:blush: I need your help very much for these sentences.

 

Marryland, even though a southern state, remained loyalty to the Union during the Civil War.

 

:eek: Today I am very confuse with the answer of my TOEFL exercise because it tells only what is incorrect but it does not tell what is the right sentences. Anybody help me again ?

1.During early nineteenth century, the building of canals and railroads strengthened the state of Indiana's links with the eastern United States.

2.Sarah Vaughan had a voice like a perfect instrument, and it was an instrument that she knew how to use it with the utmost skill.

3.Massachusetts was first explored in the late sixteenh and early seventeenth centuries, and the first permanent settlement at Plymouth in 1620.

4.Plants require much less moist in cold weather than in warm weather.

 

Thank you very much

even though/conj. -------> even/adv, OR crossing out "even though", we don't need any conjunction there.

If wealthy act as an adjective then it will not be parralel with elegance.

If wealthy act as a noun then it means people who has wealth and again it will not be parralel with elegance.

Elegance is in parallel position with wealth.

The answer is D.
