Answer to Question 16

Choice E, the best answer, correctly uses a parallel construction to draw a

logical comparison: Unlike a typical automobile loan,... a lease-loan.... Choice

A illogically compares an automobile loan, an inanimate thing, with a lease-loan

buyer, a person. In choice C, buyers makes the comparison inconsistent in number

as well as illogical. Choices B and D are syntactically and logically flawed

because each attempts to compare the noun loan and a prepositional phrase: with

lease-loan buying in B and/or the lease-loan buyer in D. Choices B and D are

also imprecise and awkward. Finally, choice E is the only option that supplies

an active verb form, does not require, to parallel requires.

Answer to Question 17

Choice A is best because it correctly uses the simple past tense, the

residents... at that time were, and because it is the most concise. In B and D,

the replacement of were with the past perfect had been needlessly changes the

original meaning by suggesting that the Native Americans had previously ceased

to be part of the widespread culture. All of the choices but A are wordy, and in

C, D, and E the word people redundantly describes the residents rather than the

larger group to which the residents belonged. These choices are also imprecise

because they state that the culture, rather than people, spoke the Algonquian

language. Choice E displays inconsistent tenses and an error of pronoun

reference, people which.

Answer to Question 18

Each choice but C contains errors of agreement. In both A and E, the singular

subject (each in A, every one in E) does not agree with the plural verb were,

while in D, the plural subject women is mismatched with the singular verb was.

In B, the subject and verb agree, but the descriptive phrase placed between them

creates an illogical statement because each cannot be wives; each can be one of

the wives, or a wife. The pronoun constructions in A, B, D, and E are wordy;

also, B, D, and E are very awkwardly structured and do not convey the point

about Hemingway's wives clearly. Choice C correctly links wives with were,

eliminates the unnecessary pronouns, and provides a clearer structure.

Answer to Question 19

In this sentence, the initial clause modifies the nearest noun, identifying

it as the thing being compared with wheat. By making protein the noun modified,

choices A, C, and D illogically compare wheat with protein and claim that the

protein in rice has more protein than wheat does. In C and D, the comparative

structure higher in quality than it is in wheat absurdly suggests that rice

protein contains wheat. B, the best choice, logically compares wheat to rice by

placing the noun rice immediately after the initial clause. B also uses that to

refer to protein in making the comparison between the proteins of rice and

wheat. Choice E needs either that in or does after wheat to make a complete and

logical comparison.

Answer to Question 20

Choice A is best. The construction so abundant has capital been... that

correctly and clearly expresses the relationship between the abundance and the

investors' response. In choice B, the repetition of so is illogical and

unidiomatic. Choices C, D, and E alter somewhat the intended meaning of the

sentence; because of its position in these statements, such functions to mean

"of a kind" rather than to intensify abundant. Choice D awkwardly separates has

and been, and the omission of that from C and E makes those choices

ungrammatical.
