<p>A)those cities
B)in which
C)are rarely
D)involved in
E)No error</p>

<p>Could you please tell we what you think is the answer and why?
Thank you!</p>

<p>I'm thinking A, but I may be wrong. As far as I can tell, you wouldn't need to specify 'those' cities when you're further explaining which cities you're talking about. Again, I'm maybe 75% sure. I don't think it could be B, C, or D. It might be no error. It's a tricky one.</p>

3

<p>Those cities could just be "cities".</p>

4

<p>I was think that B was wrong, but the right answer is in fact E, no error...</p>

5

<p>YAY! I got it wrong... meh.</p>

6

<p>But why is it E though? The B part just doesn't sound right to me for some reason...</p>

7

<p>This is why the writing portion on the SAT is rigged.</p>

8

<p>^ lol yeah. SAT is rigged in general. Especially the reading comprehension thing.Sometimes I just can't agree with the right answer.</p>

<p>AJAFGHJKHHAJKGA, I hate this rigged system..!!!!</p>

<p>I see... interesting. I would have picked A I think, and I usually do very well on writing (750+). It's just one of those questions where you just memorize that if you see it starting with "in those cities in which..." or whatever, it's not incorrect. Sometimes you just can't get yourself to agree or see why it's correct, o well.</p>

11

<p>the answer is E</p>

12

<p>It's completely correct.</p>

<p>"In those cities" is not wordy enough to justify cutting out the "those." That is, it's not really an error that needs to be fixed in order to make the sentence grammatically correct. </p>

<p>Next we have the clause with the relative word "which." We also know not to end sentences with prepositions, so the "in" must go before "which." So "in which..." is correct, because "which...in" would be incorrect.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I thought it might be E. The sentence is a mouthful, but technically it is grammatically correct. I probably would have omitted this on a real test. :(</p>
