The Official SAT Question of the Day™

The following sentence contains either a single error or no error at all. If the sentence contains an error, select the one bold part that must be changed to make the sentence correct. If the sentence contains no error, select choice E.

Whereas(A) their friend Sean, who often behaved as if(B) he had only one day left to live, Rob and Darrin rarely(C) acted without first considering(D) the consequences. No error(E)


A. (A)
B. (B)
C. (C)
D. (D)
E. (E)

Answer is A

Here's Why:

The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where inappropriate word choice creates a sentence fragment (the sentence has no main verb). To fix this problem, “Unlike” should be used in place of “Whereas.”
