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 />
