Well, I think that even with the underline you would have to pick "they were" as the error since all cannot be the "fastest."

actually wait..then that means that you should pick The first one Because even after taking out 'they' it still makes no sense beacuse "Each of these ....Fastest" doesnt go togther., so the answer would be A ..because the sentecne could easily be fixed that way (Example:"Were 3 Race Cars that became the fastest in the word")</p>
<p>Well, with the "each" it would imply that they had all become fastest cars but at different times. Having "the Sonic 1, the Blue Flame, the Thrust SSC" were 3 race cars would make them fastest cars concurrently, which is impossible.</p>
<p>why would 1 by B? it should be "additionS of" not addition of because its mentioning a lot of things right? i'm confused...</p>
<p>also another question, why is 4 A? Neither of America's major political parties are interested in making . So it should be Neither of America's major political parties IS interested in making? Why is it singular? isn't parties plural?</p>
<p>I don't see anything logically or grammatically wrong with it. The sentence does not imply that all 3 cars were the fastest at the same time...but only at the time they were each raced.</p>
<p>This is really mind-blowing. Averageazn, you did, in fact, get all the correct answers. I know because I recognize these questions as ones that I wrote last winter or fall. I'm pretty sure they were on a practice test, but can't remember which, since I've written hundreds. ChrisC, you must be taking a Princeton Review course. Which test are these on? I must get myself a post-production copy to see if the layout worked out nicely.</p>
<p>I signed up for a practice PR test at a local high school. They let me keep the question booklet and took my answers to mail to the scanning site. Anyway...I never got my score back for some reason. What I did during the test is circle any question that I answered, but wasn't at least 80% sure it was correct. I just posted a few of the writing questions that I circled.</p>
