<p>these questions from the May 2006 really stumped me anyone care to explain some of these?</p>

<li>Teh derelict old house A. [across from] the warehouses and the B. [even more] decrepit one C. [just beside] them D. [have been placed] on the list of historical landmarks.E.</li>
</ol>

<p>Answer is E. I put C. isn’t it the more decrepit one just besides? since one is singular?</p>

<li>A. [There is] B.[probably no] story C. [more dramatic] D. [than baseball’s] great hitter and right fielder, hank Aaron. E.</li>
</ol>

<p>Answer is D. I have no idea why</p>

<li>In the context, which of the following is the best way to combine sentences 6 and 7 reproduced below. </li>
</ol>

<p>In royal palaces there were to be found many comforts that medieval castles did not offer. These had dark dungeons and damp, drafty living quarters instead. </p>

<p>B. Lacking many comforts compared to royal palaces, medieval castles instead offered dark dungeons and damp, drafty living quarters.</p>

<p>E. With their dark dungeons and damp, drafty living quarters, medieval castles offered few of the comforts to be found in royal palaces. </p>

<p>Answer is E. but I put B. what’s wrong with B and what’s better about E?</p>

<p>Thanks guys appreciate it good luck this saturday!</p>

<ol>
<li> It is grammatically correct, they are the correct idioms.</li>
<li> It is D, should be "than that of baseball's", since it is referring to story not baseball.</li>
<li> B. is incorrect because u would need "compared to that of royal palaces" And E. is better because the adverb clause/phrase whatever it is infront of medieval castles is grammatically correct and correctly modifies medieval castles.</li>
</ol>

<p>Sorry, i'm not really good at explaining things, but i hope you kind of get what i'm trying to say. Anyways GL!</p>

<ol>
<li>I'm still confused

rather than my house is besides your house</li>
<li>ooh.. i get it now thank you</li>
<li>B. Lacking many comforts compared to royal palaces, medieval castles instead offered dark dungeons and damp, drafty living quarters.</li>
</ol>

<p>The sentence needs that of? </p>

<p>Lacking many comforts compared to that of royal palaces,medieval castles instead offered dark dungeons and damp, drafty living quarters.</p>

<p>"besides" isn't a preposition. only "beside" is. one isn't the plural of the other--they're different words entirely.</p>
