make sense of the phrase by the same token. This question appears in Sentence 6, so this
sentence should go after Sentence 6, as (D) suggests.
8. D Choices (A), (B), (C), and (D) all say essentially the same thing, but (D) does so in the
most concise way possible. Therefore, (D) is correct.
9. B The subject of this verb is politics and the law, which is plural, thus eliminating (A) and
(C). Choice (B) is the correct answer because it is more concise than (D).
10. A The idea before the conjunction (We may believe that we never come into contact with the
law) is complete, and the idea after the conjunction (it is written into everything...
ourselves) is also complete. When a conjunctive adverb connects two complete ideas in
one sentence, it is preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma. Therefore, (A) is
correct.
11. C This essay focuses on Amanda’s personal discoveries about the law; it does not the justice
system. Eliminate (A) and (B). Choice (D) is incorrect because the passage doesn’t discuss
her entire career, just the summer before she applied to law schools. Choice (C) is correct.
Alexander’s Empire of Culture
12. B The correct idiom is disappear from. The sentence as written implies two things have
disappeared when it should be just the study of the classics. Eliminate (A). Choices (C)
and (D) are not the correct form of the idiom. Choice (B) is the correct answer.
13. A This sentence is correct as written. Although the phrase for all that might sound foreign, it
is being used correctly here. Choice (B) does not make sense. Choices (C) and (D) are
basically the same as (A), and remember: If there is no grammatical reason to change the
original, don’t. Therefore, (A) is correct.
14. B The correct idiom uses the words in and right, so (A), (C), and (D) can be eliminated.
Choice (B) is correct.
15. B The correct answer will feature words or phrases that are as precise as possible. The
sentence as written does not make clear to whom the pronoun is referring: Alexander or
Aristotle. Choice (B) clears up this pronoun ambiguity. Choice (C) can be eliminated
because Alexander was born in Pella, and his arrival as a newborn would not have
announced an enlightened era, nor is it likely they arrived together.
16. D Notice the question! It asks for a concluding statement that emphasizes the change brought
about by Alexander’s rule. Choices (A), (B), and (C) do not address the change from
militaristic Philip to enlightened Alexander. Only (D) has the correct emphasis.
17. C Notice the question! It asks for an introductory phrase that emphasizes continuity from the
previous rule. The only choice that refers to the previous rule and explains how the second
sentence connects to the first in the paragraph is (C).
