Question 1

Comparison

Answer 1

When a comparison is introduced by the adverb
“more,” as in “more effectively,” the second part of the comparison must be introduced
by the conjunction “than” rather than “and not.”

Question 2

number

Answer 2

After hours of futile debate, the committee has decided to postpone further discussion of the
resolution until their next meeting.
 The error in this sentence occurs at (D). A pronoun must agree in number (singular or
plural) with the noun to which it refers. Here, the plural pronoun “their” incorrectly
refers to the singular noun “committee.”
 The other options contain no errors. In (A), the preposition “After” appropriately
introduces a phrase that indicates when the committee made its decision. In (B), “to
postpone” is the verb form needed to complete the description of the committee’s
decision. In (C), the prepositional phrase “of the resolution” appropriately specifies the
subject of the postponed discussion.
 The sentence may be corrected as follows: After hours of futile debate, the committee has
decided to postpone further discussion of the resolution until its next meeting
