参考答案和解析:
1.The correct answer is E
Explanation
There is no error in this sentence.
2.The correct answer is A
Explanation
The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where awkward phrasing and an unnecessary pronoun create a comma splice. The entire phrase “It depends on” can be reduced to “Depending on.”
3.The correct answer is E
Explanation
There is no error in this sentence.
4.The correct answer is A
Explanation
The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where a comma splice is created. To fix the comma splice, “It weaves” should be changed to “Weaving.”
5. The correct answer is A
Explanation
The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where an inappropriate verb form makes the sentence a fragment. The verb “fall” should be used in place of “falling.”
6. The correct answer is B
Explanation
The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is an inappropriate verb form. To match the past tense established and used elsewhere in the sentence (“Once,” “replaced”), the past-tense “became” is needed.
7. The correct answer is C
Explanation
The error in this sentence occurs at (C), where an inappropriate pronoun creates a comma splice. The relative pronoun “which” should be used instead.
8.The correct answer is C
Explanation
The error in this sentence occurs at C. The plural verb “have” does not agree with the singular subject “writer” and should be replaced with the singular verb “has.”
