let\u2019s go through the answers to those identifying sentence error questions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

remember that this isn\u2019t just about checking whether or not you got the right answers. it\u2019s about understanding how<\/i> you should get there. when you take the sat, you should analyze each underlined section in a different way, depending on what part of the sentence is underlined. the explanations below are examples of what your thought process should be like when taking your sat.<\/p>\n

although they also showed up in that previous post, the questions are reproduced here for easy reference. but this is not the place to do them! go back to the first post if you haven\u2019t already tried them there, where there are no answers for you to peek at.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

explanation for question 1<\/h2>\n

1. cottage industry, also (<\/i>a) known<\/span> as the putting-out system, was the initial phase of industrialization, (<\/i>b) although<\/span> it was soon overshadowed by other systems of production (<\/i>c) that<\/span> (<\/i>d) have become widespread<\/span> during the industrial revolution of the 19th<\/sup> century. (<\/i>e) no error<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(a) known<\/span>: this is in a modifying phrase\u2014an sat favorite\u2014so you should check that it\u2019s next to the correct noun. \u201ccottage industry\u201d is what\u2019s known as the putting-out system, so there\u2019s no problem.<\/p>\n

(b) although<\/span>: this linking word shows a contrast. should there be one? yep. move on.<\/p>\n

(c) that<\/span>: what does \u201cthat\u201d refer to? a place or time? nope\u2014it\u2019s a thing (\u201csystems of production\u201d), so it\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n

(d) have become widespread<\/span>: this is a verb, so you should check both the subject and the tense. the \u201csystems\u201d are plural, so \u201chave\u201d is correct in number (not \u201chas\u201d), but the time is wrong! it should say \u201cbecame widespread.\u201d<\/p>\n

the error is (d).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/i>explanation for question 2<\/h2>\n

2. the flower, after (<\/i>a) fertilization<\/span> (<\/i>b) with<\/span> the grains of pollen that (<\/i>c) a bee inadvertently transports<\/span>, will slowly (<\/i>d) perish and wither<\/span>. (<\/i>e) no error<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(a) fertilization<\/span>: a noun like this could possible be a word choice problem, but there doesn\u2019t seem to be any incorrect meaning here.<\/p>\n

(b) with<\/span>: a preposition! check the words that the preposition is combining (especially the one that comes before it) and make sure that they sound natural\u00a0together. although \u201cfertilization with\u201d might sound a little strange, if you said, \u201cthey fertilized<\/i> the flower with<\/i> pollen,\u201d that\u2019d be just fine, so it\u2019s probably acceptable here.<\/p>\n

(c) a bee inadvertently transports<\/span>: the most likely problem here is a number issue. \u201ca bee\u201d has to be parallel with anything that it logically relates to. in this case, it\u2019s related to \u201cthe flower.\u201d both are singular, so it\u2019s alright. you should also look at the tense of the verb transports, which is just fine, in this case.<\/p>\n

(d) perish and wither<\/span>: this one is a bit hard to see when looking systematically, because it doesn\u2019t have to do with what part of the sentence is underlined. this is about redundancy; \u201cperish\u201d and \u201cwither\u201d mean basically the same thing. you don\u2019t need them both.<\/p>\n

the error is (d).<\/p>\n

explanation for question 3<\/h2>\n

3. art and culture flourished (<\/i>a) briefly<\/span> during the prague spring, (<\/i>b) a short period<\/span> (<\/i>c) when<\/span> relaxed censorship and (<\/i>d) looser<\/span> soviet control. (<\/i>e) no error<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(a) briefly<\/span>: notice the \u201c-ly\u201d in the word. should it be there (should this be an adjective instead)? it\u2019s correct as it is.<\/p>\n

(b) a short period<\/span>: check that the number of the noun is right, which it is. there was only one prague spring.<\/p>\n

(c) when<\/span>: this is a connecting word, so make sure that it makes the right relationship between sentences. wait a minute\u2026 sentences? the second part doesn\u2019t form a complete thought. there should be a subject after \u201cwhen.\u201d or it could be changed into a preposition like \u201cof,\u201d which doesn\u2019t connect whole thoughts (a.k.a. clauses) like \u201cwhen\u201d does.<\/p>\n

