D for me too.

Looks like foible is being used as the tip of a sword here opposite its base, so I'd go with D, retention as the opposite of something that is vexatious.

I eliminate B, D, and E because "it" is an inappropriate pronoun, regardless of how one may feel about Republicans and Christians, and elimiate A because the they in "demanding that they" is ambiguous. IMO, C.

No referent on "it", so eliminate A, B, and E, "amount that is able to be used" is wordy. IMO, D.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but "the splitting" here functions as a gerund and not a participle. Participles are adjectival in function. Gerunds function exclusively as nouns.

In the late 1880s, the journalist Jacob Riis visited tenement dwellings in several impoverished New York City neighborhoods to investigate housing conditions and photograph immigrant tenants' apartments, whose interiors were inhumanely overcrowded, their floors often serving as beds, and their walls often windowless and dilapidated with age and neglect. IMO A. Having interiors... seems to function as a modifier, modifying Jacob Riis. B and C lack parallell structure.

IMO A as well.

What's wrong w/ B? C sounds awkward to me.

Dead on. I read too quickly and thought "in those" were being compared w/ human runner. I revise answer to C!

IMO C. 1. Incorrect comparison btwn human runners and horses in B, D, and E. 2. Unnecessary "they" in A

IMO B. increase in ultraviolet radiation ... 1) will endanger human health 2) may even threaten

IMO C, and I don't u/s why E'd work. I hope I never get one of these.

In the early songs of the Beatles, one hears plaintive Blues-inspired melodies that would seem to be more a product of rural southern America than an English industrial city.
