Explanation:

This sentence does not contain any errors. Answer choice (A) has no error since the adjective 'inspired' is correctly used. Choice (B) also has no error since the possessive pronoun "their" is correctly used with the phrase "dull televisions." Choice(C) has no error because "into a world" is a grammatically correct idiom. The answer (D) also has no error since"at once" is a grammatically correct i meant to mean "simultaneously."

The correct answer is(E)

2.

Explanation:

This sentence deals with the proper use of pronouns. In order for the sentence to be grammatically correct, all of the pronouns must agree with each other. The error is in the answer choice (B), because the pronoun used "we" does not agree with the pronoun used later in the sentence "one". The choice (A) has no error since it correctly uses the preposition "to" with a verb. The choice (C) also does not contain an error Since familiar joins With the preposition "with" to create a correct idiom. The choice(D) has no error since "them" refers correctly to"methods." The correct answer is (B).

3.

Explanation:

The error can be found in answer(B). The sentence incorrectly uses the present perfect tense "have become." However, since the action is established to have occurred in the past due to the mention of "in the 1960s," the verb also needs to be in the past to agree. Therefore, the correct version of the sentence would include "became", instead of "have become". There is no error in answer choice (A), because the adjective "upbeat" properly modifies the noun "advertisements". As well there is no error in (C) because the word "to" is correctly used as part of the infinitive "to achieve", which properly follows the conjugated verb "trying". There is no error in choice (D) because the preposition "during" correctly introduces the time "the 1970s."

The correct answer is (B).

4.

Explanation:

Choice (A) identifies a time period "by" which certain events had already taken place; however, the rest of the sentence conveys a different meaning, because the simple past tense, "used," conveys actions that occurred in a period of time. The word "by" should be "in". Choice (B) clarifies whose ideas are being discussed, and which ideas these are identified vaguely as the"first" ideas), appropriately using the masculine "his" to refer back to Julius Caesar. Choice (B) can be eliminated. Choice (C) can also be eliminated as it elaborates on how Julius Caesar popularized his first ideas. Choice (C) answers the question "How?" that could be posed partway through the sentence. Choice (D) can be ruled out as it refers back to "ways" and leads into a description.

The correct answer is(A).

Explanation:

In this sentence, we are given a verb ("are") and two participles "extending" and "decaying". We can start by checking whether the verb matches its subject and the participles modify what they are intended to modify The verb in choice (B), in fact, is in error, because it is a grammatically plural verb that is intended to correspond to the word "chain," which is grammatically singular. The verb should be "is". Meanwhile, "extending" refers clearly and sensibly to "chain", while decaying refers clearly and sensibly to "their ruins". Since the ruins belong to the plural word "cities", the use of the plural pronoun "their" in choice (C) is Correct.

Explanation:

For the Second blank, we need a word describing a quality that can be contrasted with "out of the ordinary" (which means unusual) but isn't its opposite. Out of possible answers, we have two first words that seem to fit the blank: choice (C) "headstrong", and choice (E), 'itinerant', "Headstrong" means "very stubborn", while "itinerant" means"traveling from place to place". We could choose either of them, so we need to examine the second word. Choice (C) "aberrant," means "unusual or abnormal," and is too similar to "out fo the ordinary" to fit the second blank. Choice (E), "characteristic," which means "typical" (in this case, of whales), fits perfectly, so we should choose this answer.

The correct answer is (E)

7.

Explanation:

This sentence involves two opinions: that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and that they were cold-blooded. For the first blank, we need a word describing this difference, something like"contrast." In the second part of the sentence, we see that the opinion that they were cold-blooded does something to evidence in the fossil record (a fossil is a sign of a living being from ancient times, preserved in rock). Since we know that scientists proposed this notion "in order to" do this thing to evidence, we can assume it would be positive, probably along the lines of confirming it. Looking at the answers, we have three words that refer to the conflict of views: choice(A) "contrast with," choice (C), "a challenge to", and choice (E), "departure from." We should exclude choice (C), since the SAT would say "as a challenge" rather than in a challenge also, we know that the new view was proposed in order to do something with evidence, not to challenge the old one. Choices (A) and (E) are both suitable, so we need to look at the second words in them Choice (A) "unearth," means "to find something that was buried in the earth, and although the question does refer to fossils, it doesn't make sense when we're talking about doing something to evidence. Choice (E), "account for," means" provide an explanation for," and it fits in this context.

The correct answer is (E)

Explanation:

In this sentence the media is being compared to an electrical circuit. The point of the comparison is that the circuits amplify some signals and dampen others. Since "amplify and "dampen" are opposites in that context, we understand, then, that we are expecting words to say that media outlets do opposite things with different sources. Only one of our choices presents opposites: heeds and ignores. To heed means to pay attention to and take notice of. To ignore means to refuse to take notice or acknowledge. This is our correct answer. Three of the other choices have word sets that are either both negative or both positive, or that have similar meanings. "To report" something and to "confirm" it are both positive, and to "confirm" is only slightly more intense than to "report". To "deflect" means to change the direction of something by providing interference, and "obstruct" means to block. These are both negative and imply that something has been kept from its original path. To "promote" means almost the same as to "advance." And "avoids" and "stymies" are both negative, as "stymie" means to prevent or hinder the progress of something.

The correct answer is (C).

Explanation:

Reading this sentence, we can see that the candidate made some promises that left little doubt. It means they were clear and easy to understand, and the word describing those qualities is what we need to fill this blank. Out of the possible choices, only choice (B), "straightforward," describes this sort of quality. "Straightforward" means "not complicated, easy to understand". Other words are suggesting something opposite: "elusive" means"hard to find," "obtuse" means "slow to understand", and "defective" means "imperfect".

The correct answer is(B).

10.

Explanation:

Since we know that there was no funding available, we can infer that scientist's belief is rather unrealistic and that's the kind of word we need for the blank. Out of possible answers, both "quixotic" and "capricious" could mean unrealistic. However, "quixotic" is more connected to pursuing ideals, while "capricious" means always changing and hard to predict. Since we're talking about "great public health benefits" here, we should choose the word connected to ideals.

The correct answer is (A).
