Example Question #11 : Praxis Core Skills: Writing
Replace the underlined portion with the answer choice that results in a sentence that is clear, precise, and meets the requirements of standard written English
She carefully reviewed her case notes, such as not to be surprised in court.
Possible Answers:
therefore
thus
so
such
Correct answer:
so
Explanation:
The highlighted conjunction in this sentence is incorrect. "Such" is used to indicate a result, whereas "so" is used (as a conjunction) to indicate purpose. Because the sentence is discussing someone's precautionary measure, the correct conjunction here is "so". "She carefully reviewed her case notes, so as not to be surprised in court."
