SAT: Error Identification Question #6

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

Question: On paper there (a) was nothing wrong with (b) the artists' proposal (c) to build the statue honoring the former governor (d). No error (e)



Choices:
A. paper there
B. wrong with
C. artists' proposal
D. honoring the former governor
E. No Error



The correct answer is (A). Sentences that begin with an introductory phrase generally need to contain a comma to offset the phrase. Read the sentence aloud and you may hear the natural pause between 'paper' and 'there.' This is because of the way in which introductory phrases affect sentences, setting up a place, format or situation in which the rest of the sentence's actions will unfold. The correct answer is A because there should be a comma after 'paper.'
