The questions present a sentence, where a part of it is underlined.
Beneath the sentence you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others. This question tests correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.

1. Earth’s lunar satellite, the moon, is an alien and remote though still compelling landscape known to us all.
A. The beauty of such a moment is hard to explain; it’s as if beauty were not actually in the thing itself but lay instead with the viewer’s capacity to appreciate that object.
B. But unearthly beautiful all the same.
C. On a clear night, with a pair of ten-power binoculars, the craters and highlands, the depressions and seas, appear so vividly etched, the pattern of their shadow and light so captivating, that the geography can induce a sensation of joy.
D. We imagine it from our front lawns and our apartment windows as a place of absence. No wind, nor any blade of grass for a breeze to stir, no people, no cascading brook or animal track.
6. When a portion of the moon resolves itself sharply through the binoculars’ prisms, when it comes alive to a viewer’s eyes, he or she can experience a kind of euphoria, which the moon alone cannot explain.

1. The earliest schools of Sanskritists in Europe entered into the study of Sanskrit with more imagination
than critical ability.
A. Then, in those days even, such vagaries as the estimation of Shakuntala as forming the high watermark of Indian philosophy were not altogether unknown!
B. They knew a little, expected much from that little, and often tried to make too much of what little they knew.
C. While criticizing the unsound imaginativeness of the early school to whom everything in Indian literature was rose and musk, these, in their turn, went into speculations, which were equally highly unsound and indeed very venturesome.
D. These were naturally followed by a reactionary band of superficial critics who knew little or nothing of Sanskrit, expected nothing from Sanskrit studies, and ridiculed everything from the East.
6. And their boldness was very naturally helped by the fact that these over-hasty and unsympathetic scholars and critics were addressing an audience whose entire qualification for pronouncing any judgment in the matter was their absolute ignorance of Sanskrit.

1. FitzGerald was a rich dilettante, whose Anglo-Irish mother’s fortune from Irish rents was so large that her husband had changed his name to hers.
A. Though FitzGerald did not join in the imperial venture – and indeed hardly left England – his
translations from Persian and other languages depended on the web of contacts the empire established, and thrived on the knowledge gained from its commercial and political ambitions.
B. As Edward Said pointed out, such interests directed scholarship, however detached the scholars themselves from the profits of imperialism.
C. Archaeologists, linguists, scientists and geographers moved along with the armies of soldiers and civil servants as the British and the French entrenched their rule in the Middle East.
D. FitzGerald, who temperamentally shrank from power and the powerful, played no direct part in this, and often expressed his unease at British ambitions abroad.
6. But when, in 1856, he was first shown Omar Khayyám’s poetry and began working on his Persian in order to translate it, he responded so intensely to its themes because they invoked a dream world a place very far from England.
