3 SAT Writing Questions. Help please?

<ol>
<li>The professor suggested that those who wished to attend the lecture next week be in the classroom 10 minutes earlier than usual. No error.</li>
</ol>

<p>Underlines: A=suggested, B=those who wished, C=be in the classroom, D=earlier than usual. Why doesn't this sentence contain an error? I picked B because I thought it should say ''those who wish to attend''.</p>

<ol>
<li>A quick inspection of Kurt's art collection would show clearly that he has a discerning eye for exemplary works of art. No error.</li>
</ol>

<p>Underlines: A=inspection, B=would show clearly, C=he has, D=exemplary works of art. This is another sentence that doesn't have an error. Why!? I picked B because I thought it should say, ''would clearly show''.</p>

<ol>
<li>Roberto volunteered to be an usher, not wanting to be the one that had to clean up the petals after the ceremony.</li>
</ol>

<p>a. original phrasing
b. which had to clean up the petals after the ceremony
c. who had to clean up the petals after the ceremony
d. that was cleaning the petals up after the ceremony
e. who was to be cleaning up the petals after the ceremony</p>

<p>I narrowed this one down to C and E, but why is C correct instead of E?</p>

<ol>
<li>This cannot be B, because if you look at the verb suggested you can see that it is in past tense which corresponds to those who wished. Wished is in past tense, but if you wanted to change that too as you said "those who wish to attend’’, then you would have an error in number shift. A.) is right as well because it is in past sense. All the others are grmmatically as well correct by the looks of it. </li>
</ol>

<p>26.) Clearly show, and show clearly retain the same meaning, so it is grammatically find either way. Every other option is also grammatically correct.</p>

<p>10.) Look at the Which, Who, and that. You use which, and that when dealing with person, place, or animal not person as in the sentence, so it should automatically ring to you that those options are incorrect. Who is always when reffering to people, and that can go either I beliebe(you may want to search that up). There are several reasons why C is a better option than E. The first thing I noticed is that C is more simpler in content than E. C uses had, which keeps the number tense right. Whereas was changes number tense. Serach number tense if you dont know what that is.</p>

<p>I hope I helped. </p>

<p>For 10.
Roberto volunteered to be an usher, not wanting to be the one who was to be cleaning up the petals after the ceremony.</p>

<p>Try this. Take the entire clause starting with the pronoun “who”. Replace “who” with I and look at the resulting clause: I was to be cleaning up the petals after the ceremony. Does this look right? Do the same with C. Here you get: I had to clean up the petals after the ceremony. Choose. Which one is wrong and which is right?</p>

<p>For 24, the use of “suggested that” is a lead into the subjunctive tense. I think that this is a very hard question and that it is unlikely to appear on the SAT. My sense is that the sentence as written and your choice C are both correct.</p>

<p>Oh ok. Thanks guys :)</p>
