226. Pablo Picasso, the late Spanish painter, credited African art with having had a strong influence on his work.
(A) with having had
(B) for its having
(C) to have had
(D) for having
(E) in that it had
Answer to Question 226
Choice A is the best. In this sentence, where credit(ed) is used as a verb, the idiom in English is to credit something with having had some effect. Thus only choice A is idiomatic. Both/or (in B and D) and to (in C) can be used idiomatically when credit is a noun, as in "Picasso gave credit to African art for having had a strong influence on his work." The verb form having had is used appropriately in choice A to indicate action that occurred prior to action expressed in the simple past tense--that is, to indicate that African art had influenced Picasso before he credited it with having done so.


227. Judicial rules in many states require that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut the testimony, but the Constitution explicitly requires only that the defendant have the opportunity to confront an accuser in court.
(A) that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut
(B) that the identities of all prosecution witnesses be made known to defendants so that they can attempt to rebut
(C) that the defendants should know the identities of all prosecution witnesses so they can attempt a rebuttal of
(D) the identities of all prosecution witnesses should be made known to defendants so they can attempt rebutting
(E) making known to defendants the identities of all prosecution witnesses so that they can attempt to rebut

Answer to Question 227
In English the subjunctive mood is used to express a wish or requirement that a certain course of action be taken. Such phrasing takes the form to wish [or] require that x be y, not that x should be y or that x is y. Choice B, therefore, is best. In place of the subjunctive, A uses the indicative are and E uses an awkward gerund, making, while C and D contain the unnecessary should. A and C also omit that after so, and D omits that after require. The phrase attempt to rebut is more idiomatic than the phrases that replace it in C and D. Choices C and E awkwardly place the plural noun witnesses between the plural pronoun they and its referent, defendants.

228. Quasars, at billions of light-years from Earth the most distant observable objects in the universe, believed to be the cores of galaxies in an early stage of development.
(A) believed to be
(B) are believed to be
(C) some believe them to be
(D) some believe they are
(E) it is believed that they are

Answer to Question 228
Only B, the best answer, supplies a verb that grammatically connects Quasars and cores: Quasars . . . are believed to be the cores.... Choice A produces a sentence fragment because it omits the verb are and supplies only an adjectival phrase, believed to be .... Choices C, D, and E all introduce new clauses (some believe ..., it is believed...) that cannot grammatically complete the construction begun with Quasars.

229. The colorization of black-and-white films by computers is defended by those who own the film rights, for the process can mean increased revenues for them; many others in the film industry, however, contend that the technique degrades major works of art, which they liken to putting lipstick on a Greek statue.
(A) which they liken to putting lipstick on a Greek statue
(B) which they liken to a Greek statue with lipstick put on it
(C) which they liken to lipstick put on a Greek statue
(D) likening it to a Greek statue with lipstick put on it
(E) likening it to putting lipstick on a Greek statue

Answer to Question 229
Choice E, the best answer, correctly and logically compares the technique of colorization to the act of putting lipstick on a Greek statue. In A, B, and C, the relative pronoun which refers not to the technique but to the noun phrase immediately preceding it, major works of art. As a result, these works are compared to putting lipstick on ... in A, to a Greek statue in B, and to lipstick in C. Choice D corrects this problem by eliminating the which construction and supplying the pronoun it, thus referring clearly to the technique, but it illogically compares the technique to a Greek statue.

230. In reference to the current hostility toward smoking. smokers frequently expressed anxiety that their prospects for being hired and promoted are being stunted by their habit.
(A) In reference to the current hostility toward smoking, smokers frequently expressed anxiety that
(B) Referring to the current hostility toward smoking, smokers frequently expressed anxiety about
(C) When referring to the current hostility toward smoking, smokers frequently express anxiety about
(D) With reference to the current hostility toward smoking, smokers frequently expressed anxiety about
(E) Referring to the current hostility toward smoking, smokers frequently express anxiety that

Answer to Question 230
Choices A, B, and D inappropriately use the past tense verb expressed; only the present tense is logical here, since both the current hostility to which the smokers refer and the anxiety described in the clause their prospects ... are being stunted . clearly apply to the present. Furthermore, B, C, and D produce ungrammatical sentences by introducing this clause with the preposition about; the conjunction that is required to link anxiety with the clause that modifies it. Choice E, the best answer, correctly uses both the conjunction that and the present-tense verb express.
