34. I think it must be 'on account of' which means 'because of'. Good luck!

Great, Wasleys! Could you explain the sentence 28? I also feel confused about the difference between 'as' and 'like'. Thanx!

1. Radio reception is adversely affected by electricity, whether it be naturally occurring or man-made. - Why 'be' here? I'm really confused :hmm: 2. All airlines offer special services for minors traveling unattended. - I think it should be 'unattendedly'. But this is quite a correct sentence :mad: 3. State unemployments departments bear the responsibility of providing monthly payments to those unable to find a job. - The answer is 'unemployments' but I'm still confused. Why 'responsibility of' here, why not 'for'? (The same problem with 'ability to' and 'ability of' which I cannot distinguish) Plz help!

Great, Wasleys [clap]. But I'm still a bit confused about the objects following 'up' and 'upward'. An example: The wind pushes the sand up the dune. But can we use 'upward' here? Thanks!!! :)

Yes, I agree with you. Thank you very much!

Uhm, I thought that 'sponges' is uncountable, if so we cannot use 'have'. But the answer in the book is C. Any help?

Thanks all, I've just found some answers for my questions and I'd like to post here - We have to use 'the' in 'the poem AAAAA', 'the book BBBB' but we can omit 'the' for certain job titles such as philanthropist :D. Hence 'philanthropist XXXXX' is correct. - Maya Angelou, born Marguerite Johnson,... means when she was born her name was Marguerite Johnson :D Regards

Hi all, In my TOEFL book, there is a question like this: Sponges have neither heads nor separate body organs. My answer is A, but the correct answer is C. (Actually I thought "Sponges" was wrong because I thought "sponge" was only uncountable.) But I don't understand why C is the correct answer. Could anybody explain to me? Thanks!

I think D is incorrect since 'whose production of a wealth of eulogies to Canadian rural life.' is not a clause, right?

I think the correct choice is C. In this sentence we have 1 verb 'were', so after the comma we need 'and produced' or 'producing' -> C. :tup:

Hi everyone, I'm a new comer. I'd like to ask a few questions about grammar as follows: 1) I encountered the following sentence in a sample test of TestMagic: Maya Angelou, born Marguerite Johnson, is best known for her works of prose and poetries. I'm confused about ', born Marguerite Johnson,'. Does it mean 'who born Marguerite Johnson'? Generally, in what cases we can omit 'who/which/that', in what cases we cannot? 2) I saw in the sample tests: philanthrpist John (without 'the') the poem Crash (with 'the') So, why the second one has 'the' while the first doesn't? 3) What is the differences between 'up' and 'upward'? 'up' goes with an object but 'upward' doesn't, right? Thank you very much! Best regards
