Summary
The essence of the content revolves around the importance of using active, powerful language, particularly verbs, in constructing effective sentences for the GMAT exam.
- Active language is preferred in the business world, including advertising, for its directness and persuasive power.
- Verbs are identified as the action words of language, making sentences more direct and powerful.
- When given a choice between noun, verb, and adjective forms of a word, the verb form often creates a more concise and impactful sentence.
- Choosing the verb form over noun or adjective forms can make sentences shorter and more forceful, which is advantageous in sentence correction.
- This approach is not an automatic rule but a pattern to recognize for enhancing sentence analysis and correction.
