<p>I'll give you one, then I'll give others an opportunity: 1. cleaned should be will have cleaned.</p>

3

<ol>
<li>cleaned</li>
<li>have devoted...no idea why</li>
<li>had been given...again a random guess</li>
<li>a protest on</li>
<li>C...idk I guess it sounds better</li>
</ol>

4

<ol>
<li>have devoted is wrong I think. I dont think you can have 2 have somethings in the same sentence. </li>
<li>had been given should be were</li>
<li>I think created should be had created. </li>
<li>I like C</li>
</ol>

5

<p>5 is C because you cannot compare 100 years ago with teachers. o_o</p>

6

<p>1 is definitely "will have cleaned" because the other verb, "come", is present.</p>

7

<ol>
<li>"cleaned" Tense error "Will have cleaned"
2.No error?</li>
<li>No error? </li>
<li>Protest on??? Doesn't sound right to me.</li>
<li>I like C Others are faulty comparisons.</li>
</ol>

<p>3 is either no error or having tense errors.</p>

<p>If we take the "in recognition" part out, it will be easier to analyze the sentence.
"Many of those involved were professionals who had been given new assignments." to me sounds fine.</p>

8

<p>Five is C.</p>

9

<p>1) A - will clean
2) C - to inform
3) D - have been given
4) B - a protest against
5) C - Others are misplaced modifiers or they just don't seem right...</p>

<p>Am I right?</p>

10

<p>I feel B is wrong here. One devotes himself to a noun or a gerund.</p>

11

<ol>
<li>A - will have cleaned</li>
<li>E - I see no error.</li>
<li>E - Again, I can spot no error.</li>
<li>B - a protest against</li>
<li>I am confused between A and C. Both seem correct to me.</li>
</ol>

<p>So when can we get the answers? :D</p>

12

<p>1 - A (will have cleaned)
2 - D (contribute?)
3 - E
4 - B (protest against)
5 - C</p>

<p>what are the official answers??</p>

13

<p>can someone explain were/ had been for #3?</p>

14

<ol>
<li>(will have cleaned)</li>
<li>(to inform)</li>
<li>no error</li>
<li>(Although)</li>
<li>C</li>
</ol>

15

<p>answers would be nice...</p>

16

<p>Why Can't you say: Many of those involved were professionals who had been given new assignments.</p>

<p>For Question 3. Why is it Many of those involved were professional who were given new assignments</p>

<p>So does that mean this is right: Many of those involved had been professionals who had been given new assignments</p>

<p>so does that mean nbafan is wrong about number 2?</p>

17

<p>Many of those involved were professionals who, in recognition of their accomplishments in previous projects, had been given new assignments. No error</p>

<p>It depends on the tense and the order. So in this sentence, these pros got new assignments because they did good on previous projects. So the
'in rcognition' part has to be in a tense before the outside. I dunno I just think were sounds better but had been isn't bad. The answer would be nice.</p>
