Can you please explain an answer in the Blue Book?

<p>On test number two, section eight, number nine. Can you please explain why the answer is not C?</p>

<p>it cant possibly be. 'They were once persuasive but now go mostly unheeded' isn't consistent with what is stated in lines 21 to 24 - '....eighteenth century in the vain warnings that early cultural criticism sounded against the dangers of reading novels' has a negative connotation.</p>

<p>section 10, test 7,#5</p>

<p>Today more and more women are becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, chemists, [or other professions].</p>

<p>a) or other professions
b) or they work in other professions
c) or at work in other professional fields
d) or professionals in other fields
e) or in other professional fields</p>

<p>what exactly is wrong with having answer a?</p>

<p>"Other professions" denote professions, not profession*ists*. Parallelism.</p>
