<p>My answers may be wrong. I am only posting these for practice. If I am wrong sorry.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>i think D. lesser is between 2 ppl. programmers and colleagues imply more then 3 so least for sure (so corss out e/c/a). And I think B is just awkward (perhaps passive? not sure…)</p></li>
<li><p>E. The original sentence is comparing years w/ audience. B is the same meaning. E correctly changes the modifier error.</p></li>
<li><p>… D and E are the same choices? but D or E is the right choice. Its an idiom/parallelism problem.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>10) A. correct as is</p>
<p>17) The Red cross workers had not expected the ( refugees from :A) the flooded plain ( to be: B) as desperate and as undernourished ( as those: C) whom they ( had seen) earlier in the week</p>
<p>E or D… if its D its saw otherwise its fine.</p>
<p>28) Between the sales manager ( and I: A) (existed: B) ( an easy: C), cooperative working relationship; (neither of us: D) hesitated to discuss the problems. ( No error: E)</p>
<p>A. it should b me. If you flip the sentence around you will see that the subject is us…</p>
<p>29) ( As: A) the archbishop of Cantebury, Thomas a Becket assumed ( an independence : B) that was intolerable ( to: C) the king, who (had long been: D) his friend. ( No error: E)</p>
<p>intolerable to is the correct idiom.
i think its E.</p>
<p>First one is E</p>
<p>17 is E</p>
<p>Im still not clear about question 10 and 28</p>
<h1>10, im not quite sure why D is wrong, but if i were to take a stab at it, i would say that “shown” has to be “had shown” because the signs of a tree’s disease shows before the tree dies, normally. Therefore, it is logical to have the “had shown” there.</h1>
<p>Why number 17 cant be D --saw ??</p>
