Answer to Question 66

Choice A is best. In B, both must come before acknowledgment if it is to link

acknowledgment and effort; as

misplaced here, it creates the unfulfilled expectation that the reduction of

interest rates will be an acknowledgment

of two different things. Moreover, both... as well as ... is redundant: the

correct idiom is both x and y. In C, the plural

verbs acknowledge and attempt do not agree with their singular subject,

reduction; also, it is imprecise to

characterize a reduction as performing actions such as acknowledging or

attempting. In both D and E, the use of the

participle reducing rather than the noun reduction is awkward. Like B, D

misplaces both, while E repeats both the redundancy of B and the agreement error

of C.

Answer to Question 67

Choices A, C, and E are ungrammatical because, in this context, requiring ...

employers must be followed by an infinitive. These options display additional

faults: in A, so as to fails to specify that the workers receiving the leave

will be the people caring for the infants and children; in order that they, as

used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic; and E says that the bill being debated

would require the employers themselves to care for the children. Choice B offers

the correct infinitive, to provide, but contains the faulty so as to. Choice D

is best.

Answer to Question 68

In choice A, the construction from hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides ... react

is ungrammatical. In B, the best choice, the conjunction when replaces the

preposition/row, producing a grammatical and logical statement. In choice C, the

use of the conjunction and results in the illogical assertion that the formation

of ozone in the atmosphere happens in addition to, rather than as a result of,

its formation when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide react with sunlight. Choice D

omits the main verb, is, leaving a sentence fragment. E compounds the error of D

with that of A.

Answer to Question 69

Choices A, B, and D are unidiomatic. Choice C is awkward and wordy;

furthermore, the phrase at the time of her being adolescent suggests that

Willard's adolescence lasted only for a brief, finite moment rather than for an

extended period of time. Choice E, idiomatic and precise, is the best

answer.

Answer to Question 70

Choice A is best. Choice B lacks the necessary infinitive after likely. In B

and C, disadvantaged, which often means "hampered by substandard economic and

social conditions," is less precise than at a disadvantage. In C and D,cannot

often carry out suggests that a President with limited time suffers only from an

inability to achieve legislative goals frequently, not from a frequent inability

to achieve them at all. In C, liable, followed by an infinitive, can

legitimately be used to express probability with a bad outcome, but C is

otherwise flawed as noted. D's liable and E's unable should be followed by an

infinitive rather than by a relative clause beginning with that.
