Answer to Question 1

Choice E, the best answer, correctly uses the construction is better served by x than by y and supplies the proper singular pronoun, it, to refer to religion. Choices A and B complete the construction beginning better served by x... unidiomatically, with instead of by y and rather than y. Also in B, them does not agree with its logical referent, religion. Choice C repeats the unidiomatic instead construction; in addition, such is preferable to these for presenting examples or instances. Choice D repeats the errors with rather than and them.

Answer to Question 2

Choice D, the best answer, correctly uses an infinitive to connect the verb claims with the firm's assertion: claims to be able ... to assess .... All of the other choices use ungrammatical or unclear constructions after claims. Choices A and B present clauses that should be introduced by "claims that." In A, placing that after sample rather than after claims produces the unintended statement that the claim itself is made on the basis of a single one-page writing sample. Also, in B, the ability of assessing is unidiomatic. Choice C repeats this second fault and uses the unidiomatic claims the ability. Choice E uses the ungrammatical claims being able to assess.

Answer to Question 3

Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the construction more fragile ... than to compare the economic bases of private Black colleges with those of most predominantly White colleges. Choice A fails to supply a phrase like those of, thus illogically comparing the Black colleges' economic bases to predominantly White colleges. Similarly, in C than is so of does not clearly identify the second term of the comparison and is unnecessarily wordy. Like A, D makes an illogical comparison between bases and colleges, and both D and E use the unidiomatic and redundant more ... compared to.

Answer to Question 4

Choice B, the best answer, uses clear and concise phrasing to state that it is the effects of drug and alcohol abuse that already cost business the sum mentioned. In A, to business is awkwardly and confusingly inserted between cost and the prepositional phrase that modifies it, and are already a cost to business is wordy and awkward compared to cost business. In C, already with business costs of... is awkward and unclear, failing to specify that those prior effects generate the cost. Choices D and E produce faulty constructions with the phrase significant in compounding, which cannot grammatically modify the verb form is growing.

Answer to Question 5

Choice A, the best answer, correctly supplies the past tense verbs established and used to describe two actions performed in 1456; also, it idiomatically employs the phrase used the Acropolis as a fortress, in which used as means "employed in the capacity of." Choices B and C incorrectly replace as wiui like. Furthermore, in C, when he had established a mosque distorts the intended meaning by stating that the first action was completed before the second was begun. Similarly, in D, had established... using states that Mohammed had already performed the actions before capturing Athens; and in E, establishing and using modify Athens, thus producing an absurd statement. In addition, D includes the unidiomatic construction "using x to be y."
