Hi!

You would do well to remove the first two items in your list, and instead understand a general style principle for GMAT sentence correction: if a word does not add extra meaning, then get rid of it!

It's about economy of expression: expressing the point using as few words as possible (it costs $ to print words!)

The word "just" will not add any extra meaning.

What is the word that does not add any extra meaning in the following sentence, and can therefore be removed:

"The town will never be the same again."?
