<li>My art history professor prefers Michelangelo’s paintings <a href=“A”>to viewing</a> his sculptures, <a href=“B”>although</a> Michelangelo <a href=“C”>himself</a> was more proud of the <a href=“D”>latter</a>. <a href=“E”>No error</a></li>
</ol>
<p>Hm… that’s kinda tricky. One thing that bugs me is that it’s just his paintings, vs. viewing his sculptures… not sure.</p>
<p>umm… does anyone know?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the error is in A.</p>
<p>He’s preferring paintings to sculptures, not paintings to viewing sculptures…</p>
<p>I think TruthSmoker is right. The relationship between Michelangelo’s paintings and viewing his sculptures doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>Oh. I see your poi nt.</p>
<p>Oh, good.</p>
<p>How about this one for you grammar whizzes?</p>
<p>Modern scholarship <a href=“A”>holds that</a> Shakespeare’s friends compiled a <a href=“B”>definite</a> edition of the late playwright’s works for <a href=“C”>posterity</a> so that future generations could enjoy <a href=“D”>them</a>. <a href=“E”>No error</a>.</p>
<p>I said D, but I can’t decide if “them” refers to the edition (where “them” would be incorrect), or to his works (where “them” would be correct).</p>
<p>I think “them” refers to the edition, because “of the late playwright’s works” sounds like a prepositional phrase.</p>
<p>I think it’s E.</p>
<p>Mine, or the OP’s?</p>
<p>E.</p>
<p>It makes sense to say later generation will enjoy Shakespeare’s works, not the edition</p>
<p>“definite edition” vs. “definitive edition”. Which is right?</p>
<p>No them is correct…they compiled a definite edition of what? playwrites…people are going to enjoy what? playwrites not edition because so people can enjoy them…E</p>
<p>OK… here’s another one:</p>
<p>For frontier pioneers, a <a href=“A”>fewer</a> number of inhabitants meant <a href=“B”>not only</a> more land for each settler but also more risks, as food and medicine in sparsely populated areas <a href=“C”>were</a> <a href=“D”>more scarce</a>. [no error] E.</p>
<p>IT"s c…it would be “food a medicine was more scarce”…not were…it has to agree with medicine</p>
<p>^^ Why doesn’t it agree? Food and medicine is plural, no?</p>
<p>because when you have two subject you go by the number of the last subject. At least in this instance…trust me</p>
<p>“because when you have two subject you go by the number of the last subject.”</p>
<p>Since when? I’m pretty sure it’s singular…</p>
<p>duh thanks for refrasing what i said…it is singular…thus was</p>
<p>Ooopss. I meant plural lol.</p>
