Geologists recently discovered that the stress placed by gravity on the fabric of the sand interlocks the particles

in sedimentswhich, in
turn, forms structures that are majestic and resilient, such as the Delicate Arch in Utahs Arches National Park.
1) The singular verb forms is incorrect since the relative pronoun modifier refers to the
plural noun sediments.
2) Since such as gives us an example of structures, it should be placed as close to
structures as possible.

to form, in turn, structures that are majestic and resilient

Incorrect:

1) Since such as gives us an example of structures, it should be placed as close to structures as possible.

2) Also, the use of to form is incorrect here since to + verb is used to show the purpose/intention of something. However, the action
of interlocking sand particles into sediments does not happen with the intention of creating these structures.

As the city council wants to cut down the citys average yearly expenditure on its power supply to buildings housing public sector
offices, the council members opine that the city council will easily slash its current expenditure to half if they would replace the air-
conditioning units that had been currently in use with more environment-friendly ones.

Error Analysis
1) The plural pronoun they does not agree in number with its singular noun antecedent
council.
2) This sentence uses the if then construction. The then clause the city council will
easily slash in the non-underlined portion of the sentence is written in the simple future
tense. This requires the if clause to be written in the simple present tense. Hence the use of
would is incorrect.
3) Also use of past perfect tense verb had been is incorrect because the air-conditioning units
are currently in use.

Incorrect:

1) This choice retains the verb tense error of Choice D. Use of the conditional verb were to is incorrect because the then clause is
written in the simple future tense.

2) Use of the simple past tense verb were is incorrect because the air-conditioning units are currently in use.
Planned reduction in orders for components for the iPhone 5 is due to weaker-than-expected
demand because Apples share of world-wide smartphone shipments have declined from 23% to
14% since last year while Samsungs share has steadily increased from 8.8% to 31% during the
same period.

because of weaker-than-expected demand: Apples share of world-wide smartphone shipments declined

Incorrect:

1) Use of because of is incorrect because it modifies the noun entity Planned reduction. Due to should be used to modify nouns.

2) Use of the simple past tense verb declined is incorrect because the word since has been used to show that the decline in
shipments started in the recent past and may still be continuing. Hence we need the present perfect tense.
