<p>first one answer is A and second one answer is E.
since political satirists are plural and something is singular, shouldn't second one be A?
and i dunno why first one would be A.</p>
<p>“(In a world that) the rate of technological and social change accelerates (frighteningly), change (itself) often seems to be the (only constant).”</p>
<p>That’s just terribly awkward phrasing. Should be something like, “In a world in which…”</p>
<p>“(Something of) a phenomenon (in) the entertainment world, political satirists (are admired) by conservatives and radicals (alike).”</p>
<p>Maybe something is not referring to the political satirists, but the phenomenon of the admiration between political satirists and conservatives and radicals. Anyway, you wouldn’t say, “Somethings of a phenomenon…”</p>
<p>To be honest, many of the sentences that are technically grammatically correct sound terrible.</p>
