OA is B..
(2)
The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center, a complex where final try outs are held for athletes representing the US in the Olympics, is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation for international competition.
A.) is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation
B.) is geared to enhance the performance of athletes and to prepare them
C.) are geared to enhance athletes performance and their preparation
D.) are geared toward the enhancement of athletes' performance and toward preparing them
E.) are geared toward enhancing the performance of athletes and preparing them

OA is E.

What is the difference between capitalization and non-capitalization as it affects "papers" and "Programs" in both questions. I mean if "Federalist papers" had been "Federalist Papers" does it change the tense?

Please I appreciate your contributions.

I cannot understand your doubt, can you please elaborate.

both the problem have similar construction.

noun/noun phrase,modifier,verb+.............

1. The Federalist papers - plural
So it should be "represent", only B and E left.
E - wrong meaning

2. The Sports Medicine Programs - plural
it should be "are" - left with C,D and E
Only E maintains parallelism

I hope this helps !!

In both the cases the subjects referred to are Plurals.
a papers b programs

More so,OA for (2) is E not B.

As for your question,there is no change in tense.Probably you meant S-V error type question this one is.

The original poster has claimed the OA to be E only.

In other words, "The Federalist Papers" and "The federalist papers" both take plural forms.
My confusion stems from the fact that I thought "The Federalist Papers" is a single name,
and thus assumes a singular form.

Any further contribution, please?
