Harrison had math test last Wednesday. He studied really well and thought that he did really good. When he walked into school today, Harrison’s teacher looked at him strangely. Harrison started to sweat, because he assumed the teacher’s expression meant he did poorly on the test. Harrison began to wonder wear he went wrong. The teacher walks around the room and handed out the graded assessments. Then the teacher, who had been walking around the room, paused in front of Harrison’s desk, and Harrison thought that he must of performed worst on the test than the rest of the class had. Then, to Harrison’s surprise, the teacher smiled, exclaiming that Harrison had scored one hundred percent.

What is the best way to revise the bolded and underlined portion of the passage?

Your answer:

The teacher was walking

Your answer:

The teacher had walked

Your answer:

The teacher walks (no change)

Your answer:

The teacher would walk

Correct answer:

The teacher walked

Explanation:

The original phrase "The teacher walks" is incorrect because the tense of the verb does not agree with the rest of the passage. The rest of the passage and the other verb in the sentence are in the past tense, but the verb "walks" is in the present. As such, the statement must be revised to include the past tense. The answer choices "The teacher was walking", "The teacher would walk", and "The teacher had walked" are all incorrect because though they indicate some form of the past tense, they are in the imperfect, conditional, and past perfect respectively. These grammatical forms all differ from the other verb in the sentence, which is in the basic past tense. As such, they do not agree with the rest of the sentence and are incorrect.

1 The recruitment of elite athletes by American universities has recently reached new levels of both sophistication and it is very competitive. The benefits of having top-quality athletic programs are obvious: massive television revenues, marketing deals with major corporate sponsors, and increased alumni donations. However, the desire to achieve these riches ledmany colleges to sanction practices that are both ethically and legally questionable.

2 Colleges have traditionally made allowances in their admission standards for athletes who might not have otherwise been academically qualified. In recent years, however, several cases of outright academic fraud have been uncovered at major American universities. These include fraudulent transcripts, fictitious online coursework, and the increasingly common practice of having a star athlete repeat a grade or two in order to achieve a higher grade point average.

3 The recruitment of potential college athletes is also starting at a much earlier age as it was before. Some football and basketball players have been given scholarship offers before they enroll in high school. The presence of various types of social media also plays a large role in the recruiting process. Of course, the offers are non-binding, and oftentimes, the athletes in question do not actually attend the school at all.

4. It would be a good idea for the leaders of American universities to remind themselves of the academic mission of their institutions before they allow the pursuit of money and fame to corrupt them. Success on the playing fields is a noble goal, but not if it comes at the cost ignoring the true purpose of higher education.

What is the best choice to replace the bolded and underlined phrase?

Your answer:

(no change)

Your answer:

competitively.

Your answer:

competition.

Correct answer:

competitiveness.

Explanation:

Parallelism requires that the word that comes after the coordinator "and" needs to be the same part of speech as the word that precedes it. "Sophistication" is an adjective, so the correct answer choice "competitiveness" should also be an adjective.
