<ol>
<li>I would also put no error?</li>
<li>B</li>
</ol>

5

<p>same i agree
no error
B</p>

6

<p>no error, B</p>

7

<p>no error
B</p>

8

<p>Yes 23. E</p>

<p>However, 7. C</p>

9

<p>Really? There’s nothing technically wrong with C, but B just sounds better and requires less change from the original sentence. I doubt a question like this would appear on a real SAT.</p>

10

<p>Well, C changes the meaning of the original sentence, which is that the heart is surrounded by the sac, with C the meaning and focus of the sentence is placed around the sac surrounding the heart.</p>

11

<p>Which is why B makes more sense…</p>

12

<p>Ya, I chose choice B as well but ended up getting it wrong. Well, I guess this is why you can’t trust PR too much.</p>
