Nouns Are (Almost) Never Wrong (SAT Writing)

Nouns that are underlined on the Error-ID section are almost never wrong and can usually be eliminated automatically.

There are only two errors that violate this rule, and it is exceedingly rare for either to appear more than once per section:

1) Noun Agreement

Inspired by their uncle, a prize-winner physicist, John and Alexa are studying to become a scientist (scientists).

2) Faulty Comparison

Though they were frequently performed in the eighteenth century, the operas of Antonio Salieri, unlike Mozart (unlike those of Mozart), are largely unknown to contemporary audiences.

In the absence of one of these errors, you can assume that any underlined noun is correct.
