1. themselves -> them

the animals did not carry themselves but the people

them relates to the people

 

2. not sure

 

A, D is nonsence

B: it has been known long as ...

C: it has long been known as ...

 

Because long is adverb of time and it is usually placed after the first aux. verb, I would guess C

 

3. not sure again

A : nonsence because only + either can't be used together

B : nonsence because first sentence would have to be negative here

C : only ... instead

 

Specially stores, unlike department stores, handle only one line of merchandise instead a limited number of closely related lines.

 

D : unlike ... only ... or

 

Specially stores, unlike department stores, handle only one line of merchandise or a limited number of closely related lines.

 

I would guess D, it makes sence because in C the department stores have

quite a number of related lines but the special stores (not specially) have one or a limited number.

 

4. D not , just put it into the sentence

5. D like -> as

 

Please if anyone knows questions 2 and 3 give us your explanation.

1. themselves

2. long been known as - i don't know the reasoning, but it just sounds better and correct :)

3. or - it can't be "instead" becuz then the sentence should read "instead of". sentence doesn't have a "of".

4. not

5. like

 

look i culdnot agree with you more but my guestion here

how we can make any different between as , like

and what the difference between

none , not

i know none of them

not + verb

does this the rule here ,,, or how???

 

thanks in advanc
