<p>For anyone who has access to this book, I need help with 2 problems on certain pages.</p>

<p>Pg 652 #4
Pre-Spanish art in Mexico is not a _____ art; they are mistaken who see in its bold simplifications or wayward conceptions an inability to _________ technical difficulties.
(A) formal... ignore
(B) graphics... understand
(C) primitive... nurture
(D) crude... overcome
(E) revolutionary... instigate</p>

<p>The answer to that is D but the sentence it self does not sound grammatically correct to me. I spent a while reading the explanation in the book but it still didn't help me at all. Does this really have an error or am I just missing something?</p>

<p>Pg 653 #8
Now this question is based on 2 passages so you need the book to read them. They are 2 very short passages by the way. The answer to #8 is B, which I understand BUT my question is: if passage 1 referred to only Fredrick Douglass and not his masters or anybody else, would that make the passage subjective? If not, what would make the passage subjective?</p>

2

<p>“They are mistaken who see” is grammatically incorrect. “They” was never defined.</p>

3

<p>There is no mistake. That’s an inverted sentence structure. Not wrong, sounds a little funky, but it probably was a choice the author made stylistically.</p>

4

<p>Oh well, I guess it’s one of those really hard/weird questions. Anybody able to help on the other question I had?</p>
