Even i got score and a feedback screen after submitting it. Once u submit u will get review screen where u can see right and wrong answers. I got 4 correct with 80 score. So each question carries 20 marks with no -ve marks for incorrect ones.

Same thing happen with me. Please check whether you provided the feedback. If not then you will not see score. To see score you need to submit the feedback.

To All who gave the test :

The question : "The relaxed rules for health claims allowed supplement marketers to target messages to the specific concerns of the 80 million "baby boomers" who, as they reached middle age, became even more interested in self-care, distrustful of conventional medicine, and more resentful of the increasingly impersonal nature of the managed health care system.

the correct answer says :

>became even more interested in self-care, more distrustful of conventional medicine

My question :

Does the non-underlined part anyhow conveys that they were distrustful before ? How can we add "more" before distrustful ? Doesn't it change the meaning ?


IMO "distrustful of conventional medicine" is a parallel element in itself and is correct. As far as logical ||ism is concerned, I think that there is some ambiguity here. We cannot be sure that they were distrustful before and became "more distrustful" after.

I know that the quiz wanted to test ||ism here, but this addition of an extra word changes the meaning.
Regards,
Harsha

Bhai, I don't have other options now. have logged of the site.

But, according to the quiz, the original sentence (option A) :

-> became even more interested in self-care, distrustful of conventional medicine

was incorrect.

The correct answer said :

->became even more interested in self-care, more distrustful of conventional medicine

is that extra more needed? Doesn't it change the meaning? (see my previous post).

Harsha

Sentence

Although President Theodore Roosevelt claimed that he did not need Secret Service
protection, he later revolted against the congressional action, which denied political entities
the use of the government's best enforcement agents.

Choice A
Although President Theodore Roosevelt claimed that he did not needed Secret Service protection,

Choice C
Although President Theodore Roosevelt had claimed that he did not need Secret Service protection,

Choice A = Simple Past Tense for Verb - Claim
Choice C = Past Perfect Tense for Verb - Claim


We know that Past perfect tense is used only when the other information in the sentence does not clarify the sequencing of related events that occur at different time in the past.

Firstly, the 2 events - President claimed & he revolted are related. Both events occur in the past and at different times. Claimed happened first and revolted happened next. Thus use of past perfect tense for the verb claim may be correct.

However, the word "later" in the non-underlined portion of the sentence, clarifies this sequence of events and hence we do not need to use past perfect tense.

And hence Choice A is correct.
