Answer to Question 31

Choice D is best. Choice A illogically compares skills to a disinclination; choice B compares skills to many

people. Choice C makes the comparison logical by casting analytical skills as the subject of the sentence, but

it is awkward and unidiomatic to say skills bring out a disinclination. Also in C, the referent of they is unclear,

and weak to a degree changes the meaning of the original statement. In E, have a disinclination... while

willing is grammatically incomplete, and admit their lack should be admit to their lack. By making people the

subject of the sentence, D best expresses the intended contrast, which pertains not so much to skills as to

people's willingness to recognize different areas of weakness.

Answer to Question 32

Choice B is best. Choices A and C illogically state that some buildings were both destroyed and damaged; or is

needed to indicate that each of the buildings suffered either one fate or the other. In using only one verb tense,

were, A fails to indicate that the buildings were constructed before the earthquake occurred. Choices C and D

use the present perfect tense incorrectly, saying in effect that the buildings have been constructed after they

were destroyed last year. Choice E suggests that the construction of the buildings, rather than the earthquake,

occurred last year, thus making the sequence of events unclear. Only B uses verb tenses correctly to indicate

that construction of the buildings was completed prior to the earthquake.

Answer to Question 33

Choice A is best. The activities listed are presented as parallel ideas and should thus be expressed in grammatically parallel structures. Choice A correctly uses the simple past tense defined to parallel organized and provided. Choice A also correctly joins the last two parallel phrases with and and clearly expresses the relationship of rights and obligations to resources. Choice C preserves parallelism but is wordy, and its has no logical referent. Choices B, D, and Eeach replace the verb phrase with a subordinate modifier, violating parallelism and making the statementsungrammatical. Furthermore, it is unclear what defining ... consumption in B is intended to modify; in D,whose incorrectly attributes rights and obligations to resources', and E presents rights and obligations as defining, rather than as being defined.

Answer to Question 34

Choices A, B, and C are flawed because the countable noun dioxins should be modified by many rather thanmuch, which is used with uncountable nouns such as "work" and "happiness." In addition, both A and Cincorrectly use the singular verb comes with the plural noun dioxins. Choices C and D are needlessly wordy,and D requires that before North Americans, to be grammatically complete. Choice E, the best answer, is bothgrammatically correct and concise.

Answer to Question 35

A comma is needed after Rhone in choices A and D to set off the modifying phrase that begins Vincent...;

without the comma, the phrase appears to be part of the main clause, and it is thus unclear what noun should govern the verb sold. Furthermore, it in A has no logical referent, and being in D is not idiomatic. Choices B andE produce the illogical statement that the painting was the second highest price. Choice C, the best answer,

avoids this problem by using a noun phrase in which price clearly refers to $20.2 million. And by using a comma after Rhone to set off the phrase that modifies The Bridge of Trinquetaille, C makes the painting the subject of was sold.
