SAT Question of the Day Explained – February 11, 2014 – Identifying Sentence Errors

Today’s SAT question of the day is an identifying sentence error question that involves pronoun agreement. By checking the agreements between underlined and non-underlined sections, can you spot the error?

The verbs don’t give us any help here, but we have one two-letter clue that signals the error: it. “It” can only refer to one wolf at a time, so “wolves” must need to be “the wolf” or “a wolf” or, perhaps, “Vladimir the wolf”…anything as long as there is only one wolf to match up with it.

It’s easy to read past small words like it so make sure you bring extra focus to test day and look at every word in each sentence in order to locate possible errors.
