Here is the notes that I got from Thursday's with Ron session on March, 26 2015 The use of AND

See the video from  01:05:00  to  01:15:00  below
 https://vimeo.com/128740745

Analysis:
- Option (A), (B) has redundant statements "for people who speak Spanish"
- In (A) and (B) usage of "AND" is wrong.. 
 DAV has written a book, AND so people who speak Spanish do not have to rely on the translation from English - Wrong meaning
- Option (B) usage of "...and then".. give cause and effect relation - WRONG 
- Option (C) - "People speaking Spaning" .. says people who are speaking in current time frame.. Wrong meaning
- Option (D) and (E): Usage of "so that" gives the intention of the author here - Correct
- Option (E) - says " so that people can speak Spanish" - people can speak Spanish?? .. WRONG

Answer (D)

thangvietname · Answer

in A.
" for persons who speak spanish
and who do not have to rely on translation from english.

means
has writen a textbook for persons who do not have to rely on translation from english. This is not logic. 
in B
"and then they..." is not closely integrated to the preceding parts of the sentence. I call this case " meaning is not close." the meaing relation among parts of sentence is not close.

this error is hard to realize but if we see another choice which show a more close meaning relation,we can find it.

meaning errors on gmat belong to 4 kinds.

meaning is not logic, (choice A above. this case is most popular)
meaning is not clear
meaning is not close (choice B above. this case is hard)
meaning is redundant.

remember these 4 types of meaning erros permit you to realize all meaning problem on sc.

Nevernevergiveup · Answer

Authors purpose is sth like he wrote a book in telugu so that telugu people do not have to rely on translations.

just like Gita publishers prints books in all our languages so that we don't have to read Sanskrit or Hindi forcibly and then translate 
 for  shifts the purpose to people whereas authors purpose is they can read comfortably not them.

A and B are wrong as   and so then   and   and then they   structures are not parallel to the remaining part of sentence and are also incorrect.
they(  and so then   and   and then they  ) make the events independent and consecutive which do not provide the intended meaning.

C is incorrect as in-addition to for error in A and B, it changes preference to people currently speaking Spanish(not who generally does it) thereby changing the whole intended meaning once again.

E is also incorrect for   and then   part just like A and B.

In choice A, B, and C

it makes no sense to say that “XXX has written a computer textbook in 'Spanish' for people who speak / speaking 'Spanish' （it is redundant and doesn't make much sense）

Also，in choice C
people speaking Spanish 'who do not have to rely on translations from English.'（'who' narrows down the scope of people → if these people do not rely on translations, then why should 'textbook be written in Spanish'）

only D makes sense by using ”so that“ showing a purpose

As Sentence intents to present a cause and effect relationship. “and” doesn’t convey this. D expresses the idea most economically. 
Deborah has written a textbook in spanish- why?
“so that” people who speak Spanish do not.

arvind910619 · Answer

The answer is D 
A and connects dependent clause to Independent clause and Dependent clause does not have its own subject .
Also the meaning also is not clear 
B the cause and effect is not correct 
C seems to suggest that people are right now speaking in Spanish .
D correct 
E and is not used correctly and there is a meaning error as well .

thangvietnam · Answer

the problem with B is that "and then they..." is separate from the main clause. inhere, two independent ideas are presented. "then" show a time sequence, but not a logic sequence. " he write a book in Spanish and SO, they dont have to rely on a translation from English " is better

we need a meaning connection between two ideas as in the case with choice D. it is no sense to present 2 ideas as separate ideas.

we can understand B is the following sentence
he write a book in Spanish , and then they do not have to rely on a translation from English because they no longer learn through reading books but through listening radio.

above sentence is the meaning we can get because there is no " so" or " so that' between the two clauses.

RashedVai · Answer

The intended meaning should be:
*She wrote the textbook for Spanish people who who currently do have to rely on translation from English*

(A) &(B) are redundant in meaning.
Analogy: I teach GMAT to people who want to learn GMAT.
She wrote a book in Spanish for people who speak in Spanish ----> not good.

(C) implies, she translated the book for people who do not need translation from English. This is polar opposite of the intended meaning. The actual meaning is--> these people need translation from English and that's why she wrote the translation.

(D) correct answer. Show cause and effect very clearly by using "so that". They need the translation so she wrote the book.

(E) implies, people were unable to speak Spanish untill she published the book. The book doesn't help people speak Spanish. For sure, this book is not for a traveler to learn Spanish

More on (A) & (B):

Deborah's intention was to free these people from the burden of relying on translations. So the two actions are not separate observation. We can not use "AND". We need cause and effect.
