if there is a error on a test do we have to correct it?(1 vote)
As this is the SAT, which is looked over by a team of experienced test-makers, and given to millions of people, you can probably safely assume that there will not be an error on the test, and that if there is, you won't be held responsible for missing a question because of it.
In many writing questions, however, the question is about an error in the passage that you have to fix somehow. If you were talking about these, then yes you do have to fix them to get the question correct.(14 votes)
What's so important about the relationship?(5 votes)- The relationship shows the cause and effect, reason and judgement and tests your attention to detail as it is visibly intertwined in the passage in a rather "invisible" manner. In other words, they are testing your time management skills to see details under pressure.(3 votes)
Unsupported claims, I don't really understand that section?(1 vote)- This section describes a type of wrong answer choice that you may encounter on these types of questions. Answers that are unsupported claims will sound logical, but they will make an assumption that you don't find in the text, or be a flat-out contradiction of what the passage says. If you make sure to always find your answers based only off of the text, so much so that for every answer you can point to a quote on the passage and say that that's where you got it from, then these answer choices shouldn't trip you up too much.(5 votes)
