3. Directions
2. In the space between the lines, explain what makes each answer choice wrong/right.
12. The author went to New York to—
F. begin a new job
This is incorrect because he is a student.
G. attend college
This is correct because he explicitly mentions this in para. 3.
H. visit with his friend, Simon
While he does do this, it’s not his primary purpose.
J. take a vacation
This is incorrect; he is clearly in New York more permanently because Simon asks him if he plans to stay.

4. Things that you will not get credit for:
“It doesn’t make sense”
“It doesn’t sound right”
“It is grammatically incorrect”
Explain WHY it doesn’t make sense, sound right, ungrammatical. Reference specifics.
If the question refers to a specific sentence, write out the sentence.
