Под каждым предложением – пять вариантов ответа (каждый из них призван «исправить» подчеркнутую часть). Первый вариант (Choice A) повторяет оригинальное предложение (то есть то, что вы видите в задании). Остальные варианты – вариации на тему исходного предложения. Если оригинал вам кажется правильным, остановите свой выбор на первом варианте ответов. Если же в первоначальном предложении вы нашли ошибку, выбирайте один из оставшихся вариантов.

Помните, что задания этого типа проверяют ваше знание основных правил английской грамматики и словоупотребления. Они не нацелены на проверку ваших знаний английской пунктуации или орфографии.

Вопросы из раздела Sentence Correction проверяют, насколько хорошо вы владеете знаниями в области письменного СТАНДАРТНОГО английского языка. Речь идет о формализованном, деловом языке, который встречается в учебниках и периодических изданиях. Английский язык по природе своей очень краткий, выразительный и лаконичный.
