In fact, the correct answer to a question is not necessarily one that has changed anything at all. All Usage/Mechanics questions and some Rhetorical Skills questions offer you “NO CHANGE” as an answer choice. Do not overlook “NO CHANGE” as a possible answer to the problem. It is correct approximately 20 percent of the time it’s offered.
