Answer: The problem that is illustrated by the sentence provided is "grammatically incorrect".
Explanation: The sentence "I joined the others by the fire however they were about to go to bed" is grammatically incorrect because it contains punctuation mistakes. The sentence provided includes a connector ("however") that is joining two independent clauses<u>. Punctuation rules state that a semicolon must always be added before "however" and that a comma must always come after it</u>. In that way, <u>as the sentence provided does not include a semicolon nor a comma, the sentence is grammatically incorrect.</u> The correct way of writing it is: "I joined the others by the fire; however, they were about to go to bed".

I always get "The Primary Purpose of this passage is to?" wrong on Reading Comp. I'm guessing this is hurting my score as it seems like a simple questions and I always get it wrong.
Any idea on how to nail this??? I started taking notes during the section and it helps. I know what the passage is about, but trying to stick it into one of those GMAT choices is difficult. Suggestions?

Main Idea/Primary Purpose Questions:
Many people believe there is no difference between the main or central idea of the passage and the primary purpose of the author of the passage. This is simply not true. Let's take a look at the subtle but important difference between them:
Main Idea
The question might look something like this:
"Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following most accurately states the main idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?"
"The main topic of the passage is...."
Primary Purpose
The question might look like this:
"The primary purpose of this passage is to..."
"The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to..."
"The primary focus of this passage is on which of the following?"
"The main concern of the passage is to..."
"In the passage, the author is primarily interested in...."
"The passage is chiefly concerned with..."
