Writing Q's help please!

<p>One school of critics A(argues) that the exhibits are neither stimulating B(nor) inspired, while another school argues that C(thy) are brilliant and D(filled with) emotion. </p>

<p>Is it no error?</p>

<p>Assuming that C is actually they, I believe there is no error.</p>

<p>^ooops sorry, it is ‘they.’ Thank you for the quick reply!</p>

<p>A(Dominated by) a heavy backbeat and amplified guitars, B(the music) was crude and C(raucous), and thus D(appealed to) the all-important youth market. </p>

<p>Is this no error as well?</p>

<p>No error on the critics sentence. Why?</p>

<p>^^Dominated by a heavy backbeat and amplified guitars correctly modifies the music. Therefore there is no error for both A and B Crude and raucous are both adjectives so C is okay too. Appealed to is correct idiomatic use, I believe, so I see no error.</p>

<p>^^

</p>

<p>I like to eliminate prepositional phrases.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>First of all, the clause above uses neither…nor structure. Second, stimulating and inspired are both adjectives. Therefore there is no error.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Juxtapose the two clauses. They are perfectly parallel. So we can infer that they are referring to the exhibits.</p>

<p>I see nothing wrong with filled with. A, B, C, and D have no error, so I’d choose E.</p>

<p>^Thanks benhpark! Appreciate all the help guys</p>

<p>A(In a petition) filed with the Supreme Court, lawyers B(for the company) argued that the appeals court had been incorrect in C(arriving to) the conclusion that the company D(had acted illegally)</p>

<p>^Arriving to is unconventional and un-idiomatic. Arriving at is correct.</p>

<p>Humming from flower A(to) flower, bumblebee workers B(busily collecting) nectar and pollen for the colony C(is), for many, D(the epitome) of nature’s peace and tranquility. </p>

<p>E?</p>

<p>First of all,</p>

<p>

</p>

<ol>
<li>from… to is correct use.</li>
<li>now that we see no error, let’s clear out this modifier.</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>See the brackets? Clear them out.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Voila.</p>

<p>I thought the ‘is’ was referring to the ‘collecting of nectar and pollen’? Bumblebee workers wouldn’t be the epitome of nature’s peace and tranquility though… would it?</p>

<p>^Anyone? D:</p>

<p>^^In order for the sentence to mean that, then the sentence would read</p>

<p>…bumblebee workers’ busily collecting nectar is the epitome…</p>

<p>Note the apostrophe.</p>

<p>Btw sorry for the late reply.</p>

<p>Ahh, thanks again Benhpark!</p>

<p>Numerical concepts are A(best learned) with hands-on experience, so educators of young children B(often) use tangible objects C(kids can) color, count, and calculate to teach D(it).</p>

<p>The answer would be D, right? How can you tell whether or not ‘it’ is ambiguous or not?</p>

<p>You’ve gotten the answer correctly, but your rationale is questionable.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Isn’t it incorrectly referring to numerical concepts? I’d change it to those concepts.</p>
