SAT Writing Question; It's a trick one.

<p>The television station has received many complaints about the clothing advertisements, which some viewers complained to be tasteless.</p>

<p>A. has received
B. about
C. which some
D. to be
E. no error</p>

<p>Explain why?</p>

<p>The irony of my topic title is amazing. It's a trick * one. Tricky</p>

<p>I vote (D) because it sounds weird, haha. </p>

<p>Shouldn't it be:
The television station has received many complaints about the clothing advertisements, which some viewers complained were tasteless.</p>

<p>EDIT: Well, you could mean that the SAT Writing Question is a 'trick one' :p</p>

<p>I vote D as well. The tense shifts between the first and second part of the sentence (received, to be), so that means it's either A or D. D sounds worse so I will go with that.</p>

<p>D. 10char</p>

<p>Which one's the right answer, do you know?</p>

<p>I would go with B.</p>

<p>B because complaints "against" sounds better.</p>

<p>Or A, because of the tense agreement.</p>

<p>Its D. I complained about whatever sounds perfectly natural. Complained to be makes no sense and there is a tense disagreement there.</p>

<p>where did u get this from? i clearly remember it was "condemned..as" , did u changed the word on purpose? or was it one of the kaplan questions?</p>

<p>whichever it is, the right answer is "as" not "to be"</p>

<p>D, fo' sure.</p>

<p>Either D or A. </p>

<p>A doesnt sound right there, but D makes it sound like ppll complained so they could be tasteless</p>

<p>D is probably wrong, but also, isnt 'which' ambiguous???</p>

<p>Answer must be C. Error in modification.</p>

<p>I wonder who's right. Me or ... everyone else.</p>

<p>C is not an option for sure. im sure 100%.
=]
im still waiting OP to answer my Q, is this from kaplan?
answer is D</p>

<p>Sorry for the delay guys. The answer as most of you guys guessed D.</p>

<p>It was in the SAT Preparation Handbook on the collegeboard site.</p>

<p>Hey Hey , typo. I meant D. Duh.</p>

<p>^<em>Cough</em><em>cough</em></p>
