<p>______ the original Marvelettes were a group that "fell through the cracks" after rising to great popularity.</p>
<p>B) As biographer Marc Taylor observes,
C) Biographer Marc Taylor is the one who observed that
D) Marc Taylor is a biographer, and he observes that</p>
<p>Answer is B</p>
<p>Why is it not C or D?</p>
<p>C is wrong because Marc Taylor is the one who is redundant and wordy
D is wrong because and results in improper coordination/subordination</p>
<p>B makes the sentence flow logically too!</p>
<p>could you explain more about D’s error?</p>
<p>Although the writer had intended to conceal the criminal’s identity until the final chapter, he planted obvious clues to the identity earlier in the book, ____.</p>
<p>A) and he thus had underestimated the reader’s intelligence</p>
<p>B) in thus underestimating the reader’s intelligence</p>
<p>D) thus underestimating the reader’s intelligence</p>

<p>Could you please give me detailed explanation of why A and B is wrong ?</p>
<p>Provided we have knowledge of the future, our lives would be more predictable but less interesting. </p>
<p>“Were we to have” can be formed as “If we were to have”.
In this sentence, “Provided we have” can be written as “We provided have” right?</p>
<p>No, “We provided have” wouldn’t make sense. The word ‘provided’ has similar uses as ‘if’. “We provided have” = “We if have”
“Provided we have” = “If we have”</p>
<p>For your previous questions, I think all of them do not have grammatical errors (not 100% sure; I’m new to SAT and I’m only 14) but the correct answer fits BEST. What I usually do is I just read all the options out loud, then I usually manage to find the one that makes most sense and doesn’t contain any redundant stuff. :)</p>
<p>If you’re having trouble with the writing section, then reading a diversity of books could definitely help! :D</p>
<p>A - there’s a few problems with “and he thus” but mainly, by using and, the writer is not giving the sentence the proper cause-effect structure
B - “in thus” is obviously too wordy
D - makes it concise</p>
<p>Mind me asking, where are you getting these questions?</p>
