N UMBER 43 The Woman’s Land Army, dressed in bloomer uniforms and armed with such slogans as “The Woman with the Hoe Must Defend the Man with the Musket,”was dispatched to assist farmers in processing crops. A. No Change B. Musket, “which was then dispatched C. Musket,” and it was dispatched D. Musket,” and it got dispatched

A NSWER A The material between the comma is an adjective phrase. The other choices destroy the logic.

N UMBER 44 Women performed ably during the war and laid the foundation for more specialized jobs, increased wages, better working conditions, and a more competitive job status in the labor market. F. No Change G. the foundation was laid H. the foundation was lain J. laying the foundation

A NSWER F The original is correct as written. The others destroy the parallelism of the sentence. G and H use the passive voice and are not parallel to performed. J is the participle and not parallel to performed.

N UMBER 45 Answer C The most logical sequence is 1, 3, 2, and 4. 1 is clearly the best choice for the introduction because 2 and 3 can’t be the first paragraph due to the order. 2 needs to follow 3 because of the contrast that 2 has with 3. The reader needs the information of 3 to understand the contrast of 2. 4 seems to be a conclusion.

N UMBER 46 Answer F The slogan is appropriate because examples are helpful and enable the reader to understand a general point in a more concrete fashion.
