Questions and Answers 100% Solved


(1) Seaweed-based fuel could one day power your car. (2) It is more than

just an ingredient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll. (3) According to

new research, seaweed has the potential to become an advanced biofuel

known as biobutanol.

(4) In the past, U.S. scientists have looked to the possibility of algae-based

biofuels, but most of these explorations have shied away from kelp and

seaweed. (5) One reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a

potential fuel source

is the fact that it's not a major part of American culture. (6) In contrast, in

Asian countries such as Japan, there has been a long history of seaweed

in the cuisine. (7) Japanese researchers are much more familiar with it and

have spent decades studying its potential uses.

(8) A second reason for the U.S. avoidance of seaweed-

based biofuel is the country's lack of experience with seaweed farming. (9)

The U.S. is no stranger to seaweed harvesting - ✔✔Choice (C) is correct.

The new sentence must be a logical and grammatical combination of the

existing sentences, which indicate that "Seaweed-based fuel could one day

power your car" and that "It" (presumably, seaweed) "is more than just an

ingredient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll." Only (C) properly orders

the two claims, first expressing that "Seaweed is more than just an

ingredient . . ." and then, following a correct use of a semicolon to join two

related independent clauses, narrowing the focus to "seaweed-based fuel."

The other choices introduce errors: choice (A) creates a comma splice (two

independent clauses joined by only a comma), choice (B) provides an

illogical cause-effect statement, and choice (D) contains a vague pronoun

("it").

is the fact that it's not a major part of American culture.(6) In contrast, in

Asian countries such as Japan, there has been a long history of seaweed

in the cuisine. (7) Japanese researchers are much more familiar with it and

(8) A second reason for the U.S. avoidance of seaweed-

based biofuel is the country's lack of experience with seaweed farming. (9)

The U.S. is no stranger to seaweed harvesting. - ✔✔Choice (B) is correct.

The new sentence, "There are a number of possible reasons for this,"

needs to fit logically and grammatically between two existing sentences.

Sentence 4 states that American scientists have "shied away from," or

ignored, kelp and seaweed as possible biofuels. Sentence 5 notes "One

reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a fuel source." Later in the

passage, sentence 8 provides "A second reason for the U.S. avoidance of

seaweed-based biofuel." The new sentence fits logically and grammatically

between sentences 4 and 5 because it introduces the reasons for "this"

(American scientists' neglect of kelp and seaweed as potential fuel

sources)— reasons that are provided in the following sentences. On the

contrary, if choices (A), (C), or (D) were chosen as the answer, "this" would

refer to other things for which no reasons are given.
