QUESTION: 113

Many world leaders argue that a global economy cannot function proper without an international commitment to protect the environment. No error

leaders argue
proper
an international
to protect
No error

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The word “proper” is used to describe “function,” which is a verb in this sentence. Therefore, “proper” must be in adverbial form, ending with “-ly”: “properly.” A is correct because the verb “argue” agrees with the subject “leaders.” C is correct because “an” is the correct preposition for a word that begins with a vowel, such as “international.” D uses the infinitive “to protect” correctly.

Jaime would like to partner with a person that can bring new perspectives to calculus and geometry, which are the focus of this year’s competition. No error

that
new perspectives
which are
year’s
No error

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The word “who” – rather than “that” – should be used to begin a phrase describing a person; therefore, A is incorrect. “Perspectives” is correctly plural in B. “Which” is used correctly in C to start off a nonessential clause preceded by a comma. D is correct because “competition” belongs to “this year.” Therefore, the possessive apostrophe is appropriate.

QUESTION: 116

People are often amazed by a dog’s uncanny ability to return home on their own after being lost hundreds of miles away. No error

a dog’s
to return
their
being lost
No error

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The possessive pronoun “their” refers to “people,” which does not make sense. The pronoun should refer to a dog. Therefore, the correct possessive pronoun is “its.” A correctly uses the possessive for “a dog’s,” leading to “ability.” “Being lost” in D is appropriate to describe the condition of a dog returning home.
