<p>Both her work on community service projects and her dedication TO LEARNING (a) HAS GAINTED (b) Ms. Stevens the RESPECT OF (c) the ENTIRE (d) faculty. NO ERROR (e)</p>

<p>A volunteer organization, the Covington soup kitchen HAS BEEN FEEING (a) needy families SINCE (b) 1977, annually distributing NEARLY (c) a million pounds of food EACH YEAR (d). NO ERROR (e)</p>

<p>whats the answer to those two sentences?
the capital letters show the word/phrase underlined in the book.
thanks!</p>

<p>First is a, second is d?</p>

<p>It already mentioned “annualy” hence no need for “each year”</p>

<p>okay so i get the second. it was d.
but first one isnt a, its b. i dont get why</p>

<p>but is that the real reason for the second one? since it alerady said annually, each year is repetitive?</p>

<p>ahh yea, I meant B for the first one. Wasn’t really paying attention and just saw a next to the beginning of HAS.</p>

<p>Should be have I believe.</p>

<p>Im positive on the second one, someone else had that same question answered a while back.</p>

<p>1 is def B because it should be have.</p>

<p>Man,these questions are from qas and you should have the answers to them ;)</p>

<p>i do have the answers, i just didnt know why</p>

<p>1 should be “have gained” in order to agree with the plural subject.</p>

<p>thanks for the explanations :]</p>

<p>the second one is D for sure since “yearly” is redundant. the phrase already conveys that food is given each year when it says “annually.” hope that helps</p>
