The author considers polynomials of the form \(f(x)=x^ p+ a(x+1)\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\) when \(p\) is prime and \(p\) divides \(a\), and obtains conditions on \(a\) which imply that the Galois group \(G\) of \(f(x)\) is the symmetric group \(S_ p\). The technical difficulty arises in showing that \(G\) contains a transposition.
