Choice B is the best answer. When setting off nonessential 
information, a pair of parentheses needs to be used. This 
choice provides the initial parenthesis that the parenthesis after 
“municipality” requires.

Choice A is incorrect because the initial parenthesis is missing and 
no comma is needed between the noun “quantities” and the modifying 
information. Choice C is incorrect because the initial parenthesis is 
missing. Choice D is incorrect because no semicolon is needed before 
the parenthetical information.
QUESTION 5
Choice D is the best answer. According to the information from the graph, 
33 million tons of food waste were discarded in US landfills in 2009, 
which is consistent with the discussion of food waste in the passage.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the passage thus far has 
focused on compost. Metal, rubber, leather, and textiles are not 
materials that are composted.
QUESTION 6
Choice C is the best answer. According to the graph, this is the only 
choice that makes the sentence true. More food waste was discarded in 
landfills in 2009 “than any other substance, including plastics or paper.”
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they are not true, according 
to the graph. The graph indicates that less glass, metal, and yard waste 
were discarded in the landfills than plastics and paper.
QUESTION 7
Choice B is the best answer. No comma is needed between the 
comparative adjective “worse” and the comparative conjunction “than.”
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the word “then” indicates 
“when” and is not used in comparisons (choices A and C), and no 
comma is needed after worse (choice D).
QUESTION 8
Choice C is the best answer. The present tense singular verb “contributes” 
agrees in number with the singular noun “material,” and the present tense 
verb is consistent with the other present tense verbs in the passage.
Choices A and B are incorrect because “contribute” (choice A) and “are 
contributing” (choice B) are plural present tense verbs. Choice D is 
incorrect because “have contributed” is a plural past tense verb.
