This was a meaning based question imo

B,C,E can be removed becuase theh usage of "damaging" makes it seem like the governments which damaged the resources receive compensation, which is not the case

I agree but last bit seems parallelism based also.Ending one

“For damage to” “for injury to”

D suffers from redudancy

"the giving of compensation", well in a compensation you are already giving something, so there is no need to repeat that

also using "of" rather than "to" is somewhat incorrect. It’s not for the damage OF the resources, its for the damage TO the resources that is being compensated

This seems like a big point.

Ok nice

Do you have any recommendation as to how I can improve my SC?

600 level accuracy is around 70-80%

For 700 level it’s at 40-50

His SC videos?
Yes, if I could afford to hire him as a tutor I 100% would, but his videos are excellent

Ok nice I’ll look into it. Although I have gone over them before.

But maybe not as thoroughly

He offers a very solid approach, which is it to firstly eliminate "mechnical errors" and then chase after meaning

You should be able to eliminate all but 2 (and in the harder questions 3) choices, at which point it becomes a game of understanding the meaning

SC is not a test of grammar rules, but a test of how you use grammar to convey a logical meaning to a sentence

All the errors that lead to wrong answers are those errors that cause big meaning issues
