hi can someone please help me identify whats wrong with this sentence, if any: Last summer, when Mary's aunt and uncle flew from Turkey to visit their relatives and tour the United States, Mary invited Sandhya and I to her house to meet them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You just need a comma here... ... "to visit their relatives, and tour the..."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the original sentence does not have comma :-(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You asked what was wrong with the sentence. Obviously the original is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and its not identified as possible wrong place(part of SAT sample test)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There needs to be a comma there. I don’t understand what you are asking. If you don’t want to know what’s wrong, what do you want to know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 5 choices given are: A. flew from, B. and tour, C. I, D. to meet , E. No error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

E no error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D None of the above. There needs to be a comma. I stand by that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, I have two answers, apparently I need a 4th opinion here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw, adding a comma is not an option here :-(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, I meant F, none of the above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I is wrong. Mary invited Sandhya and me
