<li><p>To ensure that the bread will have the same consistency from batch to batch, (it is the quality control specialist who checks small random samles of dough from each lot)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>A) It is the quality control specialist who checks small and random samples of dough from each lot-------->why is this wrong?
E)the quality control specialit is the one checking small random samples from each lot of dough. ------> Why is this wrong? if you put emphsis is on “the quality control specialist”, the sentence sounds just fine.</p>

<li><p>(Although only) two inches long, the shrew is a mammal and therefore a relative of elephants and giraffes.

D) While its size is------------> why is this wrong?</p></li>
<li><p>Surface mining is safer, quicker, and cheaper than deep mining, but (the greater is its toll in human misery.)
A) the greater is its toll in human misery ------------> why is this wrong? i think this sentence is simply inversed to emphsize “the greater” by making it a subject from orginal sentence “its toll in human misery is the greater”
D) there is the greater toll in human misery---------> why is this wrong?
