Answer to Question 26

Choice B is the best answer. The sentence compares one thing, an adverse

change in climate, to all other

things in its class-- that is, to all the possible disasters that threaten

American agriculture, therefore, the

sentence requires the superlative form of the adjective, most difficult,

rather than the comparative form, more

difficult, which appears in choices A and D. In A and C, the use of maybe is

unidiomatic, and difficult should be

completed by the infinitive to analyze. Choice E is awkwardly phrased and,

when inserted into the sentence,

produces an illogical structure: the possibility ... is... the analysis

that.

Answer to Question 27

Choices A and B present dangling modifiers that illogically suggest that Owen

and Randolph, rather than the

Messenger, were published in Harlem. In D, the phrase and published in Harlem

is too remote from the

Messenger to modify it effectively. In E, being produces an awkward

construction, and the placement of the

main clause at the end of the sentence is confusing. Only in C, the best

answer, is Published in Harlem

followed immediately by the Messenger. Also, C makes it clear that the clause

beginning who refers to

Randolph.

Answer to Question 28

In choices A and B, the verb suggest does not agree with its singular

subject, rise. In context, the phrase into

the coming months in A and D is not idiomatic; in the coming months is

preferable. In A, C, and D, the that

appearing after but creates a subordinate clause where an independent clause

is needed for the new subject,

mixed performance. Choice E includes the correct verb form, suggests,

eliminates that, and properly employs

the future tense, will continue to expand. That this tense is called for is

indicated both by the future time to

which the coming months refers and by the parallel verb form will proceed in

the nonunderlined part of the sentence. Choice E is best.

Answer to Question 29

Choice A is best. The other choices are unidiomatic or unnecessarily wordy,

and the pronoun they, which

appears in B, C, and E, has no grammatical referent.

Answer to Question 30

Besides being wordy, the clauses beginning What was in A and The thing that

was in B cause inconsistencies

in verb tense: the use of the new technology cannot logically be described by

both the present perfect has

been and the past was. In B and D, developing the compact disc is not

parallel to the use of new

technology to revitalize ... performances; in C, the best answer, the noun

development is parallel to use.

The phrases none the less ... than in D and no less... as in E are

unidiomatic; the correct form of expression,

no less ... than, appears in C, the best choice.

Answer to Question 26

Choice B is the best answer. The sentence compares one thing, an adverse

change in climate, to all other

things in its class-- that is, to all the possible disasters that threaten
