Rule of thumb, trust yourself. If you have taken our course, we study grammar rules and learn to recognize style errors so you have your A game on. By the time students take the ACT, they should have a good idea of what is and isn’t correct. If a sentence doesn’t “sound right” you are probably right that something is wrong with the sentence. Don’t worry about the why just be able to identify the best choice.
