Question 2 of 5
Which sentence uses 'fast' as an adverb?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this question, 'fast' is used as an adverb to describe how the cars moved on the overpass. An adverb modifies a verb, indicating the speed or manner of an action. Choice A correctly uses 'fast' to modify the verb 'moved,' making it the sentence where 'fast' is used as an adverb. The other choices use 'fast' as an adjective to describe the cars (choice D), a clock (choice B), or a pitch (choice C), which does not demonstrate its use as an adverb.
Question 3 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: I will ___ that chart to the patientā€™s room later today.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Take.' In this context, 'take' is the most appropriate choice as it indicates moving something to another location. The sentence implies that the person will transfer the chart to the patientā€™s room, which aligns with the meaning of 'take' when referring to moving objects from one place to another.
Question 4 of 5
Which word in the following sentence is a relative pronoun? Of the many people whom she interviewed, she chose the one with the most experience.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, 'whom' is the correct choice as it is the relative pronoun used to refer to people who are the object of the verb 'interviewed' in the subordinate clause. The use of 'whom' is necessary to maintain proper grammar and follow the rules of relative pronoun usage. Remember, 'who' is used for subjects, while 'whom' is used for objects. In this context, 'whom' is used because the people are being interviewed, making them the object of the action.
Question 5 of 5
What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't.' The apostrophe replaces the missing letters 'il' in 'will' and 'no' in 'not,' forming the contraction 'won't.' Contractions are commonly used in informal writing and speech to make language more concise and natural. 'Willn't' and 'wouldn't' are contractions for 'will not' and 'would not,' respectively, but 'won't' is the correct contraction for 'will not.'
