Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: In spite of." This phrase is the most appropriate because it is used to show contrast or contradiction between two ideas, indicating that the person went to the party despite her dislike for the host. "Despite of" (A) is grammatically incorrect; "Even though" (B) is similar in meaning but not as strong as "In spite of"; "Although" (C) is used to introduce a contrast but does not convey the same level of contradiction as "In spite of."

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: There. In the sentence, "They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for their coach," the word "there" is used incorrectly. "There" indicates a location, while in this context, it should be "their" to show possession. "Their" is the correct possessive form for the word "uniforms." "They're" is a contraction for "they are" and is used correctly in the sentence. "Going" is also used correctly as the verb describing the action. Thus, "there" is the only word that is not used correctly in the sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drove. In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles to reach their destination is in the past tense. "Drove" is the simple past tense form of the verb "drive," which correctly indicates a completed action in the past. A: "Driving" is the present participle form, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence. B: "Having driven" is the present perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense required in the sentence. D: "Had drove" is grammatically incorrect as it uses "had" with the past participle "drove," which is not a correct verb form.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, "Quickly." In this sentence, "quickly" is an adverb modifying the verb "answering." Adverbs describe how an action is done, making it the appropriate choice to describe the manner in which answering should be done. Choices A, B, and C do not function as adverbs and do not properly modify the verb in the sentence. A simply functions as an adjective, B is incomplete, and C is not a correct comparative form. Therefore, "Quickly" is the correct choice for this sentence.
