<li>(That) Erica dedicated (so much) of her time to charity work (and she cared) so little about those (less fortunate) than she is surprising.</li>
</ol>
<p>Error at (and she cared). Apparently it should be but. Has the SAT ever tested incorrect conjunctions?</p>
<p>27.(When looking) at satellite photographs of the areas (affected) by Hurricane Katrina, the effects of the massive storm (are) (clearly) visible.</p>
<p>Yes, they test those often.</p>
<p>I think 27 is no error</p>
<p>Yes they do, I forgot which test it was from but I just had one with an incorrect conjunction.</p>
<ol>
<li>A is incorrect. The effects cannot look…unless…yea…they can’t look.</li>
</ol>
<p>Logically incorrect conjunctions are tested somewhat often.</p>
<p>As for #27, “When looking” is incorrect because “looking” is an adjective that needs to modify something (here, the observer); that noun is not in the sentence, however.</p>
<p>wait is it no error? Isn’t it a dangling modifier?
EDIT: thought so :)</p>
<p>Ah, it’s the infamous dangling participle</p>
<p>I hate it when that happens.</p>
<p>I hate the idioms more, I am not a native english speaker so I always just barely get the idiom error.</p>
