Editor's Notes
The error in this sentence is (C): the word "heavy" in the phrase "heavy veiled" should not be in the form of an adjective but in the adverbial form since it is used to modify the participle "veiled." The correct sentence reads: Maude Adams, after her spectacular triumph as the original Peter Pan, went about heavily veiled and was accessible to only a handful of intimate friends.
Answer: E. Keep in mind that the words after the colon will explain or exemplify the first part of the sentence. This means that the missing term describes someone who “seemed to know what dignitaries and foreign leaders were thinking.” Such a person is said to have great “perspicacity,” or perception. “symbiosis” means cooperation; “malevolence” means wickedness (“mal” means bad); “punctiliousness” means precision; and “consternation” means shocked dismay or worry
Answer: Choice (B) is correct. It makes sense to say that despite his “limited”—but apparently applicable—experience, the hiring manager feels that David is “qualified for” the job, or competent to undertake it.
Answer: Choice (E) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by placing the appropriate subject (“Barbara Jordan”) immediately after the modifying phrase (“After serving two terms in the Texas State Senate”).
Answer: The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is illogical pronoun reference. There is nothing in the sentence to which the singular pronoun “it” can logically refer. The plural pronoun “they” is needed to refer to the plural noun “handcuffs.”
