Starting Sentences With Because
Have you ever been taught the rule, “Never start a sentence with because?”

Note: This question is based on Old SAT Grammar questions, but the rule still applies to the New SAT and ACT, so you should try it regardless of the test you’re taking. Choose the choice below that best fixes the error in the original sentence; if the sentence contains no error, choose choice A (NO CHANGE).
