Adapted from “The Nose Tree” in German Fairy Tales and Popular Stories by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm (trans. Taylor, ed. 1864)
Then the king made known to all his kingdom, that whomever would heal her of this dreadful disease should be richly rewarded. Many tried, but the princess got no relief. Now the old soldier dressed himself up very sprucely as a doctor, and said he could cure her. Therefore, he chopped up some of the apple, and, to punish her a little more, gave her a dose, saying he would call to-morrow and see her again. The morrow came, and, of course, instead of being better, the nose had been growing on all night as before; and the poor princess was in a dreadful fright. So the doctor then chopped up a very little of the pear and gave it to her. He said that he was sure that it would help, and he would call again the next day. Next day came, and the nose was to be sure a little smaller. However, it was bigger than when the doctor first began to meddle with it.
Then he thought to him, "I must frighten this cunning princess a little more before I am able to get what I want from her." Therefore, he gave her another dose of the apple and said he would call on the morrow. The morrow came, and the nose was ten times bad as before.
"My good lady," said the doctor, "Something works against my medicine and is to strong for it. However, I know by the force of my art that it is this, you have stolen goods about you. I am certain of it. If you do not give them back, I can do nothing for you."
The princess denied very stoutly that she had anything of the kind.
"Very well," said the doctor, "you may do as you please, but I am sure I am correct. You will die if you do not own it." Then he went to the king, and told him how the matter stood.
"Daughter," said he, "send back the cloak, the purse, and the horn, that you stole from the right owners."
Then she ordered her maid to fetch all three and gave them to the doctor, and begged him to give them back to the soldiers. The moment he had them safe, he gave her a whole pear to eat, and the nose came right. And as for the doctor, he put on the cloak, wished the king and all his court a good day and was soon with his two brothers. They lived from that time happily at home in their palace, except when they took an airing to see the world in their coach with their three dapple-grey horses.
Which is the best form of the underlined selection, "palace, except when they took an airing to see the world in their coach"?

  • b)

The problem with the sentence is the confusing use of the prepositional phrase "in their coach." This is being used adverbially to describe where they would "take an airing." It is not an adjectival prepositional phrase demarcating a particular "world"—i.e. the one that is in their coach (whatever nonsense that might even mean)!

Directions:In the passages that follow, some words and phrases are underlined and numbered. In the answer column, you will find alternatives for the words and phrases that are underlined. If you think that the original version is best, choose “NO CHANGE,”. You will also find questions about a particular section of the passage, or about the entire passage. These questions will be identified either by an underlined portion or by a number in a box. Look for the answer that clearly expresses the idea, is consistent with the style and tone of the passage, and makes the correct use of standard written English. Read the passage through once before answering the questions. For some questions, you should read beyond the indicated portion before you answer.The following paragraphs may or may not be in the most logical order. You may be asked questions about the logical order of the paragraphs, as well as where to place sentences logically within any given paragraph.PassageCare with Cards[1] Does anyone have a real hobby anymore? I must admit I was disheartened when my brother, younger by 10 years, didn’t want to go into the sports card shop with me. (1) We went to a department store instead. Every boy (2) which I have known as a kid had a box in his (3) room, brimming, with cards. Some boys were into basketball and football cards, but my passion was for baseball cards. I couldn’t believe the shocked look on my brother’s face when he saw some of the expensive offerings in the shop’s window display. He just couldn’t appreciate the history behind the cards and the care taken to preserve them over the decades. For him, no piece of cardboard (4) are worth any sum of money. He would rather have a video screen to distract him.[2] 1. (5) I appreciate the arguments in favor of television, video games, and other electronic entertainment.2. The technology is dynamic (6) and, for the most part, engaging.3.There’s indeed something for everyone.4.I also believe, however, that these new forms of entertainment have taken time away from “unplugged” fun.5. (7) A good hands-on hobby should be an important part of any childhood.6. Instead of simple story books, toddlers have interactive learning computers that read for them.7. When children aren’t watching satellite television, they have console games to entertain them.8.It seems to me that more and more of the joys of childhood are being lost to the allure of the video screen.[3] Building a sports card collection is a rewarding endeavor for children and adults (8) alike that is fun for everyone. It teaches quality lessons, such as patience and organization. For young fingers, it develops a careful touch. I remember how hard I tried to slide each card into a plastic sleeve without damaging the delicate corners of the card. Nearly (9) all weekend, there was a card show at the local mall where I learned to bargain and trade for all the cards that I needed to fill the gaps in my collection. Although I very much enjoyed spending time alone looking at the cards, (10) I often shared the experience with others. Card collecting is a social activity (11) too encouraging the old and young to swap cards and stories. Today’s electronic entertainment, however, keeps people apart and does little to benefit developing minds. The video screen silences spectators as it holds their attention (12) to the screen. Television and video games deliver instant gratification. Tune a channel or insert a disc and off you go. Hours and hours of sedentarysatisfaction are at (13) their fingertips![4] I am concerned that this trend toward electronics will lead to less physical activity and make the fun in lifeeffortless and (14) instant available. The younger generation needs to know that pleasure can also come from a hobby that demands patience, care, hard work, and concentration.Q. (6) Which of the following alternatives to the underlined portion would be LEAST acceptable?

Sometimes the cries seem to sound alike, and other times they are as different as night and day. Yet, what do they mean? Recent studies have shown that babies do have unique cries to identify their (2) needs, and interpreting a baby’s vocalizations is not as difficult as it may seem.Perhaps the biggest hurdle in making sense of an infant’s sounds is the parent’s own anxiety and (3) being confused. With a little study and patience, parents can fine-tune their listening skills and sidestep their frustrations.Movement is another way that infants communicate. For many years, scientists have been able to interpret various messages by filming a sequence of movements and then playing (4) those back in slow motion. Three-month-olds who appear to be flailing their arms around randomly are often reaching for something specific, perhaps a toy or a familiar face. Even the youngest infants will move their heads toward a familiar voice, often producing the first glimmer of a smile, clearly communicating (5) happiness, and, comfort.As the baby grows, new utterances emerge that often (6) sounds random and nonsensical.More than likely, however, these noises actually mean something to the baby. An acute observer can often quickly interpret the child’s utterances and reinforce the development of (7) language, whereas a parent who does not pay attention could miss an attempt at communication from her baby. It is easy to imagine how much faster language development will come when a one-year-old feels success and positive reinforcement in his attempts to communicate. (8) Conversely, not being understood can easily create frustration and reactive responses, perhaps partially explaining the onset of the “terrible twos.”Many parents find that sign language can be a valuable tool for the emerging orator (9) who is just learning to speak. A nine-month-old seems to have an easier time mimicking less precise hand movements that she observes than vocalizing the complexities of consonants and vowel sounds. A small repertoire of such hand movements can greatly diminish the anxiety-producing challenge of communicating (10) hunger, tiredness, thirst, and the like. Often, as parents demonstrate a sign to their baby, they will vocalize the word for that sign over and over. Eventually, as the child uses the sign successfully, she will begin to mimic the word that seems to go with it, and eventually drop the use of her hands. (11)Long before a young (12) distinct child is able to speak words, his ability to understand the speech of others is developing. Before a child can say “mama” or “dada,” he may easily be able (13) follow a command such as “Give me the ball” or “Get your blanket.” As the toddler learns the names of objects, people, and actions, a vocabulary explosion begins to occur. (14) Most people believe communication begins when the child is able to use language to express an idea or feeling. (15) By comparison, communication has been going on for much longer. Language development will come sooner and easier if parents respond more consistently to their infant’s communication efforts from day one.Q.
