<p>I came across this question in Princeton Review's practice book:</p>
<p>Moving on to other topics, the dispute was abandoned by the editors in order to accomplish a greater amount of work at the meeting.</p>
<p>So it came down to</p>
<p>(B) By moving on to other topics, the editors abandoned the dispute</p>
<p>(E) Moving on to other topics, the editors abandoned the dispute</p>
<p>The answer is E. Why?</p>
<p>Don’t know…that’s why you should only rely on college board’s real SATs.</p>
<p>E is more concise. Although A is correct, the sentence revision questions also test for style and brevity.</p>
<p>You guys are too quick to jump to such a simple solution. To be honest, BB is ridiculously easy and doesn’t offer great advice. Obviously, its a good way to learn about how the test is structured, but I’m a big fan of PR, so I had to say this.</p>
<p>Anyhow, PR really prepared me for the test. Rose from 600s in CR to mid 700s. 700 math to 800. I was always good at writing, but it did one amazing job getting me more aquainted with the types of problems. </p>
<p>It is because of PR that I can say the answer is E because by moving on, the editors (accomplished some action) – they didn’t accomplish abandoning, they accomplished moving on.</p>
