SAT ? of the Day

The following sentence contains either a single error or no error at all. If the sentence contains an error, select the one underlined part that must be changed to make the sentence correct. If the sentence contains no error, select choice E.

Many types of dance music and jazz	call for
	A

special instruments,	which includes	the hi-hat,
	B

a pair of cymbals	operated by	a foot pedal;
	C

a cowbell struck with a wooden-tipped drumstick;

and wire brushes	used on both	drums and

cymbals to produce a swishing sound.	No error
	E

1. (A)


2. (B)


3. (C)


4. (D)


5. (E)

The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is an inappropriate verb form. The singular “includes” does not agree with the plural “instruments.” This problem can be fixed by using “which include” or simply “including.”
