  　　1.The correct answer is D

  　　Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the awkward and misused “both … and” construction with the much simpler “as well as.”

  　　2.The correct answer is E

  　　Choice (E) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by removing the unnecessary pronoun “They,” and by using a well-constructed phrase, “The color and flavor … are …

  　　3.The correct answer is D

  　　Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the preposition “Like” with the conjunction “as.” In this sentence, two clauses, “machinery was integral to the development of industrial capitalism” and “the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business” are being compared, so a conjunction is required to link them. A preposition cannot link clauses. The adverb “Just” here completes the correlative construction “Just as…. so….” and adds emphasis to the similarity between the two statements being compared.

  　　4.The correct answer is C

  　　Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the modification error of the original by placing the subject of the sentence, “American artist Willem de Kooning” directly after the modifying phrase “Combining both figurative and abstract elements in his paintings.”

  　　5.The correct answer is A

  　　Choice (A) is correct. It avoids the errors of the other options by using a main verb, “is,” to link the subject of the sentence, “Rote learning,” to a description of the ways in which this type of learning is used.

  　　6.The correct answer is E

  　　Choice (E) is correct. It avoids the sentence fragment error of the original by providing a main verb, “was,” to express a complete thought.
