QUESTION: 110

Between the prototypes, Mr. Kwon, the project manager, suggested that the developers concentrate on the largest of the two. No error

between
suggested
developers concentrate
largest of
No error

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When comparing two items, the correct word for comparison ends with the suffix “-er.” When comparing three or more items, the correct word for comparison ends with “-est.” This sentence ends with the words “the two,” so D should be “larger of.” A is used correctly as there are only two prototypes. The verb “suggested” in B agrees with the subject “Mr. Kwon.” “Developers” in D is the object of the dependent clause beginning with “that,” and “concentrate” is the corresponding verb.

QUESTION: 111

Of an effort to understand our new surroundings, we hired a tour guide who had extensive experience in traveling through marsh and swamp environments. No error

of an effort
who had
in
environments
No error

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The appropriate phrase is “in an effort,” rather than “of an effort.” “Who” in B is the appropriate way to start a description of a person. C is correct because of the common phrase “experience in.” Although you may have only heard of “environment” used in the singular, the plural “environments” is warranted in D because there are two conditions described – marsh and swamp.

QUESTION: 112

The committee requested that my brother and me resubmit our proposal with additional details about our plan to revive the downtown waterfront area. No error

that
and me
about our plan
to revive
No error

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If you extract “my brother and” from the sentence, it reads: “The committee requested that me resubmit our proposal…” Clearly this is incorrect. B should be “my brother and I.” A is correct because it launches the dependent clause. C is correct in its modification of “details,” and D is correct in its modification of “plan.”
