Standardized testing is ridiculous.
So is this website. 😂
But it might actually help. 🎉
🍔"Delcious and juicy, ___________ the number one best seller."
(Scroll down below below for explanation)
Once upon a time, I took the PSAT and got a horrible score. I realized I was up a river of crud -- no one was coming to save me. I fixed things: just learn the grammar rules and apply them.
It’s faster than doing a million practice problems and probably more entertaining. So, save yourself some time and a river of crud.
Here, have a cookie. Think about what fun stuff you want to do when this is over.

Now let's review that practice example...
The Hamburger Rule 🍔
What's up with this sentence?
As a reminder, the sentence is:
🎉 🍔 Delicious and juicy, _____ the number one best seller.
----------------------------------------------------
The fancy pants term for this grammar rule the test is testing for in this sentence called a misplaced modifier (who cares). Instead, just look for a few describing words and a comma to alert you that this is the grammar rule being tested. For example:
Ex 1: Pretty and pink, the kitty..
Ex 2: Fluffy and warm, the poodle…
Ex 3: Fuzzy and floofiest, the sheep…
As soon as you see this trend, ask yourself if the word after the comma is the description.
Let's take a look at some potential answers...
As a reminder, the sentence is:
Delicious and juicy, _____ was the number one best seller.
Was here or she delicious and juicy...maybe?
Was the hamburger delicious and juicy?
Definitely.
The answer is C, the hamburger. 🎉 🎉
