本文给大家分享的是SAT语法选项的选择技巧，大家可以根据选项的特点和题目的特点相结合来解答，这样就能在应对SAT语法考试的时候更加的有条理也更加容易取得好成绩了。
1.If you find an error, eliminate A.
If you’re certain that there’s an error somewhere in the underlined part of the sentence, you can eliminate A since A always repeats the underlined part wordfor word. Again, you won’t need to know the exact term for the error in order toeliminate A.
The fine art of A elimination gives you a great advantage on Improving Sentences questions. Here’s why: Cutting A means something more than just “one down, four to go.” Even if the other four answers look like gibberish to you,cutting A gives you the green light to guess. As we explain in the introduction tothis book, the SAT does not contain a guessing “penalty.” The test is set up todiscourage totally random guessing, but to reward educated guessing. If you can eliminate even one answer choice, the answer you choose becomes an educated guess—tipping the odds in your favor.
2.Find the correction that most closely matches yours.
Let’s say your correction reads, Jenna was awarded the medal not for her academic success or her skill on the soccer field, but for participating in gym class. Now look at the remaining answer choices and see which one most closelymatches your correction:
(A)but for her being a participant in gym class
(B)the reason being for her participation in gym class
(C)the reason was her participating in gym class
(D)but for her being participation-willing in gym class
(E)but for her participation in gym class
E looks most like the answer you came up with before looking. It’s not exactlylike your prepared answer—it uses her participation instead of for participating—but it’s very close. Rarely will an answer choice exactly match theone you generated on your own, which is fine. The purpose of preparing your own answer first is not to find an exact match in the answer choices but to havean idea of what is correct before you start reading the choices.
If you find an answer that matches yours, awesome. Onward to the next question. Sometimes, though, you may not be totally sure whether any of the answer choices matches yours closely enough. In that case, move to step 5.
3.If no correction matches, eliminate answers that repeat the error or contain new errors.
You’ll usually see a few answer choices that actually repeat the mistake. Others
might fix the original mistake, but in the process add a new error to the mix.
Suppose you weren’t certain that E matched your prepared answer closely enough. In that case, you would read through the answer choices and try to determine if they repeated the first mistake or contained a new one. Answer choice B has a problem similar to that of the original sentence. It says, the reason being, which is a wordy phrase. Meanwhile, C creates a new problem: the word participating is a gerund but should be a noun. D repeats the originalmistake, repeating the phrase but for her being; it also introduces a new problem by using the strange phrase participation-willing. Only E neither repeats the original problem nor contains a new one.
4.If still stumped, reach into your bag of tricks.
Since you’ve already got E as a pretty solid answer from step 5, there’s no needto delve into the bag of Improving Sentences tricks just yet. So we’re going toskip step 6 for now and go right to step 7. At the end of the chapter is a sectionon which tricks to use to beat Improving Sentences questions when you’re in apinch.
5.Plug your answer back into the sentence to check it.
Plug the answer back into the sentence to check how well it works.
Jenna was awarded the medal not for her academic success or her skill on the soccer field, but for her participation in gym class.
Sounds good. Sounds right.
6.If you’re still stumped—cut, guess, and run.
