142 <strong>Vocabulary</strong> <strong>4000</strong> Solutions to Drill I 1. Had the President’s Administration not lost the vote on the budget reduction package, his first year in office would have been rated an A. (A) Had the President’s Administration not lost the vote on the budget reduction package, his first year in office would have been rated an A. (B) If the Administration had not lost the vote on the budget reduction package, his first year in office would have been rated an A. (C) Had the President’s Administration not lost the vote on the budget reduction package, it would have been rated an A. (D) Had the President’s Administration not lost the vote on its budget reduction package, his first year in office would have been rated an A. (E) If the President had not lost the vote on the budget reduction package, the Administration’s first year in office would have been rated an A. Choice (A) is incorrect because his appears to refer to the President, but the subject of the subordinate clause is the President’s Administration, not the President. Choice (B) changes the structure of the sentence, but retains the same flawed reference. In choice (C), it can refer to either the President’s Administration or the budget reduction package. Thus, the reference is ambiguous. Choice (D) adds another pronoun, its, but still retains the same flawed reference. Choice (E) corrects the flawed reference by removing all pronouns. The answer is (E). 2. The new law requires a manufacturer to immediately notify their customers whenever the government is contemplating a forced recall of any of the manufacturer’s products. (A) to immediately notify their customers whenever the government is contemplating a forced recall of any of the manufacturer’s products. (B) to immediately notify customers whenever the government is contemplating a forced recall of their products. (C) to immediately, and without delay, notify its customers whenever the government is contemplating a forced recall of any of the manufacture’s products. (D) to immediately notify whenever the government is contemplating a forced recall of any of the manufacturer’s products that the customers may have bought. (E) to immediately notify its customers whenever the government is contemplating a forced recall of any of the manufacturer’s products.
Idiom & Usage 143 Choice (A) is incorrect because the plural pronoun their cannot have the singular noun a manufacturer as its antecedent. Although choice (B) corrects the given false reference, it introduces another one. Their can now refer to either customers or government, neither of which would make sense in this context. Choice (C) also corrects the false reference, but it introduces a redundancy: immediately means “without delay.” Choice (D) corrects the false reference, but its structure is very awkward. The direct object of a verb should be as close to the verb as possible. In this case, the verb notify is separated from its direct object customers by the clause “that the government is contemplating a forced recall of any of the manufacturer’s products that.” Choice (E) is correct because the singular pronoun its has the singular noun a manufacturer as its antecedent. The answer is (E). 3. World War II taught the United States the folly of punishing a vanquished aggressor; so after the war, they enacted the Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany. (A) after the war, they enacted the Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany. (B) after the war, the Marshall Plan was enacted to rebuild Germany. (C) after the war, the Marshall Plan was enacted by the United States to rebuild Germany. (D) after the war, the United States enacted the Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany. (E) after the war, the United States enacted the Marshall Plan in order to rebuild Germany. Choice (A) is incorrect. Since United States is denoting the collective country, it is singular and therefore cannot be correctly referred to by the plural pronoun they. Choice (B) is not technically incorrect, but it lacks precision since it does not state who enacted the Marshall Plan. Further, it uses a passive construction: “was enacted.” Choice (C) states who enacted the Marshall Plan, but it retains the passive construction “was enacted.” Choice (E) is second-best. The phrase “in order” is unnecessary. Choice (D) corrects the false reference by replacing they with the United States. Further, it uses the active verb enacted instead of the passive verb was enacted. The answer is (D).
