Explanation of the answer

7.      The answer is C

10.  The answer is B

11.  The answer is A

Explain: After the question word in an embedded question, the order is subject + verb.

12.  The answer is A

Explain: Because the answer B is incorrect because” let” is followed by the verb in simple form, not an infinitive. The answer C is incorrect because after “because” there must be a clause and the word “permitting” sets up a phrase not a clause. The answer D is incorrect the order is incorrect. After the subject of the second clause, somebody must appear the verb, not another noun phrase. Also, documentation is a noun-count noun and is not made plural.

13.  The answer is C

Explain: After the verb “resented” there must be a noun phrase or a clause. It would also have been correct to say “resented the president for not informing them of the meeting” remember that after a verb that requires a gerund in the subordinate clause, any noun must be possessive. “Informing” is a gerund because of “resented”.

14.  The answer is D

Explain: After a limiting word “only” introduces a sentence.
