Which sentence is grammatically correct?
- A. The woman who made the cake is waiting for her payment.
- B. The boy whom you met yesterday is coming to the band concert.
- C. Who will take me to my truck in the school parking lot?
- D. Tommy will choose who he pleases to take to the dance.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'The woman who made the cake is waiting for her payment.' is grammatically correct. In choice B, 'whom' should be replaced with 'who' as it is the subject of the sentence. Choice C should use 'who' instead of 'whom' since 'who' is the subject of the verb 'will take.' In choice D, 'choose' should be used instead of 'chose' to maintain subject-verb agreement in the future tense.
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Long before his death, Pablo Picasso had became one of the most important artists in history.'
- A. had became
- B. long before
- C. in
- D. the most
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. It should be 'had become' instead of 'had became,' as 'become' is the correct past participle form. The sentence is in the past perfect tense, and 'had become' is the correct usage in this context. 'Long before' is used correctly to indicate a point in time before an event occurred. 'In' is correctly used to show the position or status of Picasso as one of the most important artists. 'The most' is correctly used to emphasize Picasso's significance among all artists in history.
In which sentence is 'snake' used as a verb?
- A. The cobra is a venomous snake.
- B. The spy had to snake his way furtively onto the train.
- C. The plumber used his snake to open up the clogged pipe.
- D. You are being deceitful when you steal from me.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In this sentence, 'snake' is used as a verb to describe the spy's stealthy movement onto the train. The other choices use 'snake' as a noun (referring to a reptile or a tool) or as an adjective to describe behavior. Only in choice B is 'snake' used as a verb, indicating a sinuous and secretive movement.
In the following sentence, which word or phrase functions as the subject? The nurses went to the conference room.
- A. conference
- B. went to
- C. room
- D. nurses
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The subject in a sentence is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. In this sentence, 'nurses' is the subject because they are the ones performing the action of going to the conference room. The other options, 'conference,' 'went to,' and 'room,' do not function as the subject in this sentence. Remember, the subject is the doer of the action in a sentence, making 'nurses' the correct answer.
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
- A. I make mistakes when I'm in to much of a hurry.
- B. I, too, enjoy reading a good novel.
- C. Too whom does this money belong?
- D. Save a piece of cake for me to.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Choice B, "I, too, enjoy reading a good novel," is grammatically correct as it uses the adverb "too" correctly to indicate similarity or addition. "Too" in this context means "as well" or "also," and it is appropriately placed after the subject "I" in the sentence.
Summary:
Choice A is incorrect due to the misuse of "to" instead of "too." Choice C is incorrect as it should be "To whom" instead of "Too whom." Choice D is incorrect because it lacks a verb after "to," making it incomplete. Choice B is the only option that uses "too" correctly in the context of indicating similarity or addition.
