1. E

correct usage of "since" ( A , E)

His correctly refers to chemist unlike other options (hence narrow down to E)


For me, E looks correct if I try to substitute it in sentence

2.

E ( Crisp and meaningful)

For Q16,
B, has a pronoun problem, its not clear whoi "HiS" refers to

E is wordy and has pronoun refrence problem

Answer should be A. Critique , is correctly modifed by the phrase before it. the word "Since" is also used correctly here

for Q17,

A. Creates a passive voice here
C. Uses "are" in the sentence.
D,E. That should be used here instead of

The second part is a modifier describing "Essay..." -- it is a critique and also a vision of Davy.

These questions are so old that bad smell is coming out. First one tests concept of appositive and parallelism, second one tests subjunctive.
