Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her mother asked her what would she do after she graduated from college.'
- A. her
- B. from
- C. would she
- D. do
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase should be structured as 'what she would do' instead of 'what would she do.' In English, when forming questions or indirect questions, the subject and the auxiliary verb are inverted. Therefore, the correct order in this sentence is 'what she would do.' This maintains the correct word order for questions and indirect questions in English.

Choose the word that correctly replaces the quoted word in the sentence: 'We didn't know which picture was "Patricia's.'
- A. hers
- B. hors
- C. cours
- D. her's
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, 'Patricia's' is indicating possession, so the appropriate word to replace it is 'hers,' which is a possessive pronoun that does not require an apostrophe. 'Hors' and 'cours' are unrelated to the context and therefore incorrect choices. 'Her's' is grammatically incorrect as possessive pronouns like 'hers' do not use an apostrophe to show possession.
You should always do the right thing.
- A. Do
- B. Always
- C. Right
- D. Should
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The phrase 'do the right thing' implies taking morally correct actions. In this context, 'right' is the correct choice, making the sentence coherent and meaningful. 'Always,' 'do,' and 'should' do not fit the context as they do not convey the intended meaning of acting morally. Therefore, option C, 'Right,' is the correct answer.
Which word in the sentence is NOT grammatically correct? 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
- A. For
- B. And
- C. There
- D. Are
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C - There.' The original sentence mistakenly uses 'Their' instead of 'There.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun, while 'There' is used to indicate a place or the existence of something. The corrected sentence should read, 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly. Their are three things to remember for the test: vocabulary, grammar, and spelling.
- A. and
- B. :
- C. Their
- D. for
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct Answer: C (Their)
Rationale:
1. The word "Their" is incorrectly used in the sentence. It should be "There" instead to indicate a location or position.
2. "Their" is a possessive pronoun, used to show ownership by a group of people.
3. "There" is an adverb indicating a place or position, which is the correct word to use in this context.
4. Choices A, B, and D do not contain any errors in their usage within the sentence.
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'The teacher let the students know that they would have 1 hour to complete the test.'
- A. the test
- B. let
- C. would have
- D. to know
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. 'To know' is incorrectly used here; it should be 'know' without the preposition 'to.' The verb 'let' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the infinitive form. Therefore, the sentence should read, 'The teacher let the students know that they would have 1 hour to complete the test.'
