3521. During late summer evenings, we would sit on the pouch, swing and rock very slow.

• A. During
• B. late summer
• C. on the pouch
• D. very slow

Explanation: This is the error. The adverb "slowly" should be used instead of "very slow." Adverbs typically end in -ly, and in this context, "very slowly" is the correct form.

3522. Seldom the barriers between the races seem less in evidence than on this language leading team

• A. the barriers
• B. less
• C. in evidence
• D. this language-leading

Explanation: This is the error. The original sentence lacks subject-verb inversion required for a proper construction. In formal English, when starting a sentence with an adverbial phrase like "Seldom," the subject and the auxiliary verb are inverted. In normal conversation auxiliary verb are used after subject (He seldom does/subject + seldom + auxiliary verb) but when adverbial phrase comes in start of sentence auxiliary verb comes before the subject (Seldom does he/ Seldom + Auxilliary verb + Subject). The corrected version starts with "Seldom do," where "do" is the auxiliary verb. OR you can simply bring "the barriers between the races" before the adverb "seldom" as: The barriers between the races seldom seem less evident than on this language-leading team.So, the corrected sentence is: "Seldom do the barriers between the races seem less in evidence than on this language-leading team."
