Question about an SAT Question of the Day

Test Preparation
1

<p>I hadn't glanced at my e-mail for about a month before checking it today. I did all the old SAT Questions from the College Board, but unfortunately the posted answers only go 7 days back. Does anybody remember the answer to this one?</p>

<p>It's from July 3.</p>

<p>The word "collage" was A(first used) B(when referring) to works C(by) Dada and Surrealist artists, D(especially) those of German artist Max Ernst. (E)No error</p>

<p>Is it B or E? Anyone recall? I don't want guesses.</p>

2

<p>Eeeeeeeeee</p>

3

<p>I think its E...</p>

4

<p>The answer's B. I figured this out by accident a while ago: Whenever you put your mouse over each of the answers, look at the URLs of the links...which ever answer choice has a "-1" in the URL will be the correct answer. All the wrong answers have "-0".</p>

5

<p>The answer is B:
The phrase "first used" refers to an one time event.
Therefore, the preposition must be an infinitive, such as "to refer".
"when referring" only works if the A choice is "used'.
You can't change answer A, because then it will alter the meaning fo the sentence.
Geez, I didn't catch that the first time I read the question. . .I would have missed this problem if this was the real test.</p>

6

<p>Have you guys noticed that the question of the day for sentence errors, the answer is never E.</p>

7

<p>can you type the full sentence? it will help us a lot because there might be words before underlined sentences that can make one choice incorrect.</p>

8

<p>???</p>

<p>That is the full sentence.</p>

9

<p>that is the full sentence, isn't it?</p>

10

<p>Oh I see. Definitely B.</p>

11

<p>dang it, you beat me</p>
