Step One: Read the Original Sentence Carefully
As you do so, ask yourself:
• Does it sound odd or wrong to my ear?
• Do any errors in grammar jump out at me?
• Is the sentence confusing, and would I have to read it again to try to figure out what it means?
If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you can confidently eliminate choice (A), the original underlined part, even if you’re not sure why it’s wrong.
Step Two: Plug in Your Remaining Choices
Plug your remaining choices, one at a time, into the original sentence, and read the entire revised sentence. As you do so, ask yourself the same three questions as in Step 1, and eliminate any choice for which your answer to any of those questions is “yes.”
Step Three: If You’re Still Not Sure, Compare the Remaining Choices
If you still haven’t narrowed the choices down to a clear winner, compare the remaining candidates. Resolve close judgment calls in favor of:
• A briefer, more concise version
• A version that more accurately conveys the intended meaning of the sentence
• A less awkward version
Step Four: Verify Your Selection Before Confirming Your Response
Check your selection one more time by plugging it into the sentence. If it sounds right, confirm your response, and move on.
