Explanation for Question 1 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Now for number two or for number one, 2 rather on section two of this sat exam, 3 we're looking at the sentence, which says seek heroes, 4 uh, was asked to celebrate tropical America in his work comma. 5 He accordingly titled at tropical America or America Tropicale. 6 And so what we need to see here is that there is a comma 7 and that comma we're not allowed to get rid of. 8 Right? And as the sentence is written, we actually have a complete sentence in 9 front of the comma. Securus was asked to celebrate tropical America in his work. 10 So we've got subject, we've got verb. Um, 11 so that's an independent clause and then we've got a comma. 12 And as it's written, what we have here is he accordingly title that America 13 Tropicale, that's also an independent clause. 14 And we need to know that this is never correct. 15 You can never just separate two independent clauses with a comma. 16 You need a comma and an injunction, 17 right? So a is wrong because we have a independent clause after the comma 18 now D would also give us an independent clause after the comma and same 19 thing with C. And so bees are best answer because it gives us an 20 independent clause followed by a dependent clause, 21 which allows us to use the comma. But it also has the word witch. 22 And we should note that whenever you have the word, which you always use 23 a comma before, it it's always comma. 24 Which, and so since there's a witch there, 25 we know we have to use a comma, which we have here. 26 And so our best answer is B.
