SENTENCE CORRECTION: ALL-IN-ONE PRACTICE QUESTION

This Sentence Correction exercise is much harder than anything you will see on test day. It relies on the following principle; namely, if
a question testing some of the Sentence Correction issues listed in the Official Guide is a good addition to your practice arsenal, then
a question testing all of them could be welcome variation and challenge. As a reminder, the stylistic, grammatical, and syntactical issue
in question are

 Agreement  Idiom  Rhetorical construction

 Diction  Logical Predication  Verb form
 Grammatical construction  Parallelism

This Sentence Correction exercise has been made more challenging by making the wrong answers appear less obviously wrong, and
the right answers appear less obviously right. Yes, you read that correctly-—right answers (plural). In an effort to illustrate the
variability and flexibility of sentences with heavy modification, there are two correct answers among the choices.
