Trang 11 A The sentence is correct.
2 E The underlined phrase should be a noun
phrase that represents one of the best features of the
journalist’s lifestyle Only (C) and (E) are noun phrases,
and (E) is much clearer
(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)
3 B The opening participial phrase modifies Greg
and not Greg’s search.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced
Participles)
4 C Idiom requires neither to be followed by nor,
and parallelism requires the nor to be followed by an
adjective
(Chapter 15, Lesson 10: Idiom Errors)
5 D The past participle of to take is taken, not took.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 13: Irregular Verbs)
6 C Although choice (D) is parallel in structure, its
phrasing is nonstandard The phrasing in (C) is both
parallel and clear
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
7 A The pronoun he is the subject of an implied
verb, he (did), so it is used correctly in the subjective
form Also, the phrase admire his acting is correct,
be-cause the object of the verb is acting, not him.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 6: Pronoun Case)
8 B Neither is the singular subject of the verb, so
the verb should be was, not were Also, the pronoun
should be its because the subject is singular and a ram
can only feel its own pain, not the pain of them both
(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)
(Chapter 15, Lesson 2: Trimming Sentences)
(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent
Disagreement)
9 B The participle walking modifies Liz, not Liz’s
family Choice (D) makes this correction, but the
modifiers are awkward and unclear
(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced
Participles)
(Chapter 15, Lesson 12: Other Modifier Problems)
10 E The phrase if not better is an interrupter, so
the sentence should read well even if it is omitted The
only phrasing that meets this criterion is (E)
(Chapter 15, Lesson 2: Trimming Sentences)
11 E The original is not a sentence but a fragment.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
12 D The phrase much closer modifies the verb study
and so should be in adverbial form: much more closely.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 12: Other Modifier Problems)
13 B The two clauses must be parallel: has been so
popular would make this clause parallel to the first.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
14 D This is a diction error Respectfully means full
of respect, which makes no sense here The word
should be respectively.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 11: Diction Errors)
15 D The verb would have considered is in the
wrong tense and mood It should be consider.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 9: Tricky Tenses) (Chapter 15, Lesson 14: The Subjunctive Mood)
16 E The sentence is correct.
17 C The fund deficit and the disillusionment are
not a single problem, but two problems.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)
18 B The subject of the verb is either accepting or
re-jecting If the subject of a verb is an either or
con-struction, the verb must agree with the noun after the
or, which in this case is rejecting Since this is a sin-gular noun, the verb should be was.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)
19 C Since defense attorneys can be counted, the
correct comparative word is fewer, not less.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)
20 B It is illogical to compare service to other
restau-rants The phrase should be the service at the other restaurants.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
21 E The sentence is correct.
22 C This pronoun refers to a child, so it must be
the singular he or she.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent Disagreement)
23 C The phrase not only A but also B indicates a
parallel structure To make the structure parallel, the
phrase should be replaced with by.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
24 E The sentence is correct.
Trang 225 B The pronoun he is ambiguous We are not
cer-tain which individual it is referring to To correct the
error, he should be changed to either Thomas Cowher
or the Senator
(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent
Disagreement)
26 C The sentence indicates that this occurred in
the past by saying those who were observing
There-fore are should instead be were.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)
27 E The sentence is correct.
28 A Between my brother and I should instead be
between my brother and me Subjective pronouns,
such as I, should only be used as subjects Objective
pronouns, including me, can be used as objects of
verbs or as objects of prepositions
(Chapter 15, Lesson 6: Pronoun Case)
29 C The critic is writing about a duo, which is a
singular subject The their should therefore be
re-placed by its.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent
Disagreement)
30 A Choice (A) is the most concise and clear, and
the phrasing is parallel
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
31 B Sentence 3 presents an example of Plato’s
rea-soning as described in sentence 2 Choice (C) may
be tempting, but since the sentence does not extend
the idea from sentence 2 but only provides an example,
the word furthermore is inappropriate.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
32 B The pronoun they and the noun
approxima-tions should agree in number Choice (B) provides the
most straightforward phrasing
(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent
Disagreement)
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
33 D Sentence 6 does not fit because it shifts the
discussion to what students dislike, rather than the
nature of mathematical objects
34 E Choice (E) provides the most logical, concise,
and clear phrasing
35 A Choice (A) provides the most logical, concise,
and clear phrasing
Section 5
1 E If 2x = 10, then 4x = 20, and if 3y = 12, then
6y = 24, so 4x + 6y = 20 + 24 = 44.
(Chapter 6, Lesson 4: Simplifying Problems)
2 D Set up the equation: (a + b + 4)/3 = 5
Multiply by 3: a + b + 4 = 15
(Chapter 9, Lesson 2: Mean/Median/Mode Problems)
3 C If b = 2a, then a + 2a = 180, because the two
angles form a linear pair So 3a = 180 and a = 60 Your
diagram should now look like this:
So d + e + g + h = 60 + 60 + 120 + 60 = 300.
(Chapter 10, Lesson 1: Lines and Angles)
4 A Substitute x = 100 into the function:
(Chapter 11, Lesson 2: Functions)
5 B If 2m = 8, then m = 3 So 3 k+3= 243 Checking
the powers of 3 shows that k + 3 = 5 Therefore, k = 2,
so 2k= 22= 4
(Chapter 8, Lesson 3: Working with Exponentials)
6 C If b varies inversely as the square of c, then the
equation that relates them is b = k/c2where k is some constant To find the value of k, just plug in the given values for b and c:
8 = k /32
Therefore, the specific equation relating b and c is
b = 72/c2 To find the value of c when b = 2, just
sub-stitute and solve:
2 = 72/c2
Cross-multiply: 2c2= 72
Take the square root: c = ±6

