E - incorrect - two weeks notice is more concise than two weeks' worth of notice

882). (OG 10th Ques No - 41) - OA - E
OE: Choices A, B, C, and D contain tense errors (the use of was never applied with has been required in A, for example), unidiomatic expressions (call... for considering), and uses of a pronoun (it) with no noun referent. By introducing the subordinating conjunction whereby, C and D produce sentence fragments. Only E, the best choice, corrects all of these problems. The predicate has never been applied refers to a span of time, from the writing of the Constitution to the present, rather than to a past event (as was does), and the phrase is required
indicates that the provision still applies. The phrase call... to consider is idiomatic, and to do so can substitute grammatically for it.
