SAT Writing Question

<p>No one objects to<a href="A">/u</a> his company, even though he has made insulting remarks about<a href="B">/u</a> almost every<a href="C">/u</a> member of the group, when<a href="D">/u</a> he is a remarkable witty man.
No error.<a href="E">/u</a></p>

<p>Can someone help me?
Thanks :)</p>

<p>Choice (D) just doesn’t make sense. They don’t object to his company *when *he is witty. This implies that they sometimes do object to him, and that isn’t what the sentence is saying. They don’t object to his company *because *he is witty.</p>

<p>D (when) is not an adequate linker of the two independent clauses “noone objects to his company” and “he is a remarkable witty man”. A linker like a fanboy or because would be better.</p>

<p>Did I get it right? ;)</p>

<p>I agree with JoonBug812. The conjunction (when) that is used to tie the two contrasting clauses together is not correct.</p>

<p>An appropriate conjunction is “because”. Rephrasing the sentence a bit: “Despite his foul behavior the group like him because he’s witty.”</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies :slight_smile: Yeah, at first, I didn’t understand what the sentence was trying to convey. Now I get it.</p>
