little bit similar post is added but is quite older

Now a days, in my practice for SC questions, 80% of the time I end up with the last two options which does not have any grammatical issue but there is slight shift of modifiers or shift in meaning between them.
I have always not been good with the meaning in SC and most of my answers are coming incorrect for the same reasons.
I am trying to overcome this with the practicing more questions but I see very little progress with this method. I believe most of us must be going through the same and most of us might have overcome this. Can you please share your experience and strategy to meaning based approach?
My Approach to SC question – whenever I see a SC question I do the following –
1. Meaning – read the full sentence carefully
2. Deconstruct to Clauses – Separate DC, IC
3. Can you identify the split in choices? – This is to save your time
4. Eliminate choices with Definite errors
- S-V Pairs – are the matching?
- Parallelism – check the list to be parallel? Meaning should be conveyed?
- Pronoun – Does it have proper antecedent?
- Modifier – are they placed correctly?
- Tenses – are they correct?
- Idioms – are they correct?
- Meaning – is it conveying the right meaning?

Approach looks solid, but approach itself can only take you so far.
Are you absolutely clear with the topics that you've listed, namely:
- S-V Pairs
- Parallelism
- Pronoun
- Modifier
- Tenses
- Idioms
How have you been preparing and what have been your mock scores?

Might be helpful to be a bit flexible and not beholden to one method
and ultimately I don't exactly get to know what is what part of grammar that I need to strengthen (seriously I never went into the depth of grammar) ..
