<p>What would be the error? This is the very first question of a new Practice Test and I already have trouble with it.</p>

<p>After Jeremy noticed that his grades were slipping, he resolved to watch no more than two hours of TV or less. No Error</p>

<p>Would the error be or less?? Sounds weird.</p>

<p>And how about this one?</p>

<p>After I graduate, I would love to travel to the Netherlands, which is known around the world for their unique pastoral culture. No Error</p>

<p>For this, i think there’s two errors. Shouldn’t which be changed to
“WHERE IT”?? Netherlands is a country AKA a PLACE. Why would a location/place be WHICH? Shouldn’t it be Where?? And why would it be THEIR?? Netherlands is not THEIR … or is it? I’m thinking it’s “IT’s” … Their would be Bob and Jim. I don’t know =(</p>

<p>“or less” is redundant because of the “no more than” that precedes it. “Which” does not refer to a noun, so it doesn’t matter that Netherlands is a location/place. However, you are correct: their should be changed to its. (not it’s).</p>

<p>or less is wrong because it’s redundant… you are correct. </p>

<p>Their is incorrect because “Netherlands” is a proper noun and should be referred to as “it” </p>

<p>should not be “where it” because you are talking about the country as a nation, not as a place. Where would be used in a sentence like:</p>

<p>“I’d love to go to the Netherlands, where the climate is mild all year round.”</p>
