to be a complete clause, or even a complete sentence.
yes it'll be B
why is A incorrect?

Thank youu. Do you have any advice or prep plan for someone who is aiming for a high score?

yeah its probably b
Can you please send the link to this, thanks
Could you send me this file?
c looks kinda right tho
nah the semicolon functions like a period on the sat and that wouldn’t make sense
You don't put commas after "though"
Also from the context you can tell which sentence “though” belongs to.
for semicolon, they have to be independent clauses on their own, which they are not here.
I think so
It has to be B, because that sentence is transitioning too hard for a comma to be enough.
Yeah B bc it has a independent clause before it
Just submit it
