<p>10) What is the greatest possible area of a triangle with one side of length 7 and another side of length 10</p>
<p>WRITING</p>
<p>21) Most major air pollutants cannot be seen, although large amounts (of them) (concentrated in) cities (are visible) (as) smog.</p>
<p>The answer is No Error, but I put C since I though it should be 'are AS visible as smog'</p>
<p>Following up with that question though not very much related. When you are comparing something by as--as for example 'The light from bulb A is not as strong as bulb B' --Do you need to say 'as strong as that from bulb B' or is it okay as is?</p>
<p>24) The museum (is submitting) proposals (to several) foundations (in) the hope (to gain) funds to build a tropical butterfly conservatory. No Error.</p>
<p>The answer is D. I though 'to gain' works since it is parallel with 'to build'. Why is parallelism not applicable to this question?</p>
<p>28) The Empire State Building, The sears Tower, the canadian national tower--each (of these structures) (was) the (tallest) in the world at the time (they were) built. </p>
<p>Is the answer D since each is singular? What should it be instead?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Math answer is 35.</p>
<p>Greatest area for a triangle is if the two sides form a right angle.</p>
<p>for writing
21) if you put “although large amounts (of them) (concentrated in) cities (are AS visible) (as) smog.” you are changing the meaning of the original. Adding the as in “are visible as smog” would change the sentence to mean that large amounts of air pollutants are just as visible as smog is visible…which isn’t what the sentence is saying. It is saying that the air pollutants are visible AS smog and not comparing the visibility of the pollutants with the visibility of the smog. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if this is the correct way to approach this question, but that’s what I used to justify that this question is a no error.</p>
<p>24) To gain doesn’t work, because the correct thing to say is “Of gaining”, as it fits in with “in the hope”. So, it should be “In the hope of gaining funds…”, which is why D is in correct.</p>
<p>For number 28, i’m thinking that it is D possibly because it should be “…in the world at the time that they were built”? I’m abit unsure if my summary is sufficient, but I hope it helps you =)</p>
<p>For the last one, each is singular, so it should be “it” instead of “they”.</p>
<p>“Following up with that question though not very much related. When you are comparing something by as–as for example ‘The light from bulb A is not as strong as bulb B’ --Do you need to say ‘as strong as that from bulb B’ or is it okay as is?”</p>
<p>When you compare two things, they must be the same type of thing you are comparing. So if you want to compare the lights of both bulbs, you would have to say “The light from bulb A is not as strong as the light from bulb B” or you could say “The light from bulb A is not as strong as that of bulb B.” If you just said “The light from bulb A is not as strong as bulb B”, you would be erroneously comparing bulb A’s light with just bulb B.</p>
