Tricky Writing Qs (Find the error)

<p>Norwegian writer Lauren Douglas is like the novelist Sir Walter Scott in her use of historical backgrounds, but unlike his books, she dwells on the psychological aspects of her characters. or no error</p>

<p>C is the error. It compares "his books" to "she," which is erroneous.</p>

<p>^ agreed...</p>

<p>how very tricky lol</p>

<p>Faulty comparison.It should be ''unlike him'' or ''unlike Douglas''</p>

<p>JP 100 do some serious reviewing or you're going to suffer when you take the SAT</p>

<p>agreed. this type of grammar error is extremely common in the identifying sentence errors sections. another one would be that of subject and verb agreement. so might be a good idea to consider these two grammar laws every time you feel tempted to put down an 'E'.</p>

<p>seems simple to me. No error, agreed.</p>

<p>chrgra haha who did you agree with that there is no error ?hahaha</p>

<p>This mistake, C, is grammatically known as a misplaced modifier - it's one of the SATs favorite tough grammatical errors. Study up on misplaced modifiers!</p>

<p>i think thats a tough one. The answer is clearly "C" but most writing Qs are out of this world easy for every1 not retarded...(subject verb agreement....rofl....)</p>

<p>Be sure to watch out for these, they come up all the time on the SAT and are easy to overlook if you read quickly (I think that's what makes them tricky, not the grammar error itself).</p>
