Answer：

3. Choice A, which is both idiomatic and concise, is best. In choice B, to contract is wrong because the phrase are in danger must be followed by of, not by an infinitive. The phrase have a danger is unidiomatic in C. In D, the phrase by contraction trypanosomiasis requires of after contraction; even if this correction were made, though, the passive construction in D would be unnecessarily wordy and also imprecise, because it is the disease more than the act of contracting it that poses the danger. In E, have a danger is again unidiomatic, and the to that clause following the phrase is, within the structure of the sentence, ungrammatical and awkward.

4. In this sentence, the first noun of the main clause grammatically identifies what is being compared with a funded pens ion system; to be logical, the comparison must be made between comparable things. Only E, the best choice, compares one kind of system of providing for retirees, the funded pension system, with another such system. Social Security. Choices A, C, and D all illogically compare the pension system with the approach taken by Social Security itself. In B, the comparison of pension system with foundation is similarly flawed.
