<p>OKAY.</p>
<ol>
<li>[Like his other cookbooks], in his new book Chef Louis offers lengthy explanations of what he considers to be basic cooking principles. </li>
</ol>
<p>The bracket is wrong. So basically you can't modify a preposition phrase? Just explain PLEASEE!!! :(</p>
<ol>
<li>The Food and Drug Administration has overlooked the dangers of (some) drugs that seemed (perfectly safe) (until) long after they (are) in general use. (No error)</li>
</ol>
<p>It's (are). Is it because it should be (were)?</p>
<p>26 - you can’t compare it to cookboks, it should be being compared to “like in his other cookbooks”</p>
<p>27 - should be “have been” imo</p>
<p>I still don’t get it… Like his other cookbooks modify in his new book. UNLESS it’s not grammatically correct to modify a preposition phrase.</p>
<p>And piratebay, we working together or no?</p>
<ol>
<li>I think it should be “As in his other cookbooks” because “Like his other cookbooks” is not really parallel to “in his new book.” </li>
<li>The clause “that seemed (perfectly safe) (until) long after they (are) in general use” is in past tense because of the non-underlined portion “seemed.”</li>
</ol>
<p>ok…</p>
<p>is this a true statement or no: Like his other cookbooks modify in his new book. UNLESS it’s not grammatically correct to modify a preposition phrase.</p>
<p>Of course you can modify prepositional phrases. You can see this in “I climbed to the top of the tower on the mountain”. “On the mountain” modifying “of the tower”. I don’t think you can modify prepositional phrases in the beginning of the sentence; however, a correct response to the first question would be “As in his other cookbooks,” and that is modifying what CHEF LOUIS does, NOT the prepositional phrase “in his new cookbook”</p>
<p>^^I realized that I made a mistake. Actually, In “I climbed to the top of the tower on the mountain,” “on the mountain” is describing “tower,” not “on the tower.” So prepositional phrases as a whole can act as adjectives, but they are rarely described by adjectives.</p>
