SC: the usage of "that"

Hi, Ron, I have a question about the usage of "that". Below is a correct sentence from the sentence correction of OG 16.

remember that the OG is a banned source here.
...and that means it's really a banned source. (i.e., the rule is not 'let's find indirect ways to ask questions about OG problems, without actually copying them'.)

as for the thing you're asking about, (a) yes, it's a little weird, and (b) GMAC has not used such a construction before.

however, as usual, that part is just there to distract you from much easier means of elimination.
if you don't get hung up on that small bit, you should find it straightforward to eliminate the four wrong answers by other, MUCH more basic, means.
