公式集、全トピックの解法の要点、6 問の演習問題。完全な解答は巻末にあります。
A recipe states: “For a softer cookie, bake for 8 minutes. For a crisper cookie, bake for 11 minutes.” What can you infer?
A report states: “Patients who received a phone call from a nurse after leaving hospital were less likely to return within 30 days than patients who did not.” Which further information would best help show that the calls caused the difference?
Which sentence uses the possessive of a time expression correctly?
Which sentence correctly punctuates an essential (restrictive) appositive?
Choose the meaning of the word in bold: “The supply room is adjacent to the nurses’ station.”
Choose the meaning of the words in bold: “The patient’s condition is critical but stable.”
答え: D · Longer baking makes the cookies crisper.
The only difference is time: 8 minutes for soft and 11 for crisp, so longer baking produces crisper cookies.
答え: B · Whether patients were randomly chosen to get calls
If patients were randomly assigned to receive calls, other differences would be spread evenly, making it more likely that the calls caused the result.
答え: C · She took a week’s vacation.
Time expressions can be possessive: a week’s vacation, a day’s work. For plurals the apostrophe follows the s: two weeks’ notice.
答え: A · The novelist Toni Morrison won the Nobel Prize.
The name is needed to identify which of many novelists is meant, so it is essential and takes no commas. Commas would suggest there is only one novelist.
答え: C · Next to
Adjacent means next to or adjoining something.
答え: C · Very serious, but not changing at present
Critical means very serious, often life-threatening, and stable means not currently changing.
