because the parts they indicate contain standard sentences.
370. c. This choice supplies the third person singular verb, shows, which agrees in number and
person with the subject, One completed NASA study. The second study mentioned in the
sentence may be mistaken for a part of the subject, which would make it compound and
plural; however, the second study is enclosed by commas, thus making it a parenthetical
expression and not a part of the subject. Choice a is incorrect because it introduces an error in
pronoun/antecedent agreement between problems and it. Choice b is incorrect because it
removes a hyphen necessary to the creation of compound adjectives. Choice d is incorrect
because it creates an error in pronoun/antecedent agreement between scientists and they.
371. b. The topic of the paragraph is the definition of admissible and inadmissible hearsay
evidence. Part 4 introduces material about how trial lawyers prove their cases, which is off
the topic.
372. c. This choice removes the comma between the subject hearsay and the verb is. Choices a,
b, and d are all incorrect because they remove commas that are necessary.

comparison. The phrase someone . . . may feel more tiredis an incomplete comparison
because it does not state what people feel more tired than. Choices a, c, and d are incorrect
because these parts do not contain incomplete or faulty comparisons.

375. d. This question calls on the ability to identify standard usage of the possessive. Choice d is
correct because the word researchers is actually a possessive noun, and so an apostrophe
must be added. Choices a and c are incorrect because they substitute misused homonyms for
the words given. Choice b is incorrect because it contains a faulty pronoun/antecedent the
microprobes have a diminutive width, not the brain.
376. b. In Part 4, the adverb typically is misused as an adjective to modify the noun wire. The
other choices do not contain nonstandard uses of modifiers.
377. c. The phrases since they [microprobes] are slightly thinner than a human hair and because
of their [microprobes'] diminutive width contain the same information.
378. b. The predicate does not match the subject grammatically, which is necessary when using
the verb is: A passenger-created disturbance doesn't match by playing . . . or creating.
379. c. This choice makes use of parallel structure because the list of the drivers' obligations are
all expressed in the same subject/verb grammatical form: Bus drivers will wait, will allow,
will not allow. In choices a, b, and d, the parallelism of the list is thrown off by the last item
in the list, which changes the subject of its verb from operators to passengers.
380. b. Part 6 contains a nonstandard use of a preposition; in this case it is the unidiomatic use of
the preposition to with the verb comply. The standard idiom is comply with rather than to
comply to. Choices a, c, and d do not contain nonstandard uses of prepositions.

d are incorrect because they indicate standard sentences.
382. c. The main purpose of this paragraph is strictly informational, to outline the President's
proposals for improving education in the U.S., and choice c focuses the reader's attention on
the list of proposals. Choice a contains information that contradicts the material in the
passage, for it states a limitation of the proposals. Choice b essentially gives information
about what specific effect the proposals might have, which is out of place in a paragraph that
is only aimed at listing the proposals. Choice d makes an argumentative claim about the
necessity for certain of the proposals, which is again out of place in a paragraph that seeks
only to list the proposals.
383. b. The subject pronoun they is used erroneously in Part 2 as a direct object of the verb. The
reflexive pronoun themselves, which may be used as a direct object, is a better choice.
384. d. In Part 3, the relative pronoun that is necessary to properly subordinate the clause
''programs that meet this rising demand'' to the main clause. Retaining the word than would
introduce a faulty comparison into the sentence. Choice a is incorrect because the comma it
seeks to remove is necessary to indicate the restrictive nature of the adjective more. Choice

possessive pronoun their is required.
385. b. Part 6 contains a run-on sentence. Choices a, c, and d are incorrect because they all
contain standard sentences.
SET 29 (Page 87)
386. a. The semicolon in Part 1 must be followed by an independent clause, and here it is
followed by a dependent clause. Choices b, c, and d are incorrect because they all contain
standard sentences.
387. b. The underlined word in Part 2 needs to be made into a possessive noun. Choice c is
incorrect because it uses a plural possessive where a singular possessive is required. Choices
a and d are incorrect because they insert an adjective where a possessive noun is needed.
388. c. End quotation marks must be inserted before the tag phrase, Riley said. Choice a is
incorrect because the quotation marks are necessary to begin the quotation again after the tag
phrase. Choice b is incorrect because it creates a comma fault. Choice d is incorrect because
it introduces an unidiomatic usage of a preposition.
389. d. The expression a lot should be replaced because it is imprecise and because its
conversational tone is out of keeping with the exactness in diction of the paragraph. Choices
a, b, and c are word choices that have precise meanings and match the formal tone of the
paragraph.
390. d. Part 2 acts as a topic sentence for the paragraph of quotation that follows it. In other
words, combining the second and third paragraph is in order because they are on the same
topic, and the combining makes the subject of the third paragraph clearer to a reader. Choice
a would actually muddy the meaning of the last three sentences, since it would reverse the
order of Parts 6 and 7, when Part 7 logically follows from Part 6. Choice b is incorrect
because it would edit out information that is important to the understanding of Part 7. Choice
c is incorrect because it does not make sense to combine these two sentences as they are on
different topics.
391. c. The first paragraph mentions that saving room for herbs such as lavender, sage, thyme,
