Trang 16 D The although establishes a contrast Something
that makes any potentially offensive matters seem less
objectionable is, by definition, a euphemism The first
blank should therefore be a word that contrasts with
euphemism, like straightforward anachronism=
some-thing out of place in time; intolerant= unable to put up
with something; laudation = extreme praise;
clandes-tine = secret, hidden; candid = honest, straightforward;
euphemism= the substitution of an inoffensive term
for an offensive one; forthright = honest; coercion =
pressure on someone to act
7 C The English gentleman tried to teach his son
Greek and Latin without punishment, rewarding
his son with cherries and biscuits (lines 5–11).
8 A In saying that marks, grades, and diplomas
must be made reinforcing for other reasons (lines
16–19), the author is saying that such things will not
reinforce behavior by themselves but must be made
to represent something more meaningful
9 B The passage says that how honors and medals
derive their power from prestige or esteem is what varies
between cultures and epochs (lines 20–23) When Oscar
Wilde got a “first in Mods” in 1876, he was the talk of
the town But the contemporary student graduating
summa cum laude is less widely acclaimed (lines
33–34)
10 A The story follows the statement that how
hon-ors and medals derive their power from prestige or
es-teem is what varies between cultures and epochs.
Therefore, the story is intended to illustrate that fact
11 C Statement I is supported by lines 37–39,
which say that certain kinds of reinforcements (like
food) are not always easily arranged Statement II is
supported by line 43: We cannot all get prizes The
se-lection does not mention anything about rewards’
en-couraging only superficial learning
12 D In lines 58–60, the passage says that grades are
almost always given long after the student has stopped
behaving as a student It then goes on to discuss how
such contingencies are weak (lines 60–61).
13 E The paragraph as a whole discusses the need
for teachers to address the issues of whether, when,
and how to punish or reward student behavior, so it
is about teacher-student interactions
14 B Kohn and Deci are mentioned as examples of
experts who believe that reward is often just as
harm-ful as punishment, if not more so (lines 87–89).
15 D The second paragraph of Passage 2 goes on to argue that those who are doing a task without a re-ward continue to perform the task because they see it
as being “fun,” whereas those who do it for a reward stop playing because they are no longer being paid to continue The activity’s sole value comes from the payment they get for it, not from the enjoyment they get from participating
16 D We are told that Deci concluded that the
sub-jects who were paid probably construed (interpreted) the task as being manipulative (lines 105–106) In
order to draw such conclusions, the subjects would have to make inferences about the motivations of the experimenter
17 A The author follows that statement with it
would be a mistake to use these few experiments to gen-eralize that all rewards are bad (lines 130–132) These
statements caution against an overly simplistic theory about the effectiveness of rewards
18 B Deci’s opinion is that the introduction of a re-ward system changes things for the worse He would
see the description of the problems mentioned in line
37 as presumptuous because they presume that the rewards actually have a positive effect and incomplete because they do not mention all of the problems that
he sees in reward systems
19 D Both authors agree that positive feedback is a more effective teaching mechanism than negative feed-back Passage 1 mentions the need of good educators
to teach without punishment (lines 6–7) and men-tions the negative by-products of aversive control
(con-trol by punishment) (lines 35–36) Passage 2 mentions
that most educators and psychologists agree that reward
is always better than punishment (lines 84–85), and
since the writer goes on to criticize even reward sys-tems, he implies that punishment is most certainly a bad teaching technique
Section 9
1 C The word whose should refer to Alvin Ailey,
but the way the sentence is constructed, it is referring
to Alvin Ailey’s works Answer choice (C) corrects this
error in the most concise and logical fashion (Chapter 15, Lesson 2: Trimming Sentences)
2 B When a participle is used to indicate an action that is completed before another action, it should be
perfect Getting this far should instead be Having gotten.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 9: Tricky Tenses)
Trang 2CHAPTER 16 / PRACTICE TEST 2 701
3 C The sentence is improperly describing
Rachel’s irritation as being even-tempered In reality,
it should be Rachel who is even-tempered Answer
choice (C) corrects this error
(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced
Participles)
4 B This is a comparisons error The literal
trans-lation of the sentence as written suggests that Alberta’s
salary is higher in the air than her co-workers are It
needs to be changed so that the sentence is comparing
Alberta’s salary to the salary of her coworkers.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)
5 C The word elicit means to call forth or draw out.
The word should be illicit, which means unlawful.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 11: Diction Errors)
6 D The paraders were not watching from the
bal-cony The sentence needs to be changed so that the
subjects represented by the final pronoun us are the
ones watching from the balcony
(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced
Participles)
7 E The sentence contains two past tense verbs,
and one event was completed before the other The
tents were set up before they arrived So set up needs
to be in the past perfect tense—had set up.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 9: Tricky Tenses)
8 C When using neither nor phrasing, the
verb should match in number the subject that follows
the nor Because daughters is plural, was should
in-stead be were.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)
9 B When using not only A but also B, the words
or phrases that replace A and B must be parallel It
should be replaced by not only with working but also
with wanting.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)
10 C To correct this sentence, the word that should
be replaced with who, since Roberto is a person.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent Disagreement)
11 D Answer choice (D) connects the two clauses most effectively
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)
12 E When reading this sentence you should ask yourself: “who was forced to live apart from his fam-ily?” The answer to that question, St Pierre, is what
should immediately follow the comma after informers.
(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced Participles)
13 B The gerund form, forming, is not correct and needs to be changed to past tense formed Choice (B)
works best
(Chapter 15, Lesson 9: Tricky Tenses)
14 D What follows the linking verb is must be a noun phrase representing the most challenging aspect, not
an independent clause, as in the original Choice (D) works best
(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)

Many among us like to blame violence and immorality in the media for a “decline in
morals” in society Yet these people seem to have lost touch with logic Any objective
exam-ination shows that our society is far less violent or exploitative than virtually any society in
the past Early humans murdered and enslaved each other with astonishing regularity,
without the help of gangsta rap or Jerry Bruckheimer films
Assignment: Do violence and immorality in the media make our society more dangerous and
im-moral? Write an essay in which you answer this question and discuss your point of view
on this issue Support your position logically with examples from literature, the arts, his-tory, politics, science and technology, current events, or your experience or observation
