<p>I believe the second one should be “could” instead of “can”.</p>

42

<p>I have to agree with the above poster.</p>

<p>unbelievable is used incorrectly and should be changed to unbelievably</p>

43

<p>Answers:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>The error occurs at c where it should be unbelievably because it is modifying large</p></li>
<li><p>Answer occurs at a where it should be could not can</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Do you guys want more questions cause I got a crap load of em for any subject?</p>

44

<p>Can someone explain why can is wrong?</p>

45

<p>Yeah, you guys should post hard-level writing questions.</p>

<p>Also, I’d too like to know why can is wrong :(</p>

<p>Skill Group: Managing word choice and grammatical relationships between words</p>

<p>Corrected Sentence: In the fifteenth century, Leonardo da Vinci suggested that defective vision could be corrected by placing a lens in direct contact with the eye.</p>

<p>Explanation for Correct Answer A : </p>

<p>The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where there is an inappropriate verb form. The present-tense auxiliary verb “can” is used, but the past-tense auxiliary verb “could” is needed (to indicate that correcting vision in this way was seen only as a possibility in the fifteenth century).</p>

47

<p>Here is another one</p>

<p>Crocodiles spend (much) of their lives in the water, but (as) turtles, they must lay their eggs (on land), (because) reptile embryos must respirate through the egg’s permeable shell. No error</p>

48

<p>^
Is it B?
As-illogical comparison?
Gabby these questions are very discouraging…</p>

49

<p>yeah it should be like not as</p>

50

<p>So what’s the correct answer? “unlike turtles”?</p>

51

<p>The sentence should read, Crocodiles spend much of their lives in the water, but LIKE turtles, they must lay their eggs on land</p>
