B The passage says that H.R. means House of Representatives and that 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 the number is given according to, “the order it was submitted in a 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 particular session.” (lines 12–13) So the 1 means that it was submitted 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 first in a particular session. Choice (B) is the correct answer. 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 2. C This is a tricky question. The major clue is that only three entities are 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 mentioned in the passage: the House of Representatives, the Senate, and 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 the President. You should suspect then that the answer will be the 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 Senate and the President since those are the only other two entities 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 mentioned in the passage. You can get confirmation for this hunch in 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 the sentence that says “Bills are presented to the President for action 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 when approved in identical form by both the House of Representatives 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 and the Senate.” Bills must pass both houses, so if the bills originate in 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 the house, they have to go to the Senate before reaching the President. 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 The answer is (C). 9 1 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 3. A The paragraph is about how Native Americans have “long recognized 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 and celebrated the connectedness among all natural things.” The 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 medicine wheel illustrates this point because it emphasizes the 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 connectedness of the four basic elements.

E Remember the Native American view stated in the passage is that all 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 natural things are connected; so we should expect that the scenario will 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 demonstrate this belief.

(B) is neutral toward the Native American idea—it 9 1 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 neither contradicts it nor realizes it.

D You don’t know a lot about what the astronauts do from the passage, 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 so you’ll have to dig this answer up.

B The underlined portion of the sentence reads awkwardly for two 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 reasons. First, it includes the phrase her plans of, which is redundant 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 because the list is a list of her plans. Second, the preceding plans in the 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 list are given in infinitive form (i.e. to refinance), but the last plan of 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 action is not in infinitive form. Any answer choice that deals with these 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 two issues will be the best choice. (B) is that answer choice. 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 16. B You know the correct answer won’t be a complete sentence, because it 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 is attached by a comma to the main clause. Eliminate (E). You will also 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 want to cut down on wordiness, rather than add to it. Eliminate (A) and 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 (C). Which suggests that the clause modifies a noun that comes just 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 before it. That isn’t the case. The answer is (B). 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 17. C Again, you want to move toward parallel structure as much as possible. 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 You don’t want nouns in one part of the list and verbs in another, as you 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 have now. Change the noun tolerance to a verb, tolerate. You can 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 narrow the field to (C) and (E). (E) is wrong because you don’t use a 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 comma in a two-items list. 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 18. D Guess what? Parallel structure again.

C Here’s the test writers’ other favorite trick: “not only” with “but also.” 9 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 Only (C) and (E) use this construction. (E) makes the tenses 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 unnecessarily complex.

D The sentence as it stands is muddy and unnecessarily wordy. These are 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 things to be avoided in good writing. “If” should be followed by a 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 “then” clause. What follows here doesn’t fit that logical pattern. So if is 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 99 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 out. That leaves (D) and (E). (D) gets rid of the repetitive and vague it in 9 1 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 the second part of the sentence. Good.

This is a prime example of 9 123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 23456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678 9 1 when to use whom.
