Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Why did we try so hard?
- A. has to
- B. Haven't
- C. had to
- D. have to
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D' - 'have to'. The sentence 'Why did we have to try so hard?' is grammatically correct as it uses the past tense 'have to' to express a necessity or obligation in the past. 'Has to', 'Haven't', and 'had to' would not fit the sentence structure or convey the intended meaning of questioning the necessity of trying hard.

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 answer is 'D: In spite of.' 'In spite of' is the appropriate phrase to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host. 'Despite of' is incorrect as 'despite' already conveys the idea of 'in spite of.' 'Even though' and 'although' are conjunctions, but they are not the best fit in this context. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'D: In spite of.'

2. The sentence should read: "It's a violation of patients' right to privacy to take their picture without consent."
3. "Patients'" is used correctly to show possession.
4. "It's" is a contraction for "it is" and is used correctly in the sentence.
5. "Right" is used correctly as part of the noun phrase "patients' right."
Summary:
A is incorrect because it should be "their" instead of "they're." B, C, and D are used correctly in the context of the sentence.

- A. do to
- B. stay was
- C. superinfection

Rationale: The correct phrase should be "due to" instead of "do to." "Due to" is used to indicate the cause or reason for something, while "do to" is not a standard English phrase. In this sentence, the correct usage should be "The client's hospital stay was prolonged due to a superinfection."
Summary:
- Choice B: "stay was" is used correctly in the sentence.
- Choice C: "superinfection" is used correctly in the sentence.
- Choice D: "client's" is used correctly in the sentence.
- Choice A is incorrect as "do to" is not a valid phrase in Standard English.
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: The dog began to scratch behind the ear.
- A. themself
- B. itself
- C. their
- D. it
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'dog' is a singular subject, so the correct reflexive pronoun to use is 'itself' to refer back to the dog. The word 'itself' is the appropriate choice to make the sentence grammatically correct by indicating that the dog is scratching behind its own ear.
Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. The student completed the test..............
- A. quite
- B. quick
- C. quietly
- D. quickly
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, the word should describe how the student completed the test, indicating speed. The correct word to use in this context is 'quickly,' an adverb that describes the action of completing the test with speed. 'Quite' means to a certain or fairly significant extent, 'quick' is an adjective for fast, and 'quietly' is an adverb describing how quietly the action is performed. Therefore, the correct answer is 'quickly.'
