Directions: Each item in this part consists of a sentence, a part or all of which is underlined, fol-
lowed by five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Answer choice (A) always repeats the
original. The other four answer choices are different. If you think that the original is better than any
of the alternatives, you should choose answer (A). Otherwise, you should choose the letter of the
alternative you consider superior. Then darken the corresponding space on your answer sheet.
This part is a test of correctness and effectiveness of expression. You should pay attention to
grammar, choice of words, sentence construction, and punctuation. Choose the answer that best
expresses the intended meaning of the original sentence and produces the most effective sentence,
one that is clear and precise and is neither awkward nor ambiguous.
