<p>Hello guys,
Would someone like to explain some of these questions? Thanks!</p>

<p>1) (She and I) shared (so many) interests and hobbies that I began to (wonder whether) the notion of a "soul mate" was more than (just a figment) of Hollywood comedies</p>

<p>No error. Shouldn't it be whether or not?</p>

<p>2) The journalism students were up in arms when (their) new faculty advisor demanded that reporters (for) the school newspaper (censored) content (he believed) was offensive.</p>

<p>Censored is wrong. I have no clue what's wrong</p>

<p>3) The university (where Geraldine wants) to attend has the top-ranked oceanography department in the country.</p>

<p>a) above ^
b) where Geraldine wanted
C) which is where Geraldine wants
D) that Geraldine wants
E) to which Geraldine wants</p>

<p>The answer is d. Why is A incorrect?</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>“Whether or not” is implicit here. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The sentence is in the subjunctive mood: "Their new faculty advisor demanded that … (censored). </p>

<p>Change “censored” to “censor.” Not “censors,” but simply “censor.”</p>

<p>There was another SAT question that tested something like this … where did you get this question from?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Where refers to a location. Geraldine does not want to attend the location of her university.</p>

<p>Try this: what’s wrong with the below sentence? </p>

<p>It is imperative that the government not censor this exhibit, no matter how offensive the images may be, but continues to protect artists’ freedom of expression. No error</p>

<p>You can find this sentence and lots of grammar practice/tips on my Quizlet set:</p>
