In the ultimate guide to sat grammar, a rule mentioned that if a comma preceded because, it is directly incorrect. I saw some correct answers in sat question that have “…, because…” so what should I do ?
The NORMAL order is if the DC is first, there’s a comma between it and the IC, but if the IC is first, there’s no comma between it and the DC. But that book is wrong if it says “because” can never be preceded by a comma. There are plenty of situations in which that formulation is admissible.
Ahh okay, thank you @marvin100
@marvin100 - have you seen situations on real CB tests where that formulation is admissable?
Yes, and so has @gameplayer1234
@marvin100, 2. The television station (has received) (A) many complaints (about) (B) the
clothing advertisements, which (some) © viewers condemn (to be) (D)
tasteless. No Error. (E)
Answer is D. I could make out that it should be “as” instead of “to be” but what is the precise grammatical rule regarding this since it’s an entirely new problem for me?
Idiom: “condemn as.”
Thanks Marvin. I’m a little disappointed to hear that Erica has an error in her book, but its good to know.
