women face during pregnancy are “ectopic
B
pregnancy,” the dangerous and sometimes deadly
C

D
the egg somewhere other than the womb. No error
E
Correct Answer: (B)


Let’s check the answers.


(A) “are” is a simple present tense verb so let’s test S VA. What “are”? A long but concise list.
“List” is singular and “are” is plural. That’s not a match.
(B) “but” is a conjunction that flips direction. Are “long” and “concise” opposites? Yes, so
the “but” is correct.
(C) Let’s check the preposition “from.” Can something result from something else? Yes.
Make your own sentence: His insomnia resulted from his guilty conscience.
(D) Let’s check the preposition “of.” You can even flip the order of the sentence to test it.
