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.

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.
