Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.Firefighters and police officers risk their lives often by stepping into the way of danger physically; therefore, professionals such as doctors and lawyers have an equally significant impact on individuals’ lives medically and legally. Therefore, but nevertheless as a result and Firefighters and police officers risk their lives often by stepping into the way of danger physically; therefore, professionals such as doctors and lawyers have an equally significant impact on individuals’ lives medically and legally.
Answer(s): C
The first clause (everything before the semi colon) definitely does not cause what is explained in the second clause (everything after the semi colon), so “therefore” is an inappropriate transition. This sentence is presenting contrasting professions (firefighter/police officer and doctor/lawyer) since two are viewed as blue- collar (working class) and the others are white-collar (professional); therefore, a contrasting conjunction is needed. Choice “therefore”, choice “as a result” and choice “and” do not present contrasting conjunctions. In this sentence “but” is not your best option for a conjunction. A semi-colon is used, so the three simple conjunctions (and/but/yet/etc.) are not as appropriate as the complex conjunctions (therefore/however/ nevertheless/etc.). If just a comma was used, then “but” would have been appropriate (i.e. “...into the way of danger physically, but professionals such as doctors...”). So now it’s down to “nevertheless.” Choice “nevertheless” is the best answer.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.In many cultures, they consider fish eggs a delicacy.
Answer(s): B
“In many cultures they consider fish eggs a delicacy” is tempting, but the pronoun “they” is vague. “They consider fish eggs to be a delicacy in many cultures” has the same vague pronoun problem. “In many cultures a delicacy is considered to be fish eggs” is just weird all over. “Fish eggs, a delicacy in many cultures” is a fragment.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.Sports are a significant part of life for people all across the world, as was demonstrated in 2006 when billions of people came together to be involved with the World Cup either through playing, watching or thru advertising.
Answer(s): D
This sentence tests your knowledge of capitalization and awareness of parallelism. The original sentence is incorrect because choice “World Cup either through playing, watching or thru advertising” destroys the parallelism (i.e. thru advertising instead of simply “advertising”) and uses the informal spelling of through (i.e. “thru”). Only choices “World Cup either through playing, watching or advertising” and “World Cup either through playing, watching or advertising for it” correct the parallelism error; however, the list should strictly contain gerunds in order to be parallel, so “advertising for it” is not the best choice. By ending with “for it” the author is also implying that one may “play for it” and “watch for it,” and although one may play for the World Cup through a grammar stretch, one cannot possibly “watch for it” and do the same thing as one who simply “watches it.” Choice “World Cup either through playing, watching or advertising” uses the appropriate capitalization (because the World Cup is a major sports event it is a proper noun that must be capitalized) and maintains strict parallelism in the concluding list of ways to be involved.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.The argument between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued until the early morning.
Answer(s): A
“between Paarin and I about the dent in his car continued”, “about the dent in his car continued for Paarin and I”, and “between Paarin and I on the dent in his car continued” all have pronoun case errors: when the pronoun is the object of a preposition like “between,” you need to use the objective case. “on the dent in his car between Paarin and me continued” is awkward, especially in its misused idiom: “argument on.”
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.During the summer, many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity.
Only choice “summer many students go away to camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity” corrects the redundancy error in this sentence of writing “...summer camps...” after already stating that this event occurs “During the summer...” Choice “summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity”, “Summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity” and “summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and maintaining integrity” suffer such redundancy. Choice “summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and maintaining integrity” also breaks the list’s parallelism (values such as camaraderie and perseverance that should be followed simply by “integrity”).