Trang 37 C Each of the five teams must play four other
teams three times apiece In other words, each team
must play in 4 × 3 = 12 games Since there are five
teams, it might seem at first that there are a total of
5× 12 = 60 games, but since each game needs two
teams, the total number of games is 60/2 = 30

8 A If pump A can fill the tank in 3 hours, then it
will fill 1⁄3of the tank in 1 hour, leaving 2⁄3of the tank to
fill Pump B can fill 1⁄2of the tank in an hour, so
work-ing together, the two pumps can fill 1⁄2+1⁄3=5⁄6of the
tank per hour To fill 2⁄3of the tank working together,
then, takes (2⁄3) ÷ (5⁄6) =4⁄5hour, which equals (4⁄5)(60) =

So «7» – «5» = 7 + 6 = 13
(Chapter 9, Lesson 1: New Symbol or Term Problems)
11 100 Circumference = πd, so you can find the
diameter:
πd = 10π
Divide by π: d = 10
This diameter is also the hypotenuse of a right triangle,
so by the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = d2 = 102= 100
(Chapter 10, Lesson 3: The Pythagorean Theorem)
(Chapter 10, Lesson 8: Circles)
12 24 This is a “counting” problem, so it helps to
know the fundamental counting principle from
Chapter 9, Lesson 5 Since you are making a
three-letter arrangement, there are three decisions to be
made The number of choices for the first letter is
four; then there are three letters left for the second
spot, then two left for the third spot This gives a total
of 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 possible arrangements
(Chapter 9, Lesson 5: Counting Problems)
13 0.2 or 1/5 This is a simple substitution You can
substitute 10,200 for 96,878 × x2 because they are
equal So 10,200/(5 × 96,878 × x2) = 10,200/(5 × 10,200)
=1⁄5 Notice that the 10,200s “cancel.”

16 5 If their are a adults, there must be 30 − a
chil-dren, because the total number of people is 30 Therefore 10a + 5(30 − a) = 175
Distribute: 10a + 150 − 5a = 175
Simplify: 5a+ 150 = 175 Subtract 150: 5a= 25
Now check: if there are 5 adults, there must be 25 children, and the tickets would cost 5(10) + 25(5) = 50 + 125 = 175 (yes!)
(Chapter 8, Lesson 7: Word Problems)
17 9 Since a = (2/3)b, the perimeter of the triangle
is b + b + (2/3)b = (8/3)b The perimeter is 24, so

Mark the diagram with the given information The
dotted lines show that AD is the hypotenuse of a right
triangle with legs of length 8 and 6 So to find it, just use the Pythagorean theorem: 62+ 82= (AD)2

