<p>test #2, sec 7
1. In a recent year, more tourists from the US visitied museums in Great Britain than (Canada).
Why isn't it Canadian ones; so the real question is, when does the noun distribute to the prepositional phrases (museums in Canada).
13. The labor union (is negotiating) a contract with the hospital (that) (will satisfy) the demands of the workers and (be acceptable to) all levels of management. Shouldn't be acceptable to be in the future?
19. In (those cities) (in which) public transportation is adequate, fewer traffic problems occur and pedestrians (are rarely) (involved in) accidents.
in which just sounds wrong, why not where.
21. The report Alexander (is discussing), a report prepared jointly by (he) and the committee, does not (take into account) the socioeconomic status (of those interviewed).
why is he wrong, he is the subject of the passive clause, (he prepared a report).</p>

<li><p>It isn't Canadian ones because of the prepositional phrase "in Great Britain." You must keep the structures compared by "than" in parallel structures. Great Britain is a country, so you must pick "Canada<" another country. In order for the right answer to be "in canadian ones" the first part must be "visited British museums." </p></li>
<li><p>The be acceptable is just like it is in the future tense. I will go to school and be diligent. The "will" applies to both "go" and "be." Think of it this way: since there is no additional subject in between "will satisfy" and "be acceptable to," there is a continuation of the subject and the "will". The labor union is negotiating a contract with the hospital that
WILL-
-(a) satisfy the demands of the workers, and
-(b) be acceptable to all levels of management.
The will applies to both parts.</p></li>
<li><p>Get used to using the phrase "in which." It is not wrong in this situation. This is an identifying sentence error question, so you cannot eliminate something just because you think you can say it in some other way. You must find a definite error.</p></li>
<li><p>The "he" is wrong. "By" is a prepositional phrase, and pronoun objects of prepositions have to be in the objective case (him, her, us, me, etc.). "He" is a subject pronoun, so it can only be used as a subject.</p></li>
