40. The correct answer is (D). The original contains two errors. First, the use of you is inconsistent
with the use of we elsewhere in the sentence, so you must be changed to we. Second, the placement of
only in the original is illogical. It should be relocated before the phrase practical applications.
41. The correct answer is (E). Sentences (3) through (6) discuss O’Keeffe’s early career. The topics
suggested by (A) through (D) would all add detail to that discussion. A discussion of O’Keeffe’s
marital status, however, would be out of place. In fact, you should notice that the writer implies that
O’Keeffe joined Stieglitz in New York City because he was a famous photographer who owned an art
gallery and adds as an after-thought that they later married. So the focus of that part of the passage is
O’Keeffe’s professional not personal life.
42. The correct answer is (C). Our analysis of the preceding question will be useful here. Choice (C)
incorporates the idea expressed in sentence (6) into sentence (5) as a nonessential dependent clause.
Thus, (C) correctly preserves the writer’s emphasis on O’Keeffe’s professional as opposed to per-
sonal life. Choice (A) places the idea into an independent clause, thereby giving it the same weight as
the rest of the sentence. (B) avoids the error of (A), but (B) implies that New York City, rather than
Stieglitz, was O’Keeffe’s future husband. (D) is very awkwardly worded, upsets the balance between
professional and personal life, and contains a pronoun (“it”) that has no reference either in the revised
sentence nor in the sentence that comes before it. Finally, it is natural to describe events in the order
in which they occurred, so (E) distorts the chronology of events.
43. The correct answer is (A). When you are writing an essay or a paper, you may find that someone
else has already expressed a point that you wish to make in a very articulate way. It is acceptable to
use that language—provided that you place the language in quotation marks and give the original
author due credit. That is the technique employed in sentence (10) of this essay.