1 A Because the signal was strange, it was clearly
not an expected result, but it was also not from outside
of the telescope, so it was a strange happening from the
telescope itself malfunction= disruption of the normal
workings; bulwark = defensive fortification; anthology =
collection of literary works; mutation= change in form
2 B The problem is one that may never be solved,
so it is difficult or stubborn impotent= weak and
in-effective; intractable = hard to manage, stubborn;
evanescent = likely to vanish; irate = angry; insipid =
dull, tasteless
3 E If the general was surprised at the ease with
which the defenses were breached, he must have
ex-pected the resistance to be much stronger ephemeral=
short-lived; compatible = working well together;
egre-gious = blatant or extreme; imposing = intimidating
4 B A dependence on electronic devices would be
expected to tax the power grid, although increased
ef-ficiency of those devices would be expected to ease the
burden abated = decreased in intensity; attenuated =
caused to be less intense; compromised= rendered

5 E The word although indicates a contrast.
Although the persecution vanquished (conquered) the
will of some, it must have strengthened the will of
others despotic = tyrannical; squandered = wasted;
amenable = obedient; celebrated = eminent; ruthless =
merciless; forged= established
6 C The passage says that Rousseau’s writings
(line 1) were what led Goethe to say that “feeling is
all” (line 4) Therefore, Goethe was influenced by
Rousseau
7 D The passage says that Kant forgot to take his
daily walk because he was so absorbed in reading
Rousseau’s Émile (lines 14–16).
8 C Passage 1 states that “by emphasizing feeling”
(line 3) Rousseau inspired the Romantic movement
and Goethe in particular, while Passage 2 criticizes
Rousseau’s “worship of emotion” (line 33) as
encour-aging poor parenting
9 B Passage 1 states that Rousseau “inspired the
French Revolution” (lines 9–10) and Passage 2 gives
Rousseau credit for laying the “philosophical
founda-tion of American independence” (lines 31–32).
10 E By saying “It would be a good idea,” Gandhi
indicated that civilization in the West had not really
been realized
11 B The voices are those who are bankrolled by
large corporations (lines 16–17) and who are saying such things (line 15) as that America is a model of free-market capitalism (line 11) This would certainly
not include Mahatma Gandhi, but the passage
indi-cates that it would include politicians and those in corporate news and entertainment media (lines 8–10).
12 C The second paragraph explains how the concept
of free trade (line 20) works, so it is explaining a concept.
13 A The statement suggests that the rules of free
trade would work differently if the parties involved were different, suggesting that the rules are selec-tively applied
14 A This paragraph indicates that these words are
being used ironically It states that the Indians (gave in
to Western pressure) (lines 55–56), so the agreement
was not a completely free one Also, the words “liber-alize” and “liberalization” are used ironically because they refer to actions that in fact reduced competition
and were (a great blow to free markets) (lines 64–65).
15 D The triumph was also described as a great
blow to free markets (lines 63–65).
16 B The paragraph indicates that businesses are
expected to wager their own capital on success in the marketplace (lines 66–68) but that some
pharma-ceutical companies don’t need to
17 C In lines 14–15, the narrator describes the
in-struction as being “clear and facile to my apprehen-sion,” which means he found it easy to understand
18 D The phrase clear and facile to my apprehension
means easy to understand.
19 B The narrator says that a mind of moderate
ca-pacity which closely pursues one study must infallibly arrive at great proficiency (lines 22–24), thereby sug-gesting that only diligence is required for proficiency.
20 A The narrator was as well acquainted with the
theory and practice of natural philosophy as depended
on the lessons of any of the professors at Ingolstadt
(lines 32–35), which means he had learned all he could from them
21 C This supernatural enthusiasm describes the
narrator’s passion for his studies
22 B The human bodies are described as changing
from the seat of beauty and strength in life to food for the worm (line 68) in death.
Trang 523 C The rest of the sentence describes how the
processes of death change a formerly living body In
saying that he beheld the corruption of death succeed
to the blooming cheek of life, he is saying that death
and decay have replaced or defeated life
24 E The narrator reveals his sense of privilege in
this discovery by stating that he is alone (line 83)
among the many men of genius (line 81) who had
studied this topic before
Section 7
1 C 16 is equal to 2(7) + 2, so it is two more than a
multiple of 7
(Chapter 7, Lesson 7: Divisibility)
2 E Five oranges can be bought for 5¢ more than
the price of four, which is 4(20¢) + 5¢ = 85¢ $3.40 is
equivalent to 4(.85), so it will buy 4(5) = 20 oranges

