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
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'The teacher let the students know that they would have 1 hour to complete the test.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. 'To know' is incorrectly used here; it should be 'know' without the preposition 'to.' The verb 'let' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the infinitive form. Therefore, the sentence should read, 'The teacher let the students know that they would have 1 hour to complete the test.'
Question 3 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. In this sentence, 'badly' is the correct adverb to modify the verb 'performed,' describing how Mona did during dance class. Choices A, B, and D incorrectly use 'bad' instead of 'badly' as an adverb. 'Badly' is the appropriate adverb form to describe the manner in which an action is carried out, while 'bad' is an adjective used to describe a noun. Therefore, in this context, 'performed badly' is the grammatically correct usage.
Question 4 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. 'Elle advised me to go to the dance with Rachel instead of Jen.' is grammatically correct. In this sentence, 'advised' is used correctly as a verb. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect in their usage of 'advice' and 'advise'. Choice A uses 'advise' as a verb when it should be 'advice'. Choice C uses 'advice' as a verb when it should be 'advise'. Choice D uses 'advise' as a verb when it should be 'advice'. Therefore, option B is the only grammatically correct sentence among the choices.
Question 5 of 5
Which sentence uses the verb correctly?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'Drank' is the correct past tense of 'drink.' In sentence A, 'Sarah drank the chocolate milkshake,' the verb is used correctly in the past tense. Choices B and D incorrectly use 'drunk,' which is the past participle form of 'drink,' instead of the past tense 'drank.' Choice C incorrectly uses 'drinks,' which is the present tense form. It's important to use the appropriate verb form to ensure grammatical accuracy and clarity in writing.
