Dr. Jones attributed his late arrival to the presidents visit, earlier and with a larger motorcade than usual, which snarled traffic on all the citys major thoroughfares.
(A) presidents visit, earlier and with a larger motorcade than usual, which snarled
(B) presidents visit, it being earlier and with a larger motorcade than usual and snarled
(C) president, which was earlier and with a larger motorcade than usual and thus snarled
(D) president, who was earlier and had a larger motorcade than usual, snarling
(E) presidents visit, earlier and with a larger motorcade than usual, snarling
Modifiers:
I think the late arrival cannot be attributed to president, but instead should be attributed to his visit.. so discard option C and option D (though option D is close..)..
in option B it looks as if presidnet's visit snarled the traffic instead of motocade.. discard option B
of the remaining option, I find option E more appealing becuse of the usage of the word "snarling" instead of "snarled".. however I would have marked option A becoz of the use of commas in the sentence..

Not only does soy milk have more calcium than cows milk does, the calcium in soy milk is more easily digested than cows milk, with more soluble proteins on its membrane.
(A) the calcium in soy milk is more easily digested than
(B) the calcium in soy milk is more easily digested than that of
(C) soy calcium is more easily digested than it is in
(D) soy has calcium more easily digested than that in
(E) soy has a calcium more easily digested than
Comparison:
note the comparison.. "Not only does soy milk have".. this must be maintained in the following parts as well..
option C, D and E are comparing soy's calcium, instead of soy milk's calcium.. I think this is a gap and hence must be discarded..
of the remaining 2 options, option A is not comparing correctly.. easily digested than is incorrect..
so option B must be the correct asnwer..

SD,
I am trying to explain for (2). There is a very nice explanation for this problem in Sahil or Spidey notes. Refer to them for details.
2.Although it claims to delve into political issues, television can be superficial such as
when each of the three major networks broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.
(A) superficial such as when each of the three major networks
(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks
(C) superficial if the three major networks all
(D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks
(E) superficial, as when the three major networks each
B and D can be removed because they sort of chage the meaning besides other issues.
"broadcast" and not "broadcasts" indicates that the subject should be plural. Therefore U can ignore A.
Now we are left with C and E.
There is a rule regarding "each". when it appears after a plural noun, it takes the plural form. In this sentence "when three major n/w each" will be followed by a plural form of verb.
We cannot consider C because "all" means all major networks collaborated to broadcast. But in fact they are all broadcasting separately.
Considering all these E wins. HTH.

Today, despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers, counterfeiting is more difficult than it was at the time of the Civil War, when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit.
a. Today, despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers, counterfeiting is more difficult than it was at the time of the Civil War, when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit.
Ignore the words "despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers" and you can see Today counterfeiting is more difficult than it was at the time of the Civil War, when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit.
here we are comparing today's situation with previous situation "counterfeiting is " --- "it was".
b. Despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers today, counterfeiting is more difficult than it was at the time of the Civil War, when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit.
this sentence is missing "Today" So we are not comparing present time with past so incorrect.
c. Despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers, counterfeiting is more difficult than at the time of the Civil War, when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit.
missing"Today" So we are not comparing present time with past so incorrect.
d. Today, despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers, counterfeiting is more difficult than when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit at the time of the Civil War.
Ignore"despite widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers" and you can seeToday counterfeiting is more difficult than when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit at the time of the Civil War.
This compares Today's situation with previous time "when". Totally Incorrect comparison.
e. Today, because of widely available technology such as high-resolution scanners and printers, counterfeiting is more difficult than it was at the time of the Civil War, when it was estimated that one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit.
This indicates "because of widely available technology" counterfeiting is difficult..which is wrong.
