Awkward sentences..

by pinktoadette » Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:43 pm
Hello.
I seem to have a problem. 70% of the time, I picked the awkward sentence. The explanation is simply awkward sentence and other choices have detailed explanation. I guess I don't know how to find awkwardness in a sentence? Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to be awkward anymore... :(

Many thanks!!!

Yes. I do not know how to realize awkward sentence.

the best way is to remember specific cases.

for example, "of noun of noun" is awkward because "of" is used 2 times. I do not remember other cases

However,gmat want to have a grammatical sentence before a beautiful sentence. So,we check for grammar error before check for meaning logic and style. That means gmat accept an award sentence not a ungrammatical sentence if there are only these sentences left. gmat will accept beautiful sentence not award sentence if these sentences exist.

ok, remember specific cases and check grammar first.
