35 Questions<br />

Directions: For each question in this section, select <strong>the</strong> best answer from among <strong>the</strong> choices given and fill in <strong>the</strong><br />

The following sentences test correctness and effectiveness of expression. Part of each sentence or <strong>the</strong> entire<br />

sentence is underlined; beneath each sentence are five ways of phrasing <strong>the</strong> underlined material. Choice (A)<br />

repeats <strong>the</strong> original phrasing; <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r four choices are different. If you think <strong>the</strong> original phrasing produces a<br />

better sentence than any of <strong>the</strong> alternatives, select choice (A); if not, select one of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r choices.<br />

In making your selection, follow <strong>the</strong> requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar,<br />

choice of words, sentence construction, and punctuation. Your selection should result in <strong>the</strong> most effective<br />

sentence-clear and precise, without awkwardness or ambiguity.<br />
