Today’s SAT question of the day is an improving sentences question about lions.  This is an important point when it comes to fixing this sentence, as lions are not currently functioning as the subject of the sentence.  Let’s see if we can find a way to change that.

Answer choices A, C, and E make the Asiatic Lion the subject of the sentence.

Choice A changes the meaning of the sentence and says that the reason that Asiatic lions are found in Gir is because they are smaller than their African counterparts.This isn’t what we’re looking for.

Choice C makes a good ol’ American run-on sentence by putting in lots of commas, this is not effective, the sentence doesn’t stop, and it is not the right answer.

Choice E correctly incorporates the information about the lions’ size and makes the lion the grammatical subject of the sentence.  It’s our winner today!

Make sure that your answer choice not only solves the problem in the sentence but also keeps the sentence free of new problems!
