What did she do when her boyfriend called, out of anger?
- A. Yelled
- B. Screamed
- C. Spoke
- D. Hung up
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct action that fits the context of the question is 'Hung up.' When someone 'hangs up on' someone else, it means they abruptly end a phone call without saying goodbye or giving a chance to respond, typically out of anger or frustration. In this scenario, 'yelled,' 'screamed,' or 'spoke' do not accurately depict the action of abruptly ending the call, as 'hung up' does. Therefore, 'Hung up' is the correct choice that best conveys the action described in the question.

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: ___ picking up groceries one of the things you are supposed to do?
- A. is
- B. am
- C. is it
- D. are
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: is.' The sentence should read, 'Is picking up groceries one of the things you are supposed to do?' In this context, 'picking up groceries' is the subject, requiring the singular verb 'is' to match the singular subject. The sentence is structured as a question, with 'Is' being the correct auxiliary verb to start the question and maintain subject-verb agreement. Therefore, 'is' is the correct choice to ensure grammatical accuracy in the sentence.
When a person finds ---------------------in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.
- A. Oneself
- B. Yourself
- C. Themselves
- D. Itself
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Oneself.' When referring to a singular person in a generic sense, 'oneself' is the appropriate pronoun to use. In the context of the sentence, it conveys the idea that taking deep breaths can be beneficial for an individual facing stress. Using 'yourself' (B) would imply a specific person, 'themselves' (C) is plural and does not match the singular 'person,' and 'itself' (D) does not correctly refer to a person.
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 'In spite of.' This phrase is used to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host. 'Despite of' in choice A is incorrect as 'of' should not follow 'despite.' 'Even though' in choice B is not the best fit in this context as it is used to introduce a contrast or concession rather than explaining an action. 'Although' in choice C is also not the most suitable choice here as it is used to introduce a clause expressing a contrast. Therefore, 'In spite of' in choice D correctly conveys the intended meaning that she went to the party despite her dislike for the host.

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: Children who obey their parents tend to do better in school.
- A. who
- B. which
- C. should
- D. to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, 'who' is the correct relative pronoun to refer to 'Children.' The sentence structure requires a relative pronoun to connect the dependent clause 'who obey their parents' to the main clause. 'Which' is used for things, not people. 'Should' is a modal verb, and 'to' is a preposition, neither of which fit the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is 'A: who.'
