English Sentence Correction QUESTION #4896
Question 1
A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims _____ more than three hundred personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.
  • from a one-page writing sample that it can assess
  • from a one-page writing sample it has the ability of assessing
  • the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing
  • to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Claims to be able…to assess' is the proper idiomatic construction. Option A misplaces the modifier 'from a one-page writing sample' before the 'that' clause. Options B and C use non-idiomatic constructions. Option E would produce a dangling participial phrase.
