I just worked on the first problem Set of Manhattan GMAT SC Guide and i now i have two questions:
1. The book says that "She is the most dedicated gardener on the block, every day watering the more than 50 plants in her yard." is a perfectly fine sentence.
However back in highschool i think i learned some rule "location before time"...meaning that a location reference should always come before a time reference in a sentence. So I would expect the sentence to be better like this:
"She is the most dedicated gardener on the block, watering the more than 50 plants in her yard every day."
Would you agree with me that the second sentence sounds better than the first one? Or is there no difference at all?
My second question concerns this sentence:
"Students at Carver High School are encouraged to pursue extracurricular activities such as student government, sports and the arts."
...excuse me? "the arts"??? is that really correct? Why "the" in front of arts?
Thanks for lightening me up
