WRITING PROBLEM! HELP! CALLING x>700 on WRITING!

<p>1.) One challenge that writer Elanor Wong Telemaque faced was how preserving her ethnic identity while becoming more accessible to readers who are accustomed to writers from other cultural backgrounds. No error</p>

<p>(P.S: The answer is how preserving. But what would you change that to?)</p>

<p>2.) The bagpipe originated in ancient Sumer, and many people assume that it was the Scottish Highlands.</p>

<p>A) and many people assume that it was
B) many people assuming
C) not, as many people assume, in
D) not what many people assume
E) but many people assume it to be</p>

<p>(P.S: I chose E. But the answer turned out to be C. Can someone explain to me why it's C?)</p>

<p>1.) You would change how preserving to "how to preserve" </p>

<p>2.) </p>

<p>This is the most simplest way to figure out what the correct answer is: Read the sentence. It says " The bagpipe originated IN(keyword) ancient Sumer. Stop there. In order for you to make the second part of the sentence. You have to look for a word "in" in the answer choices and C turns out to be the only one. Every single choice is missing so it makes it confusing..</p>

<p>hope this helped.. if not.. im sorry</p>

<p>wow that was a great help. what did u get on the writing?</p>

<p>3.) Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium but refused to patent the process they used nor otherwise profiting from the commercial exploitation of radium.</p>

<p>A) used nor otherwise profiting
B) had used nor otherwise did they profit
C) have used or otherwise to have profited
D) used or otherwise profited
E) had used or otherwise to profit</p>

<p>(I chose D. But it turned out to be E. Can somoene explain to me why it's E? Thanks)</p>

<p>4.) Flints found in the region extending from the Nile Valley to the highlands of eastern Iraq attests to the presence of people there as long ago as one hundred thousand years. No error</p>

<p>(I got this one right. The answer is attests to. But what would that change to?)</p>

<p>Lol. Im taking the Test in October for last time and Ive been getting 790's and 800's on my practice test... so yeah..</p>

<p>3) Ok. This is kinda like the 1st question you asked me. </p>

<p>Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium but refused to patent the process they used nor otherwise profiting from the commercial exploitation of radium.</p>

<p>The parallelism is "to patent the process" ... so it has to be a "to...." the only answer that makes this change is E. </p>

<p>4) Flints is plural. So you need a plural verb. Attests is a singular verb. So "attests to" changes to "attest to"</p>

<p>I'd just leave it as "preserving". (One challenge Eleanor faced was preserving her ethnic identity while .....)</p>

<p>wow thanks for the help</p>

<p>I agree. Preserving seems like the correct choice.</p>
