D. It was pitch dark and without a moon but Mason fetched us over the grasslands until a dark mass loomed up in front of us.
(1) fetched us over the grasslands until a dark mass loomed up

E. I prodded for an hour in the garret in my house which is stuffed with books.
(1) plunged for an hour in the garret in my house
(2) prodded for an hour in the garret in my house
(3) rummaged for an hour in the garret of my house
(4) searched an hour in the garret of my house
1. When the verb in the ‘if’ clause is in the past the verb in the main clause takes ‘would’ and present tense.
Choice (3)
2. The word ‘also’ is redundant when ‘and’ is used. Only choice 1 does not have this combination.
Choice (1)
3. The simple past tense (overlooked) is correct in the context. Choice (2)
4. The only phrasal verb that is correct is ‘loomed up’. Between 1 and 4 ‘led us’ is better that ‘fetched us’ in the context. Choice (4)
5. When we search through a lot of things the appropriate word is ‘rummaged’ (to move things around carelessly while searching) and not ‘plunged’ or prodded’. Chocie 4 is incorrect because it does not have the preposition ‘for’.
Choice (3)
