I don't think that E is correct. The author clearly states "However, doctors warn against employment of this simple strategy for recurring or particularly long-lasting headaches, even if such medication can provide relief." It means that the medicine is able to provide some relief from the...

I have a doubt with the correct answer choice B. It states, "as the full moon exploded into view...". Does this not mean that the moon itself exploded? Without any comma, how can we assume that the star was the object that exploded? With option D, we find that the two structures "expl...

Users and experts are welcome to provide their suggestions: A.Although at one time children’s programming had been limited to a few hours a week, now, however, there are at least four cable networks that dedicate themselv...
