Practice Test Seven Answers and Explanations I<br />

665<br />

11. E<br />

Difficulty: High<br />

The verb digests should parallel <strong>the</strong> adjective healthy.<br />

Choice (E) corrects <strong>the</strong> error with <strong>the</strong> parallel adjective<br />

digestible. None of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r answer choices are parallel.<br />

Choice (B) uses <strong>the</strong> verb being digested, which also<br />

changes <strong>the</strong> meaning. Choices (C) and (D) keep <strong>the</strong><br />

original verb <strong>for</strong>m.<br />

14. D<br />

Difficulty: Medium<br />

When possible, change <strong>the</strong> passive voice to <strong>the</strong> active voice.<br />

Only (D) uses <strong>the</strong> active voice in a complete sentence.<br />

Choices (A) and (B) use <strong>the</strong> passive voice. Choices (C) and<br />

(E) are sentence fragments.<br />

12. A<br />

Difficulty: Medium<br />

The original sentence is <strong>the</strong> simplest and best version.<br />

13. B<br />

Difficulty: High<br />

Choice (B) corrects <strong>the</strong> error in <strong>the</strong> run-on sentence.<br />

Choice (C) uses <strong>the</strong> conjunction and instead of indicating<br />

a contrast with but. Choice (D) unnecessarily includes <strong>the</strong><br />

word however; contrast is already indicated by although.<br />

Choice (E) uses which in place of who.
