^ #12 : can someone please explain why you use more in this sentence, not most, even if the bird is being compared to all other birds?</p>
<p>thanks so much!</p>
<p>anyoneeeee??? i’m taking the test this saturday, help!!</p>
<ol>
<li>You can see why A is wrong by removing the extraneous information. You are left with:</li>
</ol>
<p>
</p>
<p>What reduces pollution? Answer C fixes this error by getting rid of the “by,” leaving you with a correct sentence:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is a good strategy for any writing question. Removing the “fluff” makes it very easy to spot the error that was previously hidden.</p>
<ol>
<li>The word should be audible, which means able to be heard, instead of auditory, which means related to hearing. If you plug in the definition of auditory, it doesn’t quite make sense:</li>
</ol>
<p>
</p>
<p>I excised the superfluous information but as you can see, “auditory” doesn’t fit in the sentence. Replacing it with the definition of audible makes more sense:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This question is unusual because I feel like it tests vocabulary (CR’s job) more than writing.</p>
<ol>
<li>Well you can eliminate choice A because it makes an illogical comparison by comparing the bird’s body with another bird. Choices B and E commit the same errors so they’re gone. Finally you can eliminate choice D because it should say “those of other birds.” Saying “that of other birds” implies that all the birds share one body, so “that” must be pluralized. That leaves you with choice C which has no errors, so C is the answer.</li>
</ol>
