OG12-8 Logical predication; Verb form

The sentence describes the central tenet of a theory about how the universe began. The focus of the

second clause should be consistently on the subject the universe, and all verbs in the clause beginning

with that must describe what the universe did at the initial explosive moment.

A. Correct. Both verbs in the second clause correctly take universe as their subject.

B. Had begun is the wrong tense because it describes action that occurred farther in the past than some

other, specifi ed past action.

C. The relative clause that has expanded describes instant, which makes no sense.

D. The beginning of the universe to have been is unnecessarily indirect and wordy; illogically suggests

that beginning is expanding, not the universe.

E. The verb phrases to have begun and has been expanding both reference the same subject of the

clause, universe, and therefore need to be parallel.

The verbs areand callsindicate that the sculpture is being viewed and judged in the present. Thus,

neither the past tense verb constituted(in B) nor the present perfect verb have constituted(in C) is

correct; both suggest that the statues features once constituted an artificial facebut no longer do

so. Also, B would be better if thatwere inserted after so unrealistic,although the omission of thatis

not ungrammatical. Choices D and E use unidiomatic constructions with enough: unrealistic

enough to constitutewould be idiomatic, but the use of enoughis imprecise and awkward in this

warriors against enemy arrows and spears.

A. a method to protect

B. as a method protectingC. protecting

D. as a protection of

E. to protect

OG10-39 C Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did.

Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word methodto refer to items of military equipmentrather than to

the use of such items. Also, a method of protectingwould be more idiomatic than a method to protectin A or a

method protecting in B. In B and D, as is incorrect; also, a protection in D has no noun for which it can

logically substitute. Choice E is incomplete; used to protect would have been acceptable.

OG11-24 C E Logical predication + rhetorical construction

The underlined part of the sentence begins a phrase describing items of military equipment. It is awkward

and inaccurate to describe items as a method. Replacing the underlined phrase with the participle protecting

creates a modifying phrase that clearly explains the purpose of the items of military equipment.

A A method to protect is an awkward reference to items

B The singular a method should not refer to the plural items, as a method protecting is not idiomatic

C Correct. In this sentence, protecting properly introduces a modifying phrase revealing the purpose

of the items.

D Beginning the phrase with as is incorrect; using the noun form protection creates wordiness

E The infinitive to protect cannot act as an adjective modifying items; the participial form of the

verb, protecting, is required

The correct answer is C.

This sentence compares the success J experienced after moving to New York to the success she had

previously experienced in Germany. The phrase less successful anticipates the conclusion of the

comparison with the phrasethan . The main subject of the sentence is photographer LJ , and the main

verb isearned . The opening clause She was less successful. Therefore creates a comma splice if thecomma is not followed by a conjunction. The most efficient way to incorporate the information about Js

comparative successes in Germany and in New York is to turn the clause into an adjectival phase

describing J. (FROM OG12)

ALess successful anticipates than rather than compared to ; a comma is insufficient to join two

independent clauses into a single sentence.

BAs compare to is an incorrect way to complete the comparison introduced by less; being is

unnecessarily wordy and awkward.

CCorrect.DWhen compared tois an incorrect phrase to complete the comparison introduced by less.

EA comma is insufficient to join two independent clauses into a single sentence; past-perfect tense is

OG12-11 The purpose of the sentence is to describe the historically most popular method of building walls. The first

clause announces this topic and the second clause describes the particular method. The clearest, most

efficient way to accomplish these two pieces of business is to use a parallel structure.The ways to buildin

the first clause is narrowed to the single way to formand to layin the second clause. There is no need to

alternate the verb phrases between active and passive voice or to shift tenses.

A. The active gerund phrase the forming of bricks does not fi t with the passive verb phrase that follows

(they are laid).

The main objective of the sentence is to describe Essay on Heat and Light as Davys presentation of his

own experiments and to further explain that the essay served as both a critique of previous chemistry and

a vision of a new kind of chemistry. The clearest, most effective form for providing this explanation of the

present them in a parallel structure.

A. Correct. Th e phrases describing the essays function are presented in parallel form.