3 A If r is positive, then –r is negative If you add
another negative, then the result will be even more
negative

4 D Twelve less than the product of 3 and x+ 1 can
be represented as 3(x+ 1) − 12
Distribute: 3x+ 3 − 12
(Chapter 8, Lesson 7: Word Problems)
5 C The square has an area of 200 × 200 = 40,000
square feet 40,000 ÷ 5,000 = 8, so this will require
eight bags of seed at $25 apiece 8 × $25 = $200
(Chapter 10, Lesson 5: Areas and Perimeters)
6 C Analyzing the right angle shows that x + y = 90.
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°,
x + y + w = 180 Substitute x + y = 90: 90 + w = 180
Subtract 90: w= 90
(Chapter 10, Lesson 2: Triangles)
7 D If the numbers have a product of 0, then at
least one must equal 0 Call the numbers x, y, and 0.
The problem also says that x + y = 7 and x − y = 11.
Add the equations: x + y = 7
+ (x − y = 11) 2x= 18
Plug back in, solve for y: 9 + y = 7
So the least of the numbers is −2
(Chapter 8, Lesson 2: Systems)
If you prefer to look at it as a “combination” problem, the number of triangles is the number of ways of choosing three things from a set of four, or 4C3= 4
9 B The only way that abc would not be a multiple
of 4 is if none of the three numbers is a multiple of 4
and no two of them are even (because the product of
two evens is always a multiple of 4) One simple
ex-ample is a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3 This example rules out
choices (A), (C), (D), and (E)
(Chapter 9, Lesson 3: Numerical Reasoning Problems)
10 A A large percent change from 2002 to 2003 is
represented by a point in which the y-coordinate is much greater than the x-coordinate Point A
repre-sents a change from 30 in 2002 to 70 in 2003, which
is a percent change of (70 − 30)/30 × 100% = 133% (Chapter 7, Lesson 5: Percents)
(Chapter 11, Lesson 5: Data Analysis)
11 E If both classes have 100 students, then class B
had 30 students participate in 2002 and 50 in 2003, for
a total of 80 Class E had 80 in 2002 and 60 in 2003, for
a total of 140 The difference, then, is 140 − 80 = 60 (Chapter 11, Lesson 5: Data Analysis)
12 E If class D has 120 students, then 80% of 120, or
96 students participated in 2002 If the same number
participated from class C, then 96 is 60% of the num-ber of students in class C If the numnum-ber of students in class C is x, then 60x = 96 Divide by 6: x = 160.
(Chapter 11, Lesson 5: Data Analysis)
13 E Substitute x = −1 into the equation to find c.
Simplify: 1 = −4 + c
So the equation is x2= 4x + 5 Subtract (4x+ 5): x2− 4x −5 = 0 Factor the quadratic (remember that since x= −1 is
a solution, (x +1) must be a factor): x2 − 4x − 5 = (x + 1)(x − 5)
Therefore (x +1)(x − 5) = 0
So the solutions are x = 1 and x = 5
(Chapter 8, Lesson 5: Factoring)
8 A You can draw a diagram and see that there
are only four possible triangles:
Trang 614 C To create a three-digit number, three
deci-sions must be made: you must choose the first digit,
then choose where to put the two, then choose the
final digit Since the first digit must be odd, there
are three options for the first digit Since the two
may be placed in either the second or the third
slot, there are two options Then there are three
dig-its left to choose for the final slot This means there
are 3 × 2 × 3 = 18 possibilities
(Chapter 9, Lesson 5: Counting Problems)
15 C Since one pound feeds five chickens, four
pounds are needed to feed 20 chickens This leaves
10 − 4 = 6 pounds of feed Since each pound can feed
two pigs, six pounds can feed 2 × 6 = 12 pigs
(Chapter 6, Lesson 2: Analyzing Problems)
(Chapter 7, Lesson 4: Ratios and Proportions)
16 A Since 120° is 1/3 of
360°, the shaded region has
1/3 the area of the circle
Therefore, the circle has an
area of 3(3π) = 9π Since
A = πr2, the radius is 3
cen-timeters The circumference
of the circle, then, is 2πr =
2π(3) = 6π, and the arc of the
shaded region has length (1/3)(6π) = 2π The
perime-ter of the shaded region, then, is
3 + 3 + 2π = 2π + 6

