参考答案及解析

　　Answer to Question 51

　　Choices B and C present faulty comparisons: in B, Jackie Robinson&aposs courage is compared to Rosa Parks herself, not to her courage, and in C it is compared to both Rosa Parks and her rusal. Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in rusing to move to the back of the bus; in fact, saying for rusing rather than who rused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus. Choice E incorrectly uses as rather than like to compare two noun phrases. Choice A is best.

　　Answer to Question 52

　　C is the best choice. In choice A, The rising of costs is unidiomatic, and in B costs... has lacks subject-verb agreement. Choices D and E produce sentence fragments since Because makes the clause subordinate rather than independent.

　　Answer to Question 53

　　The corrected sentence must make clear that both damaging and slowing the growth of rer to forests. E is the only choice that does so without introducing errors. In choice A, o/is required after growth. In choices B and C, the use of the damage instead of damaging produces awkward and wordy constructions, and without to after damage, B is grammatically incomplete. In C, the slowness o/does not convey the original sense that the rate of growth has been slowed by acid rain. Choice D also changes the meaning of the sentence by making both damaged and slowed rer to growth.

　　Answer to Question 54

　　B, the best choice, uses the idiomatic and grammatically parallel form the same to X as to Y. Because A lacks the preposition to, it seems to compare the appearance of natural phenomena to that of a person standing on land. C and D unnecessarily repeat would and wrongly use the singular it to rer to the plural phenomena. C and E each contain a faulty semicolon and produce errors in idiom, the same to X just as [it would] to. D and E use the dinite article the where the indinite article a is needed to rer to an unspecified person.

　　Answer to Question 55

　　Because the sentence describes a situation that continues into the present, choices A and B are incorrect in using the past perfect had elected, which denotes an action completed at a specific time in the past. Also, alternatives presented in the expressions x rather than y and x Instead ofy should be parallel in form, but A and B mismatch the noun retirement with the verb forms/ace and facing. C is faulty because have elected, which is correct in tense, cannot idiomatically be followed by a participle such as retiring. D correctly follows have elected with an infinitive, to retire, but, like A and B, fails to maintain parallelism. Only E, the best choice, uses the correct tense, observes parallelism, and is idiomatic.

　　Answer to Question 56

　　corrected, though, A and B would still be wrong. Because man than x necessarily includes the sense of at least as many as x. it is redundant and confusing to use elements of both expressions to rer to the same number of women. In A and C, not any support agreements is wordy and awkward. Like A and B, E redundantly uses both at least and more, and it incorrectly links the singular verb was with the plural subject others.

　　Answer to Question 57

　　Choice A is best because it is idiomatic and because its passive verb construction, has been shifted, clearly indicates that the light has been acted upon by the rapid motion. In B, the active verb has shifted suggests that the light, not the motion, is the agency of action, but such a construction leaves the phrase by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth without any logical or grammatical function. In C, the construction the extent that light is ungrammatical; denotes the extent must be completed by to which. D incorrectly employs an active verb, shifting, and extent of light is imprecise and awkward. E is faulty because it contains no verb to express the action performed by the rapid motion.

　　Answer to Question 58

　　The construction range from x must be completed by to y, as in choice B, the best answer: Johnson&aposs paintings range from... portraits ... to... views. Each of the other choices produces an unidiomatic construction.

　　Answer to Question 59

　　D, the best choice, is idiomatic, clear, and concise. Both A and B incorrectly use much rather than many to describe the countable noun others; much should be used with uncountable nouns such as "joy" and "labor." Even if this error were E use awkward and ambiguous phrasing that suggests that the sense of vision, rather than an adult with 20/500 vision, would be considered legally blind. C incorrectly uses the semicolon, which should separate independent clauses, to set off a verb phrase. The phrase if an adult in C is also illogical, since it states that a baby could also be an adult. D is the best choice.

　　Answer to Question 60

　　The intended comparison should be completed by a clause beginning with as and containing a subject and verb that correspond to the subject and verb of the main clause. In E, the best choice, it rers unambiguously to the phrasal subject owning ... land, the verb was corresponds to is, and today&aposs young adults are appropriately compared to earlier generations. Choices A and B lack a verb corresponding to is and a clear rerent for that. Choices C and D are confusing and illogical because their verbs, did and have, cannot substitute for is in the main clause.
