116、The following appeared in a memo1 from the vice2 president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country.
  "The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago by McAdam Road Builders, is now badly cracked and marred3 by dangerous potholes4. In another part of the state, a section of Route 66, paved by Appian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition. Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art paving machinery5, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because of its superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract with Appian Roadways rather than McAdam Road Builders to construct the access roads for all our new shopping malls."