2 B The fact that modern readers read a book once
and then discard it suggests that their interest in it is
only temporary, rather than timeless immoral =
unethical; fleeting= short-lived
3 A Although indicates a contrast in ideas, so the
missing word must mean prolonged rather than
short-term protracted = prolonged; contemporaneous =
liv-ing or existliv-ing at the same time; transient= short-lived;
surreptitious = secretive; fickle = tending to change
one’s mind often
4 C Since the sentence says that athletes are
treated like successful warriors, you should look for a
word like celebrated invoked = called on or cited; re-pudiated = having to validity rejected its; lionized = treated like a celebrity; vilified = defamed; beguiled =
deceived by charm
5 E The word although indicates a contrast.
Although the persecution vanquished (conquered) the will of some, it must have strengthened the will of others despotic = tyrannical; squandered = wasted; amenable = obedient; celebrated = eminent; ruthless = merciless; forged= established
6 B If she was an opponent of the male hegemony
(dominance of one group over another), she must
have been an outspoken critic of the male-dominated society matriarchal = female-dominated; pugnacious = belligerent; patriarchal = male-dominated; vociferous = outspoken; avuncular = like a good-natured uncle;
belligerent = inclined to picking fights; rudimentary = basic; liberal= free-thinking
7 C The author begins by making the point that
the spelling profession (line 1) kills genius By saying
that Shakespeare was not a good speller but was more
of a genius than Noah Webster, he is reinforcing the point, thereby suggesting that Webster is someone in the “spelling profession.”
8 E The previous two sentences discuss the fact
that any attempt to make spelling easier would
under-mine the author’s excuse for bad spelling (line 18).
9 E Serena’s plan is to have people avoid spelling
words with silent letters, but not change the way they pronounce words This would require a change in writing habits
10 C Serena’s plan is to boycott (line 77) words with
superfluous letters Boycotting is a form of protest By saying that her plan is more American than his, the author suggests that Americans are inclined to protest things
11 A The author says he wants to set the idle letters
to work (lines 50–51) by pronouncing them, while Serena plans to ignore all words that contain superflu-ous letters (lines 75–76).
12 A In the final paragraph of Passage 1, the author
says that he replaced the Platonic friendship he had with Serena with ardent love (lines 85–86) because he didn’t know how to spell the word friend.

Trang 713 D The chaos is mentioned as the result of
fail-ing to impose standards for spellfail-ing particular
words and instead spelling a word in many different
ways according to how it is pronounced in different
dialects
14 B Passage 2 says that standardized spelling
ob-scures those spoken dialects that are so often used to
stratify and separate us (lines 116–118).
15 A Passage 2 says that the silent letters in the
word “eight” are a treasure trove (lines 126–127) to
those who study the history of language
16 A Passage 1 is clearly intended to be humorous,
while Passage 2 is very systematic in discussing the
problems with the spelling reform movement
17 D Passage 1 says that Americans do not like
sud-den changes (line 29) to suggest the difficulty in
en-acting spelling reform Similarly, Passage 2 says that
languages are not influenced very much by plan or
rea-son (lines 131–132).
18 D Because the final paragraph of Passage 2
dis-cusses the problem of enacting a plan to change the
conventions of language, the author of Passage 2
would likely regard such a plan as unworkable
19 C The first passage discusses although as a word
with too many silent letters, while Passage 2 discusses
it because it contains a letter sequence that can be
pronounced in many different ways

Answer choice (D) corrects the error
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
9 B You should not begin the clause after a
semi-colon with and because it is supposed to be an inde-pendent clause Answer choice (B) properly coordinates
the two ideas
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
10 B As originally constructed, the sentence
sug-gests that the children themselves contain violent im-agery, rather than the video games contain violent imagery Answer choice (B) corrects this error (Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
11 B The opening participial phrase, walking
hand-in-hand improperly modifies the vendor rather than the couple Answer choice (B) corrects this error.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced Participles)
12 C The original sentence is awkward and wordy.
The phrasing in answer choice (C) is the most concise and logical of the choices
(Chapter 15, Lesson 2: Trimming Sentences)
13 D This question presents an illogical
compari-son As written, the parents today spend more time
working than 30 years ago did The sentence is trying
to say that parents today spend more time working
than parents did 30 years ago Answer choice (D)
cor-rects the error
(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)
14 B The phrase if they would have in (E) is
incor-rect subjunctive form, and the comparison between
the language and the Borneans is illogical.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 14: The Subjunctive Mood) (Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)
