Question 1 of 5
Place these lines for an address in the correct order.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct order for a standard address is as follows: the recipient's name, street address, apartment or suite number (if applicable), city, state, and ZIP code. In this case: A) Mr. John Ryan - This is the name of the recipient and should come first. B) 1600 Pennsylvania Ave - This line provides the street address and follows the recipient's name. D) 2003 - This represents the apartment or suite number, which is typically placed after the street address. C) Washington, DC - Finally, the city and state should come last. Thus, the correct order is A, B, D, C (Mr. John Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, 2003, Washington, DC), which follows the conventional structure of an address. Options B, C, and D do not correctly adhere to this standard format.
Question 2 of 5
Choose the word that correctly replaces the quoted word in the sentence: 'We didn't know which picture was "Patricia's.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, 'Patricia's' is indicating possession, so the appropriate word to replace it is 'hers,' which is a possessive pronoun that does not require an apostrophe. 'Hors' and 'cours' are unrelated to the context and therefore incorrect choices. 'Her's' is grammatically incorrect as possessive pronouns like 'hers' do not use an apostrophe to show possession.
Question 3 of 5
What word is used incorrectly in the sentence? 'The team want to go to the next game early for tryouts.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'Want' is incorrect because 'team' is a collective noun that takes a singular verb form. In this case, 'team' is the subject of the sentence, so the singular verb 'wants' should be used to maintain subject-verb agreement. Therefore, the sentence should read as 'The team wants to go to the next game early for tryouts.'
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to buy.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Finally.' In the sentence, 'finally' is used to indicate the completion of an action ā€" in this case, the decision-making process. The adverb 'finally' is the appropriate choice to convey the intended meaning. The sentence structure requires an adverb to modify the verb 'decided,' not an adjective like 'final.'
Question 5 of 5
What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence? 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The original sentence 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.' is the correct way to indicate that the door should be unlocked when occupied. The sentence is written in a passive voice to convey the instruction clearly and concisely, making it the correct choice without the need for any replacement.
