The Sentence Correction section tests your knowledge of written English grammar by asking you which of the five choices best expresses an idea or relationship. This section gives you a sentence that may or may not contain errors of grammar or usage. You must select either the answer that best corrects the sentence or the answer stating that the sentence is correct as is. The questions will require you to be familiar with the stylistic conventions and grammatical rules of standard written English and to demonstrate your ability to improve incorrect or ineffective expressions. This section tests two broad aspects of language proficiency Correct expression Effective expression Proper Diction A correct sentence is grammatically correct and structurally soun It conforms to all the rules of standard written English such as subject-verb agreement verb tense consistency modifier reference and position idiomatic expressions and parallel construction. In addition to being correct a sentence needs to be effective. It should express an idea or relationship clearly and concisely as well as grammatically. A best choice should have no superfluous words or unnecessarily complicated expressions. This does not mean that the shortest choice is always the best answer. Proper diction is another important part of effectiveness. It refers to the standard dictionary meanings of words and the appropriateness of words in context. In evaluating the diction of a sentence you must be able to recognize whether the words are well-selected correctly presented and suitable for the context. One common error that test takers often make in the Sentence Correction section is choosing an answer that sounds good.
