What is grammar in SAT? Which are the examples?
Is this an SAT question? I was unable to choose between answers A and C, so I wonder what is wrong with answer C?
Why can’t “which” be used, though it also creates a dependent clause?
What is the best way to describe a song using a sentence?
“They wanted X which were placed high” is a tense problem, not a “which” problem. It swaps from “future in the past” (they wanted X) to past “which were placed” (which were the whole world put).
What would be the correct option if “they wanted X placed high”, “they wanted X to be placed high”, “they wanted X, which were to be placed high”, or “they wanted X, which would be placed high”.
Edit: Similarly, A) is wrong because “placing” is present tense and doesn’t match “they wanted”, which is past tense, and requires the “to place” tense to either be past or “future in the past”.
