My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and.................
- A. Myself
- B. Me
- C. Us
- D. We
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'me' is the correct pronoun to use. When a pronoun is the object of a verb, as in this case ('gave to my friend and me'), 'me' is the appropriate choice. 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun and is not suitable in this context. 'Us' is incorrect because the pronoun should be in the objective case. 'We' is incorrect as it is a subject pronoun, not an object pronoun, which is needed in this sentence.

In the following sentence, which word is a direct object: The nurse helped the patient with the medication?
- A. helped
- B. nurse
- C. patient
- D. medication
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the sentence 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication,' the direct object is the recipient of the action performed by the subject. The direct object answers the question 'helped whom?' indicating the recipient of the action. In this sentence, the word 'patient' is the direct object as it is the recipient of the help provided by the nurse. Therefore, 'patient' is the correct choice for the direct object in this sentence.
John F. Kennedy was a senator before he -------------------- president in 1960.
- A. Elected
- B. Was electing
- C. Was elected
- D. Had elected
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Was elected.' This form is the past simple passive voice, which correctly indicates that John F. Kennedy was elected as president in 1960 after serving as a senator. In the sentence, 'was' is the auxiliary verb needed for the passive voice construction. Choice A, 'Elected,' is in the simple past tense but lacks the necessary auxiliary verb 'was' to form the passive voice. Choice B, 'Was electing,' is in the past continuous tense, which is not appropriate for this context. Choice D, 'Had elected,' is in the past perfect tense, which is not suitable here as the action of being elected president occurred after being a senator, not before.
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct. He tried to remember the names of all the people ___ were there that night.
- A. Whose
- B. That
- C. Whom
- D. which
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: The correct choice is "whom." In the sentence, "whom" is used as the object of the verb "were." "Whom" is the objective case form of "who," used for objects of verbs or prepositions. "Whose" (A) is possessive, "that" (B) is a relative pronoun that doesn't fit the context, and "which" (D) refers to things, not people. Therefore, "whom" is the only option that correctly identifies the object in the sentence.
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: The student sang well, but she danced __________.
- A. bad
- B. badly
- C. poorly
- D. poorer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'badly' should be used to describe how she danced, as it is an adverb that modifies the verb 'danced.' Adverbs describe how an action is performed, while adjectives describe nouns. Therefore, the correct choice is 'badly' to show that her dancing performance was not good. Using 'bad' or 'poorly' as adjectives would imply that her dancing ability itself was of low quality, rather than how she performed the action of dancing. 'Poorly' could also be considered correct, but 'badly' is a more appropriate and common adverb to use in this context.
Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Tracey wore her hair in a French braid, which was the style at the time.
- A. among
- B. it
- C. that
- D. which
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence, the word 'which' correctly introduces a defining clause specifying that the French braid was the style at the time. 'Which' is commonly used to provide additional information about a noun. In this context, 'which' indicates that the French braid was the specific style being referred to at that time. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D - which'.
