49. The correct answer is (E). “Real iffy” is low-level usage that is inconsistent with the tone of the
rest of the passage. The changes suggested by the other choices neither strengthen nor weaken the
prose of the passage.
50. The correct answer is (A). Ideas in an essay should be presented in some logical order; and when
the essay describes events that are ordered chronologically, it is natural for the order of the paragraphs
to parallel the order of the historical events. Thus, the essay as written is correct.
51. The correct answer is (E). The sentence as written is correct.
(A) Recent is an adjective that modifies reports to tell you what kind of reports are discussed.
(B) Suggest correctly agrees with the plural subject reports.
(C) May not have is an acceptable idiom used here to express doubt.
(D) Effect is the correct choice of words for this context. Note: Affect would not be correct.
52. The correct answer is (B). Who refers to enthusiast, which is a singular noun. Therefore, spend
should be spends.
(A) The subject of this clause is which, which refers to magazine. So the verb is does agree with its subject.
(C) Annually is an adverb used here to modify spend.
(D) Its is a pronoun that here substitutes for the magazine. Notice that the pronoun agrees with its
referent.
53. The correct answer is (B). With is not an appropriate choice of prepositions for use with influenced.
You should use by.
(A) The verb was correctly agrees with the subject of the sentence, cuisine.
(C) Other is used here to avoid the following type of ambiguity: “Abraham Lincoln was greater than
any President.” The difficulty with this sentence is that it seems to assert that Lincoln, since he
falls into the category “President,” was greater even than himself. The ambiguity is avoided as
follows: “Abraham Lincoln was greater than any other President.”
(D) Those is a pronoun that here correctly substitutes for cuisines.
