Q set ("The formal tradition...")

Passage III corrections..

31. D – No separation needed, so no punctuation
32. H – Again, so separation needed. “That” is restrictive, meaning it’s defining the thing it’s attached to; “which” is non-essential (it adds additional information, just like this parenthetical does, so it will have a comma in front of it).
33. A
34. New sentence (new complete thought), so a comma won’t quite do it. You need a period or semicolon.

35. C - The only conjunction that reflects the relationship between the clauses (that his works are important because he was the first...) is and. You can tell they're looking for understanding of the text and not punctuation because all of the punctuation options are the same.
36. H - Use the -er (comparative) form when comparing two things, -est (superlative) form when comparing more than two. "She is the taller of the twins."
37. D - The comma has to be there to close the phrase; only began makes a complete sentence.
38. G 
39. A
40. G - It starts a new sentence.
41. C - It keeps the focus on the early century and the work of the poets.
42. G - J is grammatically ok, but it's wordy. 
43. A
44. J - Have agrees with the plural subjects. 
45. C - This kind of question can be a time killer. Look at the topic sentences first. In this case, it's obvious that 1 and 2 need to be switched.
