Answers and Explanations .............................................................
Did you identify the error when you read through the sentence? It is a Sentence Fragment error created by
the awkward “ing” (publishing).
(B) gets rid of the awkward “ing” by changing “publishing” to “published,” but the sentence is still
a fragment. It leaves us asking: What about the study that was published?
(C) “would publish” is the wrong tense. It should just be “published.”
(D) gives us the “published” we’ve been looking for. When we read the sentence we can hear the
difference. The sentence is now complete.
(E) rearranges the sentence incorrectly. “...the British Medical Journal about a new blood test...”
makes no sense.
Revised sentence:
The British Medical Journal recently published a
study about a new blood test for pregnant women
that can accurately assess genetic disorders and
complications in an unborn child.
