Select the word that makes the sentence grammatically correct. Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table.

  • A. break
  • B. brick
  • C. brak
  • D. brake
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: break. The verb "break" is the appropriate word in this context as it means to separate into pieces upon impact, which fits the sentence's meaning. The sentence implies caution to avoid causing damage to the bottle. Choice B: brick does not make sense in this sentence context as it refers to a building material, unrelated to handling a bottle. Choice C: brak is a misspelling and not a valid word. Choice D: brake is a verb meaning to stop or slow down a vehicle, which is not relevant to the sentence's intended meaning. Therefore, A is the correct answer for maintaining grammatical correctness and coherence in the sentence.

Select the correct word for the blank in this sentence. I talked to the detective ___ solved the case.

  • A. whose.
  • B. who.
  • C. which.
  • D. whom.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is B, "who." In this sentence, the relative pronoun "who" is used to refer to the detective as the subject who solved the case. The pronoun "who" is used to introduce a defining relative clause that provides essential information about the detective. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because "whose" is possessive, "which" is used for things, and "whom" is the object form of "who" and would not be correct here as the detective is the subject of the sentence.

The student sang well, but she danced ____.

  • A. Bad
  • B. Badly
  • C. Poorly
  • D. Poorer
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'danced' is a verb and requires an adverb to describe how the action was performed. The correct adverb form to modify the verb 'danced' is 'badly,' indicating the manner in which she danced. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Badly.'

Select the word or phrase that will make the sentence grammatically correct: _______ thought the movie was very good.

  • A. us
  • B. we
  • C. them

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

  • A. Pizza is better than hotdogs.
  • B. Dogs are more loving than cats.
  • C. Mandy is much taller then Jason.
  • D. The concert is happening then.
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Choice A is the correct answer. The sentence 'Pizza is better than hotdogs' is grammatically correct. It uses 'than' appropriately to compare pizza and hotdogs. Choice B is incorrect as it should use 'than' to compare dogs and cats instead of 'then.' Choice C is also incorrect because it incorrectly uses 'then' instead of 'than' for comparison. Choice D is incorrect and incomplete as it lacks a proper comparison after 'then.' Therefore, the correct choice is A.

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: _______ screaming took the shopkeeper by surprise.

  • A. We
  • B. They
  • C. Them
  • D. Our
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Our.' The sentence should read 'Our screaming took the shopkeeper by surprise.' In this context, 'Our' indicates possession by a group that includes the shopkeeper. Using 'We,' 'They,' or 'Them' would not be appropriate in this sentence structure as they do not convey possession of the screaming.
