Please help me solve these problems:
1. Each year millions of tons of fertile topsoil that could produce good crops washed away by rains.
B should be “tons” and D shoulf be “were washed”. Which is correct?
Is it OK if we use would in this case?
2. Visibly only though large telescopes, Pluto has a yellowish color, which indicates that there is very little atmosphere.
Should B is “it has”? Why they use “visibly” in this sentence? Is is a type of short-forms?
3. Toward the end of his life, John Sargent returned to the painting of landscapes and the use of watercolors, of which he excelled.
What does “toward” mean? May I use “in” instead of “toward”?
The answer is D. It should be “at”, isn’t it?
4. Early signs characteristic of the acute phase of viral hepatitus in adults are abdominal pain, nausa, and feverish often accompanied by chills.
????
5. Few sunstances look less alike than coal and diamonds, yet both are fashioned from same elemental carbon.
D should be “the same”, isn’t it?
6. Stars emit radion waves, which they may be detected and studied using radion telescopes.
I think in this sentence there are 2 mistakes: “which they” should be “which” and “using” should be “by using”.
7. The most important chemical catalyst on this planet is chlorophyll,..... carbon dioxide and water reacr to form carbohydrates.
A. whose presence B which is present C presenting d in the presence of which
I can’t understand this sentence.
8. Copper was the first metallic used by humans and is second only to iron in its utility through the ages.
Why do they use “the ages”? I think it must be “ages”.
9. .... that distinguish human beings from mother primates are related to the ability of people to stand upright and walk on 2 legs.
A. Many of the physical charateristics
B. Of the many physical characteistics.
C. The physical characteristics
D. There are many physical characteristics
I think in this sentence both A and C is OK.
10. Being chemical compounds, minerals have characteristic shapes and colors, whereas do rocks not.
I don’t know which grammar rules they test in this sentence. (whereas do not rock)
11. ... ballet dancers learn five basic positions for arms and feet.
A All of B of every C all D every
What is the differences between “all” and “all of”?
12. Appointments to the US Supreme Court and all lower federal courts .... be the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
A making
B to make
C are made
D have made
I don’t know this grammar rule.
13. Human do not constitute the only species endowed with intelligence: the higher animals also have considerably problem solving abilities.
Once again, I dont’ understand this sentence (and which is its problem?).
Thanks you very much!
