Time—25 minutes

35 questions

Turn to Section 6 of your answer sheet to answer the questions in this section.

Directions:For each question in this section, select the best answer from among the choices given and

fill in the corresponding circle on the answer sheet.

The following sentences test correctness and

effectiveness of expression. Part of each sen-

tence or the entire sentence is underlined;

beneath each sentence are five ways of phras-

ing the underlined material. Choice A repeats

the original phrasing; the other four choices

are different. If you think the original phrasing

produces a better sentence than any of the

alternatives, select choice A; if not, select one

of the other choices.

In making your selection, follow the require-

ments of standard written English; that is, pay

attention to grammar, choice of words, sentence

construction, and punctuation. Your selection

should result in the most effective sentence—

clear and precise, without awkwardness or

ambiguity.
