<p>I am taking the SAT tomorrow. Please help me out! Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>This is from Gruber's
A great many students from several universities (are planning to, if the weather is favorable, attend next Saturday's mass rally in Washington)</p>

<p>According to Erica Meltzer, this sentence should be grammatically correct. But Gruber's said the answer should be</p>

<p>A great many students from several universities (are planning to attend next Saturday's mass rally in Washington
, if the weather is favorable.</p>

<p>Why is the original sentence WRONG????</p>

<p>It’s awkward.</p>

<p>It’s all about picking the sentence that is clearest. Reread the 2nd (correct) sentence, you’ll find it’s way clearer and easier to understand- whereas placing “if the weather is favorable,” abruptly after to breaks your line of thought midway. </p>

<p>Get it?</p>

<p>I hope that helps :)</p>
