Thanks again xiggi.

The only thing I don’t understand is what you meant by “look at the correct answers to ensure you are complely aware of the mechanism used”. Also can you provide a more specific tips on what to do once i get a mistake. Should i go on the internet and look up like fragments/misplaced modififers if i got those wrong, or practice those specific problems since i have Erica Metzlers book that categorizes each problem of BB.

One more thing-- in fixing sentences, my one major fault is sometimes i dont know what’s really wrong with it, but i know its wrong, so i just plug in each answer choice to see which is the best fit. Most of the time this gets me the right answer, but not all the time.<— especially with ones with more than 2 commas.

Ex: One of the first people to recognize the talent of Langston Hughes, [Jessie Fauset, was an editor at Crisis magazine, publishing] Hughes’s poetry in 1921.
