Writing : sentence correction

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I just did a princeton review practice test </p>

<p>the sentence was :</p>

<p>David has a (veracious) appetite and (often) eats five meals a day, (but) somehow he (remains) exceptionally thin. (no error)</p>

<p>( ) represents underline</p>

<p>the answer was A , veracious , because
veracious means always truthful, it should be voracious, meaning eating large amounts of food.
My question is does the SAT ask questions like this in the writing section, about vocab stuff? This isn't the first time i saw it in the PR book. I thought it was just grammar and usage stuff.</p>

<p>Yeah, I saw that in Princeton Review and Barron's 2400, and I just thought, "This is BS." And it is BS. I didn't see anything like that on the March SAT.</p>

<p>(Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.)</p>

<p>I think there was one diction error on the May SAT, but idk about the March test.</p>

4

<p>I don't remember there being one on the March test</p>

<p>I didn't come across any like that on the CB's practice tests either (blue book/online course)</p>