(d)looser<\/span>: check if it should be a comparative (-er) or a superlative (-est). there are only two things being compared\u2014soviet control before and during the prague spring\u2014so \u201c-er\u201d is correct.<\/p>\n

the error is (c).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

explanation for question 4<\/h2>\n

4. (<\/i>a) having died young,<\/span> raymond carver\u2019s career as a short-story writer was cut regrettably (<\/i>b) short<\/span>, and (<\/i>c) we<\/span> are left with only a fragment of his only (<\/i>d) attempt at<\/span> a novel. (<\/i>e) no error<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(a) having died young,<\/span>: alarm bells should be ringing<\/a>. like choice (a) in question number 1, this is a modifying phrase. the sat loves to put these at the beginning of sentences next to subjects that they can\u2019t modify. raymond carver\u2019s career <\/i>didn\u2019t die young. carver <\/i>died young.<\/p>\n

(b) short,<\/span>: check the comma here to see if it\u2019s making a run-on sentence. since the word \u201cand\u201d comes just after it, there\u2019s no problem.<\/p>\n

(c) we<\/span>: is \u201cwe\u201d the right number and case here? should it be \u201ci\u201d or \u201cus\u201d? no problems there, and it does work alright as a general pronoun, referring to the public rather than any specific people, so move on.<\/p>\n

(d) attempt at<\/span>: this is a prime place to think twice about the preposition. should it be \u201cattempt on\u201d? how about \u201cattempt to\u201d? nope. sounds pretty good as it is.<\/p>\n

the error is (a).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

explanation for question 5<\/h2>\n

5. the defendant (<\/i>a) surprised<\/span> the jury not only with his candor (<\/i>b) as well as<\/span> with (<\/i>c) what<\/span> seemed to be genuine goodwill (<\/i>d) behind<\/span> his smile. (<\/i>e) no error<\/i><\/p>\n

(a) surprised<\/span>: find the subject (defendant), and see that that\u2019s okay. then check the tense. doesn\u2019t cause any problems.<\/p>\n

(b) as well as<\/span>: does this link correct forms together? although \u201cwith his candor\u201d and \u201cwith what seemed to be\u2026\u201d are parallel, the phrase \u201cnot only\u201d that came before should jump out at you. any time you see \u201cnot only\u201d you should find a \u201cbut also,\u201d and here, there isn\u2019t one. no good.<\/p>\n

(c) what<\/span>: should this be \u201cwho,\u201d \u201cwhen,\u201d or \u201cwhere\u201d? nope? okay.<\/p>\n

(d) behind<\/span>: match this preposition up with the things it joins. \u201cgoodwill behind his smile\u201d sounds fine, because \u201cbehind\u201d and \u201csmile\u201d go well together.<\/p>\n

the error is (b).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/i>explanation for question 6<\/h2>\n

6. exotic pet enthusiasts prize male peacocks (<\/i>a) for<\/span> their feathers (<\/i>b) because<\/span> the males are the (<\/i>c) more colorful<\/span> of the two (<\/i>d) sexes; in contrast,<\/span> female peacocks are mostly for breeding purposes. (<\/i>e) no error<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(a) for<\/span>: the preposition \u201cfor\u201d matches just fine with \u201cprized,\u201d so this is okay.<\/p>\n

(b) because<\/span>: this works to connect the two complete thoughts. there\u2019s no problem in the logic, either, since it\u2019s a cause-and-effect relationship.<\/p>\n

(c) more colorful:<\/span> although \u201cthe more colorful\u201d might sound weird, and you might want to change it to \u201cmost,\u201d that wouldn\u2019t make sense. there are only two things being compared here\u2014males and females\u2014so we need to keep \u201cmore\u201d as it is.<\/p>\n

(d) sexes; in contrast,<\/span>: the semi-colon has to join up two full thoughts (it acts like a period), which it does, here. \u201cin contrast\u201d is one of many introductory words like \u201chowever\u201d which need to be followed by commas, so that\u2019s also fine.<\/p>\n

there\u2019s no error. the answer is (e).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

more practice<\/h2>\n

need more? give our sat prep package a spin. there\u2019s a limited free trial<\/a>, so why not?<\/p>\n
