00:05

of you sure brought to you by murder way recently

00:08

solved the mystery of who killed our neighbours Cow It

00:11

was a really mood on it That way We're stretching

00:16

on that one All right Worst dictator of all time

00:18

were skimming Not also reading Worst question of all time

00:22

Or worse the toc of all time That's Different contest

00:26

Equally brutal them All right Robert wants to add two

00:30

sentences after sentence eleven and provide more supporting details Which

00:33

of the following sentences should he ad and hear the

00:36

punchline All right zones on hitler Rosie Guilty killed All

00:43

right well yep Sentence eleven is pretty light on detail

00:45

right here Both killed many millions of people so let's

00:49

see what these other options have to offer Well beat

00:52

hitler and stalin Both caused the deaths of millions of

00:54

people by murdering them either for ethnic or political reasons

00:58

we'll be Sounds pretty good The only problem is that

01:00

it doesn't make clear each dictators individual motivations for mass

01:25

point is comparing the two dictators we can't gloss over

01:28

their particular crimes here as much as their mothers might

01:31

like it If we did that you like to be

01:33

hitler's mother Anyway at this point d is easy to

01:36

nick's Millions of people were killed by both hitler and

01:38

stalin ear because of their religion or race or because

01:41

of their opposition to the dictator Why Because it yet

01:45

has the same problems as the other options It's ones

01:48

even a little worse since its phrasing is just awkward

01:51

Well the correct answer is a because it nicely distinguishes

01:54

between the two dictators Murderous motivations nicely being a relative 00:01:58.977 --> [endTime] word in this case
