The student sang well, but she danced ____?
- A. Badly
- B. Badly
- C. Poorly
- D. Poorer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'danced' requires an adverb to describe how the action was performed. The adverb 'badly' is the correct form to describe the quality of dancing, not the adjective 'bad.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'Badly.' Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and in this case, 'badly' is used to describe how the student danced, making it the appropriate choice.

Select the sentence that is grammatically correct.
- A. He did good on his diet.
- B. He done good on his diet.
- C. He done well on his diet.
- D. He did well on his diet.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'He did well on his diet.' In this context, 'did well' is the correct usage for describing performance. The use of 'done' in choices B and C is incorrect as 'done' is a past participle and not suitable for this sentence structure. Also, 'well' is the adverb that describes how something is done correctly, whereas 'good' is an adjective that describes a noun. Therefore, 'He did well on his diet' is the only grammatically correct sentence among the options provided.
As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ------------ and a toast was made by our host.
- A. Were raised
- B. Were rose
- C. Were raised
- D. Arose
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Were raised.' In this context, the phrase 'our glasses were raised' is a common expression used to signify a toast or a celebratory gesture of raising glasses before drinking. 'Were rose' (B) is incorrect grammatically as 'rose' is the past tense of 'rise' and not 'raise.' 'Were risen' (A) is also incorrect. Choice (D) 'Arose' is not the appropriate form for this passive construction. Therefore, 'Were raised' is the correct choice.
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: '___________ left these books on the table needs to put them away.'
- A. Whomever
- B. Whoever
- C. Whom
- D. Who
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Whoever.' In this sentence, the pronoun needs to be in the subjective form to refer to the subject who left the books on the table. 'Whoever' is a subjective pronoun, making it the appropriate choice. 'Whomever' is an object pronoun and is incorrect in this context. 'Whom' is also an object pronoun and doesn't suit the context. 'Who' is not the best option here since it's not in the correct form for the subject of the sentence.
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The data confirms that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and a tranquilizing medication is immediately required.
- A. Extreme anxiety
- B. Confirms
- C. Is
- D. Immediately
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'confirms' is not used correctly in the sentence. 'Confirms' should be followed by 'that' to link the subject 'data' with the verb 'confirms.' The corrected sentence should read: 'The data confirms that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and a tranquilizing medication is immediately required.' This change ensures proper grammar and sentence structure.
