Today’s SAT question of the day is an identifying sentence errors question about the Sistine Chapel.  It definitely won’t take you four years to hear the error in this sentence if you read carefully and pay attention to each word.

We can check each underlined section to make sure everything works: “working on” checks out, “hundreds of giant figures” sounds fine, “figures that represented his vision” is correct…but there is a problem in the first underlined section.

We say that things are between something and something else, and we also use the same construction for time: things happen between one year and another, not between one year to another.

If you skipped right past that tiny “to” in section A, or thought of it as from one year to another (which would be correct – but our sentence says between, not from), try to read even more carefully next time!  You can also practice reading more carefully in your daily life – you will be surprised by how many errors you can catch, especially in online news.
