Shifts in what? Shifts in the quality of violence in television. So, what about this evidence? The sentence says that this evidence is cropping up from a new study of 500 TV programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the sentence mentions the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) and describes it as a nonprofit research center located in Washington D.C. The sentence shifts gear here and starts talking about this study of 500 TV programs. It says that many educational institutions support this study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frankly, there is nothing majorly wrong with this sentence. But I must admit that the gear shirt I mentioned just above jolts me slightly. My smooth ride through this dense sentence is disturbed a bit here. To be honest, I also felt a slight jolt when I read \u201c<em>TV<\/em> <em>programs by the CPMA<\/em>.\u201d My logical mind is convinced that a research center generally does not produce TV programs. But the structure here just acts as speedbump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, can I prevent these jolts? Most certainly. All I need to do is rearrange the sentence so that the description of this study appears next to it. Then, there will be no shifting needed and hence, no jolt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/evidence-of-some-shifts-gmat-official-guide-sc-question.png\" alt=\"GMAT OG solution - Evidence of some shifts in the character of violence on television...\" class=\"wp-image-35518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/evidence-of-some-shifts-gmat-official-guide-sc-question.png 1200w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/evidence-of-some-shifts-gmat-official-guide-sc-question-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/evidence-of-some-shifts-gmat-official-guide-sc-question-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/evidence-of-some-shifts-gmat-official-guide-sc-question-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the speedbump can be smoothened out by the same process.

No jolts, no bumps. Just a smooth ride through the medley of modifiers. Very deftly, this choice combines the two descriptions for the study, places them together, and seamlessly conveys everything it needs to say. Every modifier correctly connects with its partner to present the logical meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wonderful disconnect between the \u201c<em>TV programs<\/em>\u201d and <em>the CPMA<\/em> makes this choice a joy ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-5-choose-not-challenge-choice-c\">5.

This choice has these high-voltage jolts. The arrangement of the modifiers present a weird meaning. Can you see them? This choice seems to suggest that TV programs are underwtitten by many education institutions. Then, it seems to say that these programs are conducted by the CMPA. These jolts really hurt my head (and my accuracy level too). Dump it and jump to D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/choice-c-gmat-og-question-evidence-of-some-shifts-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Choice C analysis - Evidence of some shifts in the character of violence on television...  \" class=\"wp-image-35520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/choice-c-gmat-og-question-evidence-of-some-shifts-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/choice-c-gmat-og-question-evidence-of-some-shifts-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/choice-c-gmat-og-question-evidence-of-some-shifts-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/choice-c-gmat-og-question-evidence-of-some-shifts.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5-6-a-quick-look-at-all-of-them\">6.
