SAT/ACT Prep Question of the Day

[A] When people gave up the hunter-gatherer way of life and began to cultivate the soil and grow their food, they often [B] became less mobile, built more substantial residences, and [C] they developed [D] more effective means of storage. E] No error

[A] [B] [C] [D] [E]

Hint: Ask yourself, "What interferes with the parallel structure of the sentence?"

Answer: The error in this sentence occurs at (C), where there is a flaw in parallelism. The pronoun "they" should be removed so that the sentence contains three parallel verbs ("became," "built," and "developed").

Juniors & Seniors may sign up to meet with college and military representatives who visit Broughton throughout the year. These representatives are usually the ones who will be processing the applications received from Broughton students. Sign-up sheets are posted in a notebook in the Guidance Resource Center [Room 1209]. Teachers must give permission for students to attend these meetings.
