• A. Tangled
• B. tangle
• C. tangling
• D. being tangled

Explanation: This is the past participle form of the verb "tangle" used as an adjective here. It means something that is twisted or knotted together in a confused mass.

• A. Rehearsed

3766. Spot the error. The dessert comes freely with the food and is so good that you are in danger of eating too much and blunting your appetite.

• A. Freely
• B. With
• C. So good
• D. Too

Explanation: The word "freely" is used incorrectly here. The intended meaning is likely that the dessert comes "for free" or "complimentary" with the food. "Freely" implies without restriction, which does not fit the context.

3767. Spot the error. Tuition increases, say official, are driven by the universities' costs, consequently, tuition income typically covers less than 50% of college budgets.

• A. By the universities
• B. Consequently
• C. Typically
• D. Less

Explanation: The word "consequently" is used to indicate a result or outcome, which is appropriate here. However, the use of a comma before "consequently" makes the sentence a run-on sentence. A semicolon or a period should be used instead to properly separate the two independent clauses.

3768. Spot the error.I have to run down the street quickly each morning after breakfast in order to catch my bus to school.

• A. Have to
• B. Down the street quickly
• C. After
• D. In order to

Explanation: This phrase is grammatically correct, but the adverb "quickly" is awkwardly placed. A better phrasing would be "quickly down the street" to make the sentence flow more naturally.

3769. Spot the error.If you compare carefully house prices in the two areas, it is quietly amazing how different they are.

• A. Compare carefully
• B. Quietly
• C. How
• D. They are

Explanation: The word "quietly" is incorrectly used in this context. The correct word should be "quite," which means "to a certain extent" or "very." "Quietly" means "in a quiet manner," which doesn't fit the context.

3770. Spot the error. His eyes gained sparkle; his mind, which was adequate if not brilliantly equipped, began to move more adventurously.

• A. Sparkle
• B. Adequate
• C. Brilliantly
• D. More adventurously

Explanation: The correct answer is Option D: "more adventurously." Although it is used correctly as an adverb to describe how his mind began to move, the phrase should be in the past tense, thus it would be better phrased as "moved more adventurously."Option A, "sparkle," is not an error as it correctly describes the brightness in his eyes. Option B, "adequate," is also used correctly to describe the sufficiency of his mind. Finally, Option C, "brilliantly," while an adverb that is correctly placed, suggests a degree of excellence that is outside the context of the sentence. Therefore, the only error is in the use of "more adventurously" in its current form.
