MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What change, if any, should be made in the sentence below?
An increase of greenhouse gases, however, would cause to much of the heat to be
trapped and increase the temperature.
Delete the comma after gases
Change cause to to cause too
Change the comma after however to a semicolon
No change should be made.
Answer explanation
The correct change is to replace 'cause to' with 'cause too'. The word 'too' means 'excessively', which fits the context of heat being trapped. 'To' is incorrect here, as it does not convey the intended meaning.

What change, if any, should be made to the sentence below?
The warming has excelerated during the past two decades.
Change has to have
Insert a comma after warming
Change excelerated to accelerated

What change, if any, should be made to the sentence below?
The concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by about 30% since the start of the industrial revolution in the late 18th century.
Insert a comma after 30%
Change since to during
Change industrial revolution to Industrial Revolution
No change should be made.
Answer explanation
Changing 'since' to 'during' is appropriate because the industrial revolution refers to a specific period, making 'during' a more accurate preposition to indicate the time frame of the increase in carbon dioxide concentration.

What change, if any, should be made in the sentence below?
The suns' energy heats the Earth's surface.
Change Earth's to earths'
Change suns' to sun's
Change heats to will heat
