<li>(Due)A to the tremendous variety (that)B (goes into)C making each quilt, it is virtually impossible for any two be similar, making each piece (one of its)D kind. </li>
</ol>
<p>-> The answere is D and I do not recognize what's wrong with D... Isn't it correct to use its, as the "each" comes before? </p>
<ol>
<li>In (more)A modern cities (which)B have the benefit of extensive urban planning, streets (are)C wide enough to accommodate cars, and sidewalks (provide)D pedestrians with a safe place to walk. </li>
</ol>
<p>-> The answer is E. I thought "which" should be accompanied by comma so I choose B... There is no comma right before the which ! Isn't it B so? </p>
<ol>
<li>(It)A is often said nothing can prepare one for parenthood, (and)B this is really true when (you)C consider (that)D being a parent is a sigular experience. </li>
</ol>
<p>-> The answer is C and I cannot understand why. </p>
<ol>
<li>Some critics prefer the inherent artistry (of)A ballet, (whereas)B others are more enthusiastic about (its technical perfection)D. </li>
</ol>
<p>-> The answer is D and I cannot see what's wrong with D :(</p>
<ol>
<li>(D) because it should be “one of a kind”</li>
<li>(C) because one and you are not interchangeable in a sentence.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>“One of a kind” is a phrase that means “unique.” The sentence has another error, “due to,” which should be “because of.” “Due” is an adjective so it can only modify a **noun<a href=“%22%5Bb%5DRaining%5B/b%5D%20is%20due%20to%20saturated%20air.%22”>/b</a> “Because” is a conjunction so it refers to clauses, which are basically sentences: “It is raining because of saturated air.” “Raining is occurring because there is saturated air.”</p></li>
<li><p>There doesn’t need to be a comma before “which.”</p></li>
<li><p>The sentence is faulty and has problems. Stop using whatever book you got this from. Use the blue book (“The Official SAT Study Guide”), which is made by the same people who make the SAT. The questions in the blue book are more accurate and aren’t problematic.
The phrase “when you” doesn’t work with “this is really true.” Something that is true is true all the time, not when something occurs.</p></li>
<li><p>
“Its” is ambiguous since we don’t know whether the pronoun refers to “artistry” or “ballet.”</p>

<p>Two questions-</p>
<p>In question three is the ‘It’ at the beginning okay? Since I cannot see what ‘it’ is referring to. Secondly, can you please explain why the ‘its’ in the fourth is ambiguous. Doesn’t it clearly refer to ‘ballet’ since the ‘whereas’ is contrasting what some prefer of ballet to what other think of ballet.</p>
<p>
Yes, it is correct. It is called a dummy pronoun. The idea is understood to mean that what is being said . . . is being said. For example, in the sentence “It is necessary that you study,” “that you study” is understood to represent “it.” What is necessary? That you study is necessary. It is necessary that you study. “It” doesn’t have a real referent, but the idea behind it can be found later in the sentence.
Yes, it is clearly understood that “its” refers to “ballet.” Generally the topic of ambiguity is more pronounced on the SAT: It should be obvious that a pronoun is ambiguous. So I don’t necessarily agree with whatever book made this sentence. I don’t fully agree with the answer (I’m not sure), but I was trying to explain what the author of the question was probably thinking when he made it.</p>
<p>Which book are these questions from?</p>
