Answer to Question 96

The correct choice will include to assure, an infinitive parallel to to

prevent. Thus, A, B, and C are disqualified.

Moreover, the participial phrases in A and C (assuring... ), easily construed

as adjectives modifying latches, are confusing. Choices B and C are additionally

faulty because, in omitting the noun doors, they fail both to specify what is

being closed and to supply an antecedent for the pronoun them. D offers the

necessary infinitive, but the gerund phrase closing ... imprecisely refers to

the act of closing the doors rather than to the condition of the closed doors.

Choice E, with its idiomatic and precise noun clause, is the best answer.

Answer to Question 97

All nouns and pronouns grammatically referring back to the plural noun

Iguanas must be plural. Choices A, B, D,and E all produce agreement problems by

using singular forms (it, animal), leaving C the best choice. In addition, D is

awkward and wordy, and E offers a participial phrase (being ...) where the

beginning of an independent clause is required.

Answer to Question 98

Choice D, the best answer, produces a clear sentence in which parallel

structure (two clauses introduced by that) underscores meaning: the crash

demonstrated [1] that markets are integrated and [2] that events may be

transmitted. The other choices lack this parallel structure and contain

additional faults. The phrases more...than never in A and more ... as never in C

are both unidiomatic: the idiom is more than ever. Choices B, C,and E end with

so, while, and as, respectively: and that is needed so that two parallel clauses

may be properly joined. Finally, B and E misplace the adverb more, which here

should come just before closely: closer, not more frequent, integration of the

world's capital markets is what facilitates the transmission of economic

events.

Answer to Question 99

The word splitting must function as a noun to parallel the other items in the

noun series of which it is part: reversals, onset, and eruptions. In B, the best

choice, the definite article the clearly signifies that splitting is to be taken

as a noun. In A, splitting introduces a verb phrase that breaks the parallelism

of the noun series. In C, the verb split is similarly disruptive. Choice D,

grammatically vague, resembles C if split is a verb and E if split is an

adjective. In E, continents illogically replaces the splitting in the series:

although the impacts in question may have caused continents to split, they did

not cause those continents that were split apart 80 million years ago to

materialize.

Answer to Question 100

Choice C is the best answer. Either of the following constructions would be

idiomatic here: x forbids y to do z or x prohibits y from doing z. Choices A and

B violate idiom; \ D and E introduce constructions that, in context, are faulty.

First of all, both bans that x cannot be done and bans that y cannot do x are

unidiomatic formulations. Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is

illogical.
