<p>With tens of thousands of craters scattered over the moon's surface, they often overlap one another.</p>
<p>(the whole sentence is underlined)</p>
<p>a With tens of thousands of craters scattered over the moon's surface, they often overlap</p>
<p>b With tens of thousands of craters scattered over its surface, on the moon they often overlap</p>
<p>c The moon's surface, with tens of thousands of craters scattered over it, they often overlap</p>
<p>d Tens of thousands of craters are scattered over the moon's surface, often overlapping</p>
<p>e Tens of thousands of craters, scattered over the moon's surface, often overlapping</p>
<p>I'm not good with these writing questions. I'm caught between A and D but I'm going with D. Es verdad?</p>
<p>I say A to be honest.</p>
<p>Deference, that's the SAT Question of the Day at CollegeBoard! I just went to the site, realizing that they probably updated the daily question by now, only to find out I had already did it. Wow, I feel oddly robbed...</p>
<p>What is the difference of doing here at CC or at Collegeboard. I didn't give the answer away...</p>
<p>D sounds the best to me. It is the only one that successfully gets rid of the ambiguous "they."</p>
<p>P.S. Where do you find the SAT Question of the Day at CollegeBoard?</p>
<p>Its D. </p>
<p>A is wrong because the "they," which represents craters, is not supposed to be modified by the phrase up to the comma.</p>
<p>Hehe I just did it!</p>
<p>Yeah, it's D.</p>
<p>I got choice A. In choice D, doesn't "often overlapping" after the comma modify the moon's surface? I thought "often overlapping" should modify the craters.</p>
<p>I was using the same logic that kevin4242 was. Why is that? Which book(s) cover this material very well?</p>
<p>Edit: I understand why A is wrong, but why is D right and not wrong?</p>
<p>I think D...What's really the right answer?</p>
<p>can someone explain why choice A is wrong and choice D is correct?</p>
<p>Shadow, you can find the SAT Question of the Day here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/apps/qotd/question%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com/apps/qotd/question</a></p>
<p>Or just go to the College Board site. Then, click on the white box that says,"Practice with the SAT Question of the Day." The question is updated daily and it's either a math, writing, or CR Sentence Completion question. You can also be e-mailed the Question of the Day daily. </p>
<p>Deference, I didn't mean to be rude. It's just that I like answering the Question of the Day. Seriously, I count how many days in a row I can get the Question of the Day correct. I'm glad I got this one correct. :)</p>
<p>D because in A the "they" is ambiguous.</p>
<p>@Cryptic</p>
<p>I am very sorry to have broken your row...
The next time around I will put a cautio sign, before I typ down the question</p>
