SAT: Error Identification Question #5

Skip to Question: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10  | Next Question

Question: June of 2001, the (a) hottest month that (b) anyone (c) we knew could recall (d). No error (e)



Choices:
A. 2001, the
B. month that
C. anyone
D. could recall
E. No Error



The correct answer is (A). Look carefully at this sentence and you'll notice something's amiss. There is no verb for the subject, which is 'June of 2001.' Therefore, the question has given you a sentence fragment. Despite the fact that the latter half of the fragment has the verb 'recall,' the subject of the sentence is left hanging, only described as the hottest month anyone could recall. The correct sentence would read, "June of 2001 was the hottest month."
