Answers:
148.b. The essential part of a monopoly is that it
involves exclusive ownership or control.
149.d. To harvest something, one must have a crop,
which is the essential element for this item.
Autumn (choice a) is not the only time crops
are harvested. There may not be enough of a
crop to stockpile (choice b), and you can harvest
crops without a tractor (choice c).
150. a. A gala indicates a celebration, the necessary
element here. A tuxedo (choice b) is not
required garb at a gala, nor is an appetizer
(choice c). A gala may be held without the benefit
of anyone speaking (choice d).
151.d. Pain is suffering or hurt, so choice d is the
essential element. Without hurt, there is no
pain. A cut (choice a) or a burn (choice b) may
cause pain, but so do many other types of
injury. A nuisance (choice c) is an annoyance
that may or may not cause pain.
