Today, we will talk about Modifiers and errors which relate to them.

In the previous chapter, we looked at various ways of joining sentences in terms of grammar. Now, however, we're going to look at joining sentences in terms of meaning.

Today, you will learn how to combine and separate 2 independent clauses.

Precisely recognizing Sentences and Fragments is a valuable strategy to choose correct answers.

Inference questions test what a particular section of a passage suggests or implies.

Literal Comprehension: Same Idea, Different Words. This type of questions ask you to identify what a passage states or indicates.

Before we go any further, it would strongly behoove us to take a look at one of the key features of the redesigned SAT: "supporting evidence" questions.

Every SAT will have a number of questions that test your understanding of the passage as a whole (or in some cases, large sections of it). These question may ask you to identify which statement best summarizes a passage/section of a passage, ot they may ask you recognize an author's point or central claim. While these questions are worded in a straightforward manner, they can also be challenging because they require a leap from the concrete, specific details of a passage to an understanding of its broader themes.

The term diction simply refers to an author's choice of words. Diction errors involve words that are incorrect in a particular context, either because they have the wrong meaning or because they do not follow the conventions of standard written English.

One of the most important concepts that the SAT test is conciseness: as a general rule, short, clear constructions are preferable to long, wordy ones. To be clear, this concept does not apply to questions testing specific grammatical concepts, e.g., subject-verb agreement. However, when multiple answers are grammatically acceptable and convey the same information, the shortest one will typically be correct.
