The tactile experience is a little different than pen and paper...the marker on the dry-erase sheet is much more slippery ...

In my experience, seeing big swings in a section score tends to indicate a foundational weakness. On one test, you may luck out and avoid the questions that exploit the weakness (for example, setting up equations from awkwardly-phrased sentences), while on another test you may see problems that hit ...

I started with Statement 2. We now know that the fifth exam is worth the same number of points as the first four, but without knowing her current average, we have no way of finding what grade she needs on the last exam. Insufficient. Statement 1 is tempting: surely if you know the average for the fi...

All around a bad sentence, but I don't think D is the best option. The phrase "that characterize its history " at its end is redundant because we're discussing "important themes that characterize its history". If forced, I'd choose B . In the first part: patterns of 1. dynastic r...

The fact that Virgil wrote the Messianic Eclogue is the reason that he is an appropriate guide through hell, so "because" is the best choice. "On account of" is awkward and unidiomatic, and "as" doesn't make sense at all. Between B and C, the simple past "wrote&quo...
