SAT语法解题技巧——从选项中寻找答案，有时比较完了选项后，很难从已给信息中找出答案，这时我们可以比较剩下的选项，由选项中的不同来寻找答案。
例：In the eighteenth century, politics was thought to be an improper sphere for women, whose boycott of English goods was different than any protest the English had seen before.
(A) whose boycott of English goods was different than any protest the English had seen before
(B) whose boycotting English goods was different than any protest the English had seen before
(C) whose boycott of English goods was different from any protest the English had seen before
(D) whose boycott of English goods was different from any protest the English saw before
(E) whose boycotting of English goods was different from any protest the English have seen before
我们知道固定搭配应该是be different from, 而不是be different than , 所以马上把A和B排除掉。下一步就应该来对比剩下的三个选项，C和D用了名词boycott，而E选项用了动名词boycotting，在SAT语法当中有一条非常重要的原则，即名词要优先于动名词，比方说同时出现了名词和动名词，就应该优先备选名词的选项。所以E错。再把C和D进行比较，C用了过去完成时，D用了过去时，由题意应该是发生在18世纪以前，所以应该用过去完成时，所以答案选C.
