Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? She went to the party ___ her dislike for the host.
- A. Despite of
- B. Even though
- C. Although
- D. In spite of
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct phrase to complete the sentence is 'In spite of.' This phrase is used to indicate that an action is taken despite a particular circumstance or feeling. In this case, she went to the party in spite of her dislike for the host, meaning she attended the party regardless of her negative feelings towards the host.
Choice A, 'Despite of,' is incorrect as the correct phrase is 'Despite,' without the preposition 'of.' Choice B, 'Even though,' is not the best fit in this context as it does not express the contrast between attending the party and disliking the host as effectively as 'In spite of.' Choice C, 'Although,' is also not the most suitable choice as it is used to introduce a contrast, but 'In spite of' provides a stronger emphasis on the contradiction between attending the party and disliking the host.
He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.
- A. Whom
- B. That
- C. Which
- D. Whose
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'that' is the correct relative pronoun to use in this context to refer to the people who were present that night. 'Whom' is used for objects of a verb or preposition, 'which' is used for things, and 'whose' is a possessive pronoun.
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'
- A. patient
- B. form
- C. nurse
- D. missing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.
- A. Their
- B. Going
- C. They're
- D. There
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.
What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?
- A. Their
- B. They're
- C. The're
- D. No contraction used
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'
