Multiple choice

Only those students are selected for the event who are older than eighteen and those who are taller than six feet.

 

Each of the sentence correction questions presents a sentence, part or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. Follow the requirements of standard written English to choose your answer, paying attention to grammar, word choice and sentence construction. Select the answer that produces the most effective sentence; your answer should make the sentence clear, exact and free of grammatical error. It should also minimize awkwardness, ambiguity and redundancy.
