<p>1) Yasmina Reza, a French playwright and novelist, is best known for her play [Art, it has] been performed in more than 30 languages. </p>
<p>A) Art, it has
B) Art, also it has
C) Art, which has
D) Art, having
E) Art and has</p>
<p>I chose (C), which is correct but I'm confused as to why D can't be correct. Can't the phrase "having been" modify art?</p>
<p>2) Having been hired to produce artwork for the museum at Bandelier National Monument, [Pablia Velarde created more than 70 paintings depicting] scenes of Pueblo daily life.</p>
<p>A) Same
B) Pablita Velarde creating more than 70 paintings that depict </p>
<p>I chose B but I just realized that I read the answer choice wrong.. I read "creating" as "created' but I still have a question. Would the answer choice be correct if B really did say "created more than 70 paintings that depict"? When is that used and when is the "ing" form used?</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>anyone?? </p>
<p>i have one more question: </p>
<p>[The flag is risen each morning over government buildings in Washington.]
A) same
C) The flag is raised each morning over government buildings in Washington.</p>
<p>Why is is risen wrong? Does it have to be “has been risen” to be correct?</p>
<p>For 1) having been is wordy and using which has should almost always be used</p>
<p>2): Isn’t “created” in choice A?</p>
<p>In this case, “creating” is known as a gerund, which is a word derived from a verb but DOES NOT ACTUALLY ACT AS A VERB but rather a noun. ALL gerunds end in -ing. So “creating” would make the clause wrong as there would be no verb in it</p>
<p>3) Raised and risen are two different verbs. “Raise” is the word used when ANOTHER THING is lifting an object up. Rise is used when the object lifts itself up.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. </p>
<p>Yeah, “created” is in choice A. I read choice B wrong so I was confused why there were two correct answers. I get it now though</p>
<p>Thank you so much!! Everything makes sense to me now.</p>
<p>I’m sorry but I have one more question</p>
<p>4) Though she missed her old friends, Sharon was generally happy at her new [school, it has] much smaller classes than her previous school.</p>
<p>B) school, having
E) school: it had</p>
<p>I was stuck between these two choices and chose B. The answer is E. Is “having” wordy, or is it incorrect because it can technically modify Sharon also?</p>
<p>I thought the colon was wrong because only lists can follow a colon. Is that true?</p>
<p>Following the colon is a description. It can be a list but it does not have to be. </p>
<p>“Having” modifies Sharon because she is the subject.</p>
<p>Okay I understand now. Thank you!</p>
<p>please help me with this question also</p>
<p>[With the advent and effective marketing of] roll film and small hand cameras in the 1880s, amateur photography became popular throughout the United States.</p>
<p>A) same
B) With the advent and the effectiveness of marketing for</p>
<p>Why is wrong with B? Is it not parallel? I feel like that is the problem but I don’t quite understand how it is not parallel. </p>
<p>@singgus You’re right! B is not parallel. Think about it like this. ‘And’ is a conjunction. It combines to separate things to show similarity. If you take out the second thing and read the sentence alone it should flow nicely and vice versa. </p>
<p>In this case, “with the advent of” and “with the effective marketing of” is grammatically sound. B, however just sounds weird: “With the advent for” and “With the effectiveness of marketing for”. There can’t be an advent
“for” something. Advent means something coming in to place.</p>
<p>I understand now. Thank you!</p>
