4The survival of coral colonies, which are composed of innumerable tiny
polyps living in a symbiotic relationship with brilliantly colored algae, is being
threatened, experts say, not only by pollutants such as agricultural runoff, oil
slicks, and trash, but also by dropped anchors, probing divers, and global
warming.,
5In attempting to solve the problems caused by a lowering of the price of oil, oil
companies operating in the North Sea have taken a variety of approaches,
which include reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more
efficiently from smaller fields, and finding innovative ways to cut the cost of
building and operating platforms.,

to a telephone system both because the former carries
information in the form of electrical impulses and because all
of its neural pathways converge in the brain and spinal
cord, which together form a kind of central exchange.

(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did
Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to
modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a
quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the
understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice
A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear
referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the

incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and
imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of
location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that
the doubling occurred in 1910.

(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;

In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota
with clauses that are not grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and
illogically makes the where ... clause modify wolf population rather than Minnesota--

that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf remains the
archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a
conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as
a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the
statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best choice, the
parallel construction of where ... and where ... allows both clauses to modify
Minnesota.
