---

Answers & Explanations

1. C

Explanation: The phrase "the latter" refers to "news reporters," which is plural. Therefore, the pronoun
should be "their" to agree in number, not "his or her" (singular). This is a pronoun agreement error.

2. B

Explanation: "The management" is a collective noun treated as singular in American English. The
possessive pronoun should be "its" (singular), not "their" (plural). This is a pronoun-antecedent
agreement error.

3. C

Explanation: The sentence is in the past tense overall (e.g., "panicked," "took"). "There are" should be
"there were" for tense consistency when describing past events. This is a verb tense error.

4. A

Explanation: The verb "rise" is irregular; its past participle is "risen," not "rose." Thus, it should be "had
risen." This is an irregular verb form error.
5. A

Explanation: The idiomatically correct comparison is "more...than," not "more...than like." It should
simply be "than a religion." This is an idiomatic expression error.

6. C

Explanation: "Young people" is plural, so the pronoun should be "their" (plural), not "his or her"
(singular). This is a pronoun agreement error.

7. C

Explanation: The clause describes a general truth or habitual action, so the verb should be in the present
tense ("project"), not past ("projected"). This is a verb tense error for general statements.

8. B

Explanation: The subject "any mention" is singular, so the verb should be "was," not "were" (plural). The
inversion (subject after verb) does not change subject-verb agreement. This is a subject-verb agreement
error.

9. A

Explanation: The reflexive pronoun "myself" is incorrect here; the objective pronoun "me" is needed
after the preposition "to." Reflexive pronouns are used only when the subject and object are the same
person. This is a pronoun case error.

10. B

Explanation: The introductory clause is in the past tense ("characterized"), so the main clause should use
simple past "was" for consistency, not present perfect "has been." This is a verb tense error.

11. A

Explanation: "No matte r" is a spelling error; it should be "No matter." This is a spelling/usage error.

12. C

Explanation: "It" is singular, but it refers to "squirrels" (plural). It should be "they." This is a pronoun
agreement error.
13. D

Explanation: For parallelism in the compound object, it should be "a doctor or a lawyer" (matching
articles). This is a parallelism/parallel structure error.

14. D

Explanation: "The so-called Impressionists" is plural, so the verb should be "were," not "was" (singular).
This is a subject-verb agreement error.

15. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where the preposition "of" is incorrect for introducing the source of the
data. It should be "from" (data from the study) to properly indicate origin. This is a preposition idiom
error.

16. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), a verb tense inconsistency. The sentence describes a general truth about
past and present challenges, so "vary" should be "still vary" or rephrased for present tense consistency.
This is a verb tense error.

17. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where the pronoun "they" creates a comma splice or run-on; it should be
"because they" or restructured for subordination. This is a sentence structure/error in clause connection.

18. E

Explanation: There is no error in this sentence. The structure, tense, and prepositions are correct.

19. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "in preservation" should be "of preservation" for the idiomatic
expression "deficiencies of preservation." This is an idiom/preposition error.

20. C
Explanation: The error is in (C), where "as well as" disrupts parallelism in the infinitive purposes. It
should be "not merely... but also" for proper correlation. This is a parallelism/conjunction error.

21. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "to us students" is awkwardly placed or redundant; better as "to
the students" or rephrased. This is a modifier placement error.

22. E

Explanation: There is no error in this sentence. The conditional structure and prepositions are correct.

23. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where the introductory phrase "Protesting..." modifies the compound
subject awkwardly; "both" is unnecessary and creates imbalance. Remove "both" for parallel structure.
This is a parallelism/modifier error.

24. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), a tense inconsistency; "conflicted" should be "conflicts" for general truth
or "had conflicted" for past perfect alignment with "were impressed." This is a verb tense error.

25. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "since" implies time but here means "because"—use "because"
for causal relationship. This is a conjunction/idiom error.

26. E

Explanation: There is no error in this sentence. The parallel structure and tenses are consistent.

27. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "groaned" should be "groan" for parallelism with "stared" (both
present tense infinitives or base form in the subordinate clause). This is a parallelism/verb form error.

28. B
Explanation: The error is in (B), where "and became" creates a run-on or faulty coordination after
"although"; it should be "it became" or restructured. This is a sentence structure/conjunction error.

29. D

Explanation: The error is in (D), a tense inconsistency; "have been" should be "were" or "are" depending
on context, but for ongoing forces over millions of years, present perfect "have been" is incorrect with
"for millions of years." This is a verb tense error.

30. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where the comparative "far more challenging than" lacks a parallel
structure; it should be "far more challenging than those at her high school," but the fragment suggests
awkward placement. This is an idiom/comparative error.

31. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "especially" is used for concession but should be "particularly" or
rephrased; the contrast with "since" suggests "although" for better logic. This is a conjunction/logic error.

32. D

Explanation: The error is in (D), where "being increased" is passive and awkward; it should be
"increased" or "the increase in." This is a verb form/modifier error.

33. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), tense shift; "had to act" should be "must act" or "needed to act" for
consistency with "knew" (past). This is a verb tense error.

34. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "with" creates a dangling modifier; it should be "as" or "when" for
temporal connection. This is a modifier error.

35. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "after dragging" is redundant with "hauled"; it should be "by
dragging" for means. This is a redundancy error.
36. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "was dismissed" is passive and illogical; it should be "dismissed
itself" or "let out" for clarity. This is a voice error.

37. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "investments" lacks a verb; it should be "investments serve" or
rephrased for sentence completeness. This is a sentence fragment error.

38. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "all the night" is non-idiomatic; it should be "all night" or "the
entire night." This is an idiom error.

39. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "progress of" should be "progress in" for idiomatic usage with
"Homo sapiens." This is a preposition idiom error.

40. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "was able to keep" should be "were able to keep" for subject-verb
agreement with "neither...nor" (plural verb if second subject is plural). This is a subject-verb agreement
error.

41. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "were" should be "was" because the subject "more than three
hundred soldiers" is singular in meaning (a group). This is a subject-verb agreement error.

42. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "extracted" should be "extricated" for removing someone from a
vehicle; "extracted" is for teeth or resources. This is a diction error.

43. E

Explanation: There is no error in this sentence. The tenses and structure are correct.
44. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "citing" should be "by citing" for parallelism with "by" in the
introductory phrase. This is a parallelism/preposition error.

45. D

Explanation: The error is in (D), where "for nearly one hundred years" is a dangling modifier; it should
modify the engine's use, not Wilson's goal. This is a modifier error.

46. B

Explanation: The error is in (B), where "as a star" should be "as the star" or rephrased for specificity; "a
star" is vague. This is an article error.

47. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "nervous to be" is non-idiomatic; it should be "nervous about
being." This is an idiom error.

48. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "in Pittsburgh for a newspaper" is illogical; it should be "in
Pittsburgh before working for a newspaper" or rephrased for clarity. This is a logic error.

49. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "comply with" should be "comply with that" or "that comply with"
for subordination. This is a sentence structure error.

50. E

Explanation: There is no error in this sentence. The past perfect is correctly used.

51. E

Explanation: There is no error in this sentence. The verb tense and structure are correct.
52. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "the long periods of time" is redundant; it should be "long
periods" or "extended time." This is a redundancy error.

53. A

Explanation: The error is in (A), where "on land or in the sea" is illogical for the blue whale (which is not
on land); it should be "in the sea" only. This is a logic error.

54. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "decided" creates a run-on; it should be "and decided" or a
semicolon before "decided." This is a sentence structure error.

55. C

Explanation: The error is in (C), where "as its competitors have" should be "as those its competitors
have" for parallel comparison. This is a parallelism error.

56. E
