<p>Surely one of the most far-reaching changes in the nineteenth century will be the change from working at home to working in the factory.</p>
<p>A) Surely
B) will be
C) at home
D) to working in
E) no error</p>
<p>The correct answer is B. I don't see why. Yes, the 19th century is in the past, but there's nothing wrong grammatically. This sentence could have been written by someone predicting major changes in the 19th century. Why is B grammatically incorrect?</p>
<p>It’s the 21st century.</p>
<p>Edit: It’s really as simple as that. The writers know what century it is; this must be accounted for when one analyzes the College Board’s sentences. Indeed, the sentence may have been written prior to the 19th century, but it was written by the College Board in modern times.</p>
<p>You have to assume that the sentences are written in modern times unless otherwise specified.</p>
<p>Wow lol. That’s kind of lame.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I agree. This is a poor question.</p>
