For question 17, the correct answer is "a. was, however, also". The word "however" is an adverb that is used to contrast or indicate a contradiction. Therefore, it should be set off with commas to separate it from the rest of the sentence.
For question 18, the correct answer is "d. no error". The phrase "theories Einstein" is grammatically correct as it states that the theories belong to Einstein.
For question 19, the correct answer is "a. brilliant, creative". Adjectives that are used together to modify a noun should be separated by a comma, ensuring clarity and proper punctuation.
For question 20, the correct answer is "c. blizzards and other dangers,". The coordinating conjunction "and" is used to connect two or more items in a list. In this case, "blizzards" and "other dangers" are both included in the list, so a comma should be used before the conjunction.
For question 21, the correct answer is "d. no error". The phrase "racers nevertheless kept" is grammatically correct, as there is no need for any additional punctuation in this case.
For question 22, the correct answer is "c. result of this decision,". The phrase "result of this decision" functions as a noun phrase and does not require any additional punctuation.
