<p>Ok… I have two questions to ask… </p>

<li>Many ancient Eastern rulers favored drinking vessels made of celadon porcelain because of supposedly revealing the presence of poison by cracking.</li>
</ol>

<p>(D) for it was supposed to reveal that there is poison
(E) because it was supposed to reveal the presence of poison.</p>

<p>0000000000000
I chose D , but the answer was E, what’s wrong with D? </p>

<p>Explaining modern art is impossible, partly because of its complexity but largely because of it rapidly changing.</p>

<p>(B) it makes rapid changes
(C) of the rapidity with which it changes</p>

<p>00000000000000
I chose B but was C I thought C was wordy… so why not B?</p>

2

<p>For the first one -- D is awkward -- people don't really use "for" for "because" anymore. Also, if "for" is used here, there should be a comma before it.</p>

<p>For the second one -- B doesn't make sense. The art isn't MAKING changes. The art itself is what is changing. C illustrates this concept better than B.</p>

3

<p>Ohn and C follows the parallelism better by a bit for the second one. Read both again and you'll see what i mean.</p>
