Tricky problem

<p>As I [thought] of the choices, it made sense to [only take the least expensive] option. Therefore, I [saved] a lot of money that I [needed in order to pay off] my expenses. [No error]</p>

<p>This whole sentence sounds like a bunch of crap. I got it from the library. Anyways I couldnt really understand why any of these are wrong.</p>

<p>the whole sentence needs to be re-written. it's sounds really wierd. But, grammatically, is seems correct. No error</p>

<p>I agree with stuck-on-1700 -- it's a poorly written set of sentences, but there aren't any particular errors that need to be corrected. The whole thing just needs to be re-written.</p>

<p>No error on this one</p>

<p>Although no error would sort of make sense. I would go with [saved].</p>

<p>Wouldn't it make more sense as [would save]?</p>

<p>I would probably pick No Error, but if I had to pick the one I thought was most wrong, I would say [only take the least expensive]. Can one "take" a "choice?" I would use "pick" or "choose" or something to that extent. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's correct the way it is.</p>

<p>EDIT: ... Of course one can "take" a "choice." Hence the idiom, "take your choice." Forget I said anything.</p>

<p>*Although no error would sort of make sense. I would go with [saved].</p>

<p>Wouldn't it make more sense as [would save]?*</p>

<p>No, because the rest of the paragraph is in past tense. Making it conditional would foul up the consistency of the tense. I vote No Error on this as well.</p>

<p>the answer is E. I thought the whole paragraph sounded disfunctional but I guess that what the SAT can make you think.</p>
