because the words incriminate, criteria, and ascertain are all used correctly in context.
368. c. The information in Part 5 continues the description of what judges must ascertain about
such cases, which began in Part 3. Skipping next to the responsibilities of officers and back to
judges, as happens in the passage as it stands, is confusing. Choices a and b are incorrect
because they introduce examples before the passage states what the examples are supposed to
show. Choice d is incorrect because deleting Part 2 removes the statement from which all the
paragraph's examples and information follow.
369. a. Part 1 contains a run-on sentence; the conjunction however requires the use of either a
colon or a semicolon before it in order to link two sentences. The other choices are incorrect
because the parts they indicate contain standard sentences.
370. c. This choice supplies the third person singular verb, shows, which agrees in number and
person with the subject, One completed NASA study. The second study mentioned in the
sentence may be mistaken for a part of the subject, which would make it compound and
plural; however, the second study is enclosed by commas, thus making it a parenthetical
expression and not a part of the subject. Choice a is incorrect because it introduces an error in
pronoun/antecedent agreement between problems and it. Choice b is incorrect because it
removes a hyphen necessary to the creation of compound adjectives. Choice d is incorrect
because it creates an error in pronoun/antecedent agreement between scientists and they.
371. b. The topic of the paragraph is the definition of admissible and inadmissible hearsay
evidence. Part 4 introduces material about how trial lawyers prove their cases, which is off
the topic.
372. c. This choice removes the comma between the subject hearsay and the verb is. Choices a,
b, and d are all incorrect because they remove commas that are necessary.
373. b. Part 5 contains the comparative form more, but the sentence only includes one side of the
comparison. The phrase someone . . . may feel more tiredis an incomplete comparison
because it does not state what people feel more tired than. Choices a, c, and d are incorrect
because these parts do not contain incomplete or faulty comparisons.

374. a. This question requires the ability to infer the logical relationships between ideas in a
sequence. In this case, relationships are, first, between stated fact and the conclusion or
hypothesis drawn from the fact (Since); and, second, between the hypothesis and a particular
illustration supporting the hypothesis (For example).

375. d. This question calls on the ability to identify standard usage of the possessive. Choice d is
correct because the word researchers is actually a possessive noun, and so an apostrophe
must be added. Choices a and c are incorrect because they substitute misused homonyms for
the words given. Choice b is incorrect because it contains a faulty pronoun/antecedent the
microprobes have a diminutive width, not the brain.
376. b. In Part 4, the adverb typically is misused as an adjective to modify the noun wire. The
other choices do not contain nonstandard uses of modifiers.
377. c. The phrases since they [microprobes] are slightly thinner than a human hair and because
of their [microprobes'] diminutive width contain the same information.
378. b. The predicate does not match the subject grammatically, which is necessary when using
the verb is: A passenger-created disturbance doesn't match by playing . . . or creating.
379. c. This choice makes use of parallel structure because the list of the drivers' obligations are
all expressed in the same subject/verb grammatical form: Bus drivers will wait, will allow,
will not allow. In choices a, b, and d, the parallelism of the list is thrown off by the last item
in the list, which changes the subject of its verb from operators to passengers.
380. b. Part 6 contains a nonstandard use of a preposition; in this case it is the unidiomatic use of
the preposition to with the verb comply. The standard idiom is comply with rather than to
comply to. Choices a, c, and d do not contain nonstandard uses of prepositions.
381. a. Part 3 contains a sentence fragment; the sentence is a dependent clause. Choices b, c, and
d are incorrect because they indicate standard sentences.
382. c. The main purpose of this paragraph is strictly informational, to outline the President's
proposals for improving education in the U.S., and choice c focuses the reader's attention on
the list of proposals. Choice a contains information that contradicts the material in the
passage, for it states a limitation of the proposals. Choice b essentially gives information
about what specific effect the proposals might have, which is out of place in a paragraph that
