<p>(In order for) (she and I) to be able (to attend), we (will need) to receive tickets within the week. (No error.)</p>
<p>(she and I) for the same reason why you wouldn’t say in order for we to attend; I’m guessing she and I is supposed to be the object of the sentence. Would "her and me be grammatically correct, or would you have to just replace (she and I) with “us” to correct the sentence?</p>
<p>hey, can anyone help me with this question:</p>
<p>** I [am] [going] to the store tomorrow [to get] a cat and a dog so I [can walk] them every day. [No Error]</p>
<p>I think the answer should be D [can walk]. It totally sounds weird .</p>
<p>Can anyone tell the correct answer and explain it ?</p>
<p>Whatever price the company (finally sets) for the fuel (will probably be) determined (as much by) politics as by a realistic (appraisal of) the market. (no error) </p>
<p>iI picked A because I thought that it must be in future tense to agree with the other verb in the sentence. however, the correct answer is E - no error </p>
<p>any explanations ???</p>
<p>(When thinking about which current television shows have) the potential to become classics, only a few come to mind.</p>
<p>A - as it is
C - when one thinks about which current television shows have</p>
<p>Why the sentence as it is is wrong?</p>
<p>When THINKING about which current television shows have the potential to become classics,
…</p>
<p>Who is thinking ? The sentence is implying that FEW are thinking
this error is called a dangling modifier</p>
<p>Thanks, Amy!</p>
<p>Neither Susan nor Jacob (likes) (to relax) and (watch) the grass (grows)</p>
<p>Why is the answer (grows)?</p>
<p>Also, Smoking cigarettes is not only dangerous, but (they are also a waste of money).</p>
<p>The correct answer should be Smoking cigarettes is not only dangerous, but also financially wasteful.</p>
<p>Is the original wrong because smoking is the subject and it is singular so it cannot be “they?”</p>
<p>I see why the first part is confusing, because it is correct to say “The grass grows.” When you say “The grass grows,” grass is the subject and “grows” is a conjugation appropriate for the noun. But when you say “We watch grass grow,” grass is the object and it is inappropriate to conjugate grow.</p>
<p>Yes, “smoking cigarettes” as an activity counts as a singular noun. Just like you say “Playing games is fun” and not “Playing games are fun.”</p>
<p>^ i think it is because of the not only… But also idiomatic construction</p>
<p>How about this one:
Delgados dilemna was (like many other) young writers: (he had to choose) between assured publication in a student magazine (and) (probable rejection by) a popular magazine.</p>
<p>Why is the correct answer A?</p>
<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>
<p>The correct answer is A because the sentence is incorrectly comparing Delgado’s dilemma to young writers, and an idea (dilemma) and a person (young writers) cannot be compared. The corrected phrase would be “like that of young writers” (dilemma is antecedent of that, comparison being made between the dilemma of Delgado and the dilemma of young writers.)</p>

<li>One of the unforeseen consequences of the editor’s management style is (that it leaves so little room for innovation).</li>
</ol>
<p>A: that it leaves so little room for innovation.
Why is “it” instead of “they leave so little room for innovation”? I thought consequences would be plural?</p>
<p>1) the colon means that the second sentence explains the first one.</p>
<p>2)“It” doesn’t refer to “consequences” but to the pronoun “one”</p>
<p>Those enrolled in the leadership training courses have evolved into dynamic, confident managers (from an inexperienced and uncertain newcomer) just a month ago.</p>
<p>Correct answer was “from the inexperienced and uncertain newcomers they were”
Why is “from being inexperienced and uncertain newcomers” wrong?</p>

<p>For first image, before the first comma the subject is the NAACP’s Top award not Thurgood Marshall, so after the commas it should be the same, and that is the case in E and C only (C is wrong because it makes two separate sentences.)</p>
<p>For second image, opposite opinion is bound to disagree so the reason B is wrong is because of wordiness. (Also note that if it was somehow changed so that it wasn’t wordy any more, you would still need the “with it” at the end like in option A).</p>
<p>For third image, notice how in option (A) the word ‘its’ breaks the flow of the sentence making it two sentences, i.e the part before the second comma and the part after it. The word ‘whose’ is required to keep the flow of the sentence.</p>
<p>I don’t get the fourth one either, I picked C…I thought it should be “it from” instead, totally don’t get why its E. It would’ve made sense to me if it was “its passage” or something like that, but I’m pretty sure if E is actually the answer then the reason is that the “its being passed” is correct because its like saying “its passage”.</p>
<p>Commercial growers (tend to) breed tomato plants for qualities (that increase) the profitability of a crop, such as resistance (of) disease, (rather than) for flavor and nutritional value. (No error)</p>
<p>Why is (of) incorrect, and is their a general idiom rule for words like resistance?</p>
<p>its resistance TO disease</p>
