Error ID: Be Skeptical of Prepositions Underlined Alone

	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.    Between 1508  to  1512, Michelangelo,  working on  a    A     B      scaffold 60 feet above the floor, painted the     vaulted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome      with hundreds of  giant figures  that represented   C     D      his vision of the world’s creation.  No error     E    A.     (A) B.     (B) C.     (C) D.     (D) E.     (E)

 

 

C isn't ideal. But you can't fix it without changing a portion that is NOT underlined.

If something doesn't seem right, see if you could change it by fixing only words that are underlined.

If the only way to fix it is to rework other non-underlined portions of the sentence, then it's not the right answer.

Answer A can be fixed merely by changing the word to "and."

Another tip: Be really skeptical when a preposition is underlined by itself.
