Practice Test Four Answers and Explanations<br />

14. c<br />

Difficulty: High<br />

Look <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> most concise answer choice that doesn't<br />

violate <strong>the</strong> rules of grammar or change <strong>the</strong> meaning of <strong>the</strong><br />

original sentence.<br />

As written, <strong>the</strong> first clause is unnecessarily wordy. Choice (C)<br />

makes a correct and concise modifying phrase. Choices (B)<br />

and (E) are less concise than (C). The transition although in<br />

(D) incorrectly suggests that <strong>the</strong> second clause contrasts with<br />

<strong>the</strong> first clause.
