<p>on the official prep booklet published by CB, p 59 #7
I know this is an easy question, but I got it wrong anyway.
writing section:
7. a poetic form congenial to Robert Browning was the dramatic <underline>monologue, it let him explore</underline> a character's mind without the simplifications demanded by sate productions.</p>
<p>A. obviously wrong
B. monologue, which let him explore
C. monologue that lets him explore
D. obviously wrong
E. obviously wrong</p>
<p>I only see one thing underlined, maybe edit the sentence underlining all answer choices?</p>
<p>Btw, on this forum you don't use HTML tags; you use <a href="underline">u </a>and <a href="bold">b </a>, etc. </p>
<p>Except close the tags - I didn't because then you wouldn't be able to see the tags.</p>
<p>select the best choice</p>
<p>revised:
P59#7. A poetic form congenial to Robert Browning was the dramatic monologue, it let him explore a character's mind without the simplifications demanded by sate productions.</p>
<p>A. monologue, it let him explore
B. monologue, which let him explore
C. monologue that lets him explore
D. monologue; letting him explore
E. monologue by letting him do exploration of</p>
<p>It's B because the "was the dramatic" part before indicates that the sentence is going to be in past tense.</p>
<p>and B is clearly in past tense with "let him explore"</p>
<p>what about "monologue"? monoluge is singular. "let" goes with plural. Are you suggesting that because the sentence is in past tense, the clause cannot use singular verb tense?</p>
<p>No, "let" is the singular past tense of "let."</p>
<p>i.e. Yesterday, he let them play.</p>
