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.
