Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.A consummate gentleman, Stefan's etiquette and social grace was unmatched.
Answer(s): D
“Stefan's etiquette and social grace was unmatched”, “Stefan's etiquette and social grace were unmatched”, “Stefan's etiquette as well as his social grace were unmatched”, and “Stefan's social grace was matched only by his etiquette” are all dangling modifiers. Choice “Stefan's etiquette and social grace was unmatched” has a verb agreement problem, too.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.In countries such as China the government is recognizing the advantages of a capitalist market rather than communism and adjust economic policy accordingly.
The problem with this sentence is in parallel structure. The test is very particular about being consistent about the forms of words used. So specifically since the sentence refers to a capitalist market, then the sentence must refer to a communist market — not communism, which is an ideology rather than a market system in this context. Only choices “capitalist market rather than Communism and adjust”, “capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting” and “Capitalistic market nor a Communist market and adjusting” remain. Choice “Capitalistic market nor a Communist market and adjusting” commits terrible capitalization (neither “capitalist” nor “communist”) mistakes and structure errors (where does the “nor” fit in? It does not.) Only choice “capitalist market rather than Communism and adjust” and choice “capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting” remain now, but “capitalist market rather than Communism and adjust” mistakenly capitalizes communism and does not change “adjust” to match the parallel verb (i.e. recognizing). Choice “capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting” uses the right adjective forms of capitalism and communism, does not make capitalization errors and maintains parallel sentence structure.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.Most of my favorite movies contain slapstick humor, however physical comedy is not the only way to make me laugh.
Answer(s): B
“slapstick humor, however physical comedy is not” is a run-on: “however” is NOT a conjunction. “slapstick humor, and physical comedy is not” and “slapstick humor; physical comedy is not” are missing contrast. “slapstick humor, but it is not physical comedy that is” is not at all concise.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.Learning a new language can be difficult for people after one reaches a certain age; abilities needed to retain and apply new linguistic information deteriorate with time.
The underlined portion of this sentence is wrong because the sentence refers to people in general. Because a plural third person form of a pronoun is needed (because of the reference to “people”), “one” ,“it”, and “you” are all inappropriate responses. Choice “after one reaches a certain age”, “after it reaches a certain age” and “after you reach a certain age” are all incorrect. Choice “after they reach a certain age” is better than choice “after they reaches certain ages” because of the implied logic. People can reach a defined age; it is odd to say that multiple people are simultaneously reaching multiple ages — what is certain then? It’s almost an oxymoron to say certain ages in this context, although it is perfectly fine in other situations (i.e. This board game is only for people of certain ages). Yet the more defining difference is the singular verb form of choice “after they reaches certain ages” (i.e. reaches) mistakenly in place of the plural verb form of choice “after they reach a certain age” (i.e. reach).
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.A growing technology trend is to merge multiple devices with complimentary functions such as a phone, music player and the scheduling features of a planner.
Answer(s): E
It is informative to include the details about a planner's features, it should be accompanied by the features of a phone and a music player if that is the way the sentence is being written. Therefore, choices “the scheduling features of a planner”, “and a planner with scheduling features”, “and scheduling features” and “scheduling features” are incorrect. Choice “and a planner with scheduling features” and “and scheduling features” even add “and” again making the sentence read “...music player and and...” which is clearly wrong. Be careful; the test wants to catch you off guard. Only choice “a planner” is direct and maintains parallelism.
