<p>hey guys. It's me. Korean_Dreamer</p>

<p>I have two questions, one from reading and the other from writing.</p>

<p>On page 539 of the 1st edition book, #25 why is the answer C? I understand that the correction's "and a decrease" instead of "with a decrease", but wouldn't the sentence still make sense even with the latter? I chose E by the way.</p>

<p>The other question's on page 554, #12. I think I literally read the whole passage over 10 times now and I still can't figure out what Clayton means by "crush". The answer's B: crowd. Which crowd is he referring to? Why would he just out of the blue talk about a crowd? :S</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>write the actual questions down</p>

12

<p>For the question on page 539, the first sentence states that there are two distinct causes yet the phrase as writtern only lists one. Thus, it should read “and a decrease” as opposed to “with.”</p>

<p>For page 554, the key was to realize that the parallel structure indicates that crush is used as a synonym for “mob,” or, as stated in the answer choice, crowd.</p>
