Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

1. The analysis depends on a precise comparison. 2. The author claims the second method is more efficient than the first because it requires fewer steps. 3. The next paragraph explains those steps in detail.

AThe author claims the second method is more efficient because it requires fewer steps.

BThe author claims the second method is more efficient than the first because it requires fewer steps.

CThe author claims the second method is more efficient because it requires fewer steps than the first method requires steps.

DThe author claims the second method is less efficient because it requires fewer steps.

Solution & Explanation:Because the comparison to the first method is already explained by 'fewer steps,' removing 'than the first' reduces clutter without changing meaning.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

1. The article critiques a common assumption. 2. People often say the solution is simple, but in reality the problem has multiple causes. 3. The writer lists economic, cultural, and political factors.

CPeople often call the solution simple, but the problem has multiple causes.

DPeople often call the solution simple, and the problem has multiple causes.

Solution & Explanation:The best choice keeps the contrast with 'but' and removes extra filler ('in reality') that repeats the idea.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

1. The student revised the sentence to sound less wordy. 2. The original read: 'There are many reasons why students do not get enough sleep at night.' 3. The revision should be direct but keep the same meaning.

BMany reasons explain why students do not get enough sleep at night.

CMany reasons are there for why students do not get enough sleep at night there are.
