Editor's Notes

  1. Answer: DFirst, there is subject/verb agreement between “library” and “is.” Therefore, we can eliminate C. THE REAL ISSUE, HOWEVER, IS PASSIVE/ACTIVE VOICE. The underlined portion of the sentence is in passive voice, which eliminates choices A (and C again students missed the subject/verb agreement). Choice E is not acceptable, as it would be “block” instead of “blocking.” Choice B is too wordy. Choice D is perfect!
  2. Answer: CThe correct format is “alternated.” The compound verb must maintain the same tense as the previous verb, “incorporated.”
  3. The sentence suggests that the host's "anecdotes," or stories, were enthralling because they were full of "engaging and provocative details." In other words, the anecdotes were "piquant," or engagingly provocative and charming.
  4. The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is illogical pronoun use. It doesn’t make sense to say that schools competed against “them” when “them” could refer to “high schools,” “schools,” or even “students.” Instead, “one another” or “each other” is needed.
