Question 1 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct sentence is 'The handle was loose and could have fallen off at any moment.' The word 'loose' is the correct spelling to describe something not firmly fixed in place. The phrase 'could have fallen off' is the grammatically correct way to express the possibility of something falling. 'Could of' and 'could've' are frequently confused with 'could have,' which is the correct form. Therefore, option C is the only one that is both grammatically correct and accurately conveys the intended meaning.

Question 3 of 5
A pastry chef is organizing the syllabus for a breads class at a local community college. They first want to make sure that the students know about the basic type of equipment used in commercial bread making. After discussing equipment, the chef wishes to teach a few simple lessons on simple dough, including traditional ones and those with ancient grains, and then cover enriched dough in both sweet and savory applications. Given all of these requirements, how should the chef outline the course?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Equipment'. The chef should outline the course starting with equipment used in commercial bread making as it is essential for students to understand the tools necessary before moving on to different types of dough. This approach ensures a structured learning process, building a foundation before progressing to more complex topics like simple dough, traditional and ancient grains, and enriched doughs in sweet and savory applications.

Which of the following sentences correctly uses apostrophes?
Correct Answer: B

In sentence A, 'home's' is also correct for showing possession. However, sentence C incorrectly uses an apostrophe to indicate plural instead of possession. In sentence D, the correct form should be 'my grandparents' without an additional 's' after the apostrophe to show possession.
