<p>What is wrong with choice D. Can’t we say: I am a schoolboy with a nice suit?</p>

<p>I have looked up a online dictionary, which says “whenever” can be describe as “when”, but Webster doesn’t offer such definition. Could “whenever” means “when”?</p>

<li><p>If it’s sucked into the engine, it would cause (not prevent) a serious accident. if the answer was “intake, causing…” it would work.</p></li>
<li><p>it’s not the best answer. c maintains the same idea of the sentence and avoids the simple, overused “to be” verb.</p></li>
<li><p>The problem is not who/what won the award. the problem is the phrase that comes before it (which is describing her, but in the context it is describing the book - i.e. a misplaced modifier). therefore, only c really works.</p></li>
<li><p>no “it” is describing radio station so it works fine. the problem is that “most” cannot modify “number”. it would have to be “greatest number” or “most calls”</p></li>
<li><p>i don’t think “whenever” works mainly because it signifies something that is loose in terms of time. in other words, it doesn’t usually fit with things in past tense. “when” is a better answer.</p></li>
<li><p>this one is less obvious, but i would not choose e simply because it has many more words than it really needs. it’s not the best answer. choice d says the same thing in a better, more succinct way while also emphasizing that the reason they are going to the swimming competition is because of … (shown in the use of “for”)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>hope this helps!</p>
