Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: The college ___ he chose is in New York.
- A. which
- B. that
- C. who
- D. what
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'that.' In this context, 'that' is the most appropriate word to use as it introduces a defining relative clause. It specifies which college is being referred to. 'Which' is typically used in non-defining relative clauses, 'who' is used for people, and 'what' is used for objects or things. The sentence needs a word to introduce a restrictive relative clause that narrows down the specific college being referred to, making 'that' the best choice.

"There is no real distinction among the two treatment protocols recommended online."
- A. real
- B. among
- C. protocols
- D. online
Correct Answer: B

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: The hospital is located ______ the top of the hill.
- A. of
- B. off
- C. in
- D. on
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The preposition 'of' is the correct choice in this sentence. When indicating a specific position in a location, 'at the top of the hill' is the appropriate phrase to use, making 'of' the most suitable option to complete the sentence grammatically. In this context, 'of' shows the relationship between the top and the hill, indicating a position at the highest point of the hill.
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
- A. I make mistakes when I'm in to much of a hurry.
- B. I, too, enjoy reading a good novel.
- C. Too whom does this money belong?
- D. Save a piece of cake for me to.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Choice B, "I, too, enjoy reading a good novel," is grammatically correct as it uses the adverb "too" correctly to indicate similarity or addition. "Too" in this context means "as well" or "also," and it is appropriately placed after the subject "I" in the sentence.
Summary:
Choice A is incorrect due to the misuse of "to" instead of "too." Choice C is incorrect as it should be "To whom" instead of "Too whom." Choice D is incorrect because it lacks a verb after "to," making it incomplete. Choice B is the only option that uses "too" correctly in the context of indicating similarity or addition.
