<p>21
assuming that the b is instead a space and not Alexander’s first name(we’d have even more problems if that were the case), the error is in “he” because it follows the preposition by and only pronouns in the objective case may serve as objects of a preposition</p>
<ol>
<li>one of a [kind/type/w.e] is nonstandard; one possible correction is “the only one of its kind”</li>
</ol>
<p>^all those are correct except 29 and 11. The answer to 29 is D because “each year” is redundant when there already is the presence of the word “annually”</p>
<p>11 is B because “as inhabit” is parallel, using the correct correlative conjunction</p>
<p>oh crap i totally glossed over each year and forgot the as-as correlative conjunction pair for comparison when a term indicating comparison is present (twice) </p>
<p>yea air freshener is right, im busted
better edit my post to cover my tracks</p>
<p>For number 21, I often use the method of rewriting the phrase. So I thought choice B was right because I came up with “he prepared the report jointly”.
I’m not familiar woththe preposition following by objective noun and stuff. Can you explain more about that problem?</p>
<p>Q6] Along the curve of islands known as the Florida Keys lies a reef of living coral, the only one of a kind in the continental United States.</p>
<p>The correct answer is D –> a kind</p>
<p>The strategy I used to answer this question is… Say the sentence aloud once. Try and notice if it is smooth or there’s something weird about it. This can’t be taught to you; you have to hone your instincts and go with your gut feeling. For me, there <em>was</em> something weird about it.</p>
<p>You can strike out A, B and C because there are no errors in them. ie, they are perfectly alright. You can strike out E because as I said earlier, there <em>is</em> something weird about this sentence. This leaves D. Think about it. Should there be some other word/phrase that should come in so as to replace “only one of a kind”? Yes, there is! </p>
<p>This is just a subordinate clause and it is dependent on the main clause. Hence, there must be some identifying pronoun to it that’ll beef up the sentence for you. The actual phrase should be “only one of ITS kind”. </p>
