<p>1- Home of the world's largest chocolate-manufacturing plant, Hershey, Pennsylvania, was originally known as Derry Church, but its name was changed in 1906 to honor one of their most famous residents.</p>
<p>Supposedly, the correct answer is D: (their). Although this is correct, but isn't A: (Home of) incorrect as well? Shouldn't it be, "Home to"?</p>
<p>2- The valuable stringed instruments in this display, all more than 300 years old, were carefully crafted by artisans famous in their day but long since forgotten.</p>
<p>The answer key stated that this sentence was correct with no errors. I beg to differ. Answer B seems okay as well. "all more than" should be changed to "which are more than" which is considered standard English, whereas "all more than" would be more common in spoken English.</p>
<p>“Home of” is grammatically correct. It just sounds awkward. You already know that “their” is incorrect. </p>
<p>Again, “all more than” is also grammatically correct. There is no reason why it would be wrong. “Which are more than” could also work, but it is unnecessary and the sentence is correct as is.</p>
<p>I think that you are over-thinking the Writing section. This is very common. Remember, if you can’t think of a reason why a phrase would be wrong, and the sentence just sounds “awakward,” chances are the sentence is correct. </p>
<p>SAT test writers always do this to test one’s true grammatical knowledge as opposed to his or her ability to just read the sentence out loud.</p>
<p>Don’t over think the Writing section.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>@Kieran, perfect advice. I do over-think questions, and simply mark them wrong because they sound wrong. Guess next time I’ll come up with a reason to why something is wrong next time before I mark it. Thank you!</p>
<p>Okay it’s D because “their” is plural while “Hershey, Penn” is singular. Always pick the error that is widely known. </p>
<p>And listen to Kieran.</p>
<p>For one, everything is correct except “their”. There cannot be two incorrects, and “home of” isn’t necessarily incorrect. The pronoun “their” is plural, while the subject, “Hershey, Pennselviania” or “Derry Church” are singular.</p>

<li>I found no errors. I was actually trying to find a error when there were none, which is wrong to do. You are over-complicating things.</li>
</ol>
<p>Appreciate the advice. It’ll definitely pay off on my next test.</p>
