I am having lots of problems revising sentences. (GED help)

0 Everytime I see a question like this:02br
02br
00I.e. 02br
02br
00Sentence 10: 01b00The printing press may be the single most important invention ever made and yet exception may be taken to that if you consider the personal computer.02br
02br
02b
00The most effective revision of sentence 10 would include which group of words?02br
02br
00(1) made, yet taking exception to that02br
00(2) Either the printing press or the personal computer is the single most important02br
00(3) Taking exception to the printing press being02br
00(4) made except, perhaps, for the personal computer02br
00(5) made, yet considering the perosnal computer02br
02br
00Correct answer was option (4).02br
02br
00Well, I got this question correct on the practice test, but if I see anymore questions that look like this, I'll end up guessing on most of them. These questions confuse me. Are there any tips anyone could give me to help me analyze and revise these questions without wasting too much time ?0-

0 Yes, I always do that method, but I always end up having to guess between 2 or even 3 possible answers. After correcting my mistake, I try to read why my answer was wrong but the book doesn't give enough details; I wouldn't be able to understand it myself.0-
