Erin Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 _____________ as children that most people first come in contact with myths. a) That is b) When c) It is d) There are Okay, let's go! First, we notice we need a main subject and a main verb. That leaves us with A), C), and D). Second, our basic TOEFL strategies kick in! We recognize the very common TOEFL pattern: It is ______ that/who(m)... This pattern is VERY important, so get used to it. At TestMagic, we simply call this it... that... Third, we can eliminate A) because That has no referent and creates an illogical sentence. Finally, D) is wrong because There are must be followed by a plural noun (which would be the subject of are; as children CANNOT be the subject of are). Whew! Got it now? Hope so!! Hope that helps! Please post further questions here. Erin Please search this newsgroup for FAQs & search TestMagic.com from the bottom of every page.
