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: Mr. In an address, the salutation is the greeting used to address the recipient, typically a title or honorific followed by the recipient's last name. In this case, "Mr." is the salutation as it is used to address Mr. Ryan. The other choices are incorrect because: A: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is the street address. B: 20003 is the zip code (not the area code). C: Ryan is the recipient's last name, not the salutation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is A: Won't. The contraction 'won't' is formed by combining 'will' and 'not', where the 'o' from 'not' replaces the 'i' in 'will'. This contraction is widely accepted and commonly used in English language. B: Willn't is not a standard contraction and is not grammatically correct. C: Wouldn't is a contraction for 'would not', not 'will not'. D: Will'nt is a non-standard and incorrect form of contraction.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Outcome statement. In the given sentence, 'prognosis' refers to the doctor's prediction or forecast about the likely outcome of the patient's condition. This is supported by the context of the sentence where the patient feels optimistic based on the doctor's prognosis. A) Instructions, B) Estimate, and C) Behavior do not accurately capture the meaning of 'prognosis' in this context. Instructions refer to directions or guidance, estimate is a rough calculation, and behavior pertains to actions or conduct, none of which align with the meaning of 'prognosis' in this specific sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Threw. In this sentence, the verb needs to be in the past tense to match the action of tossing caps in the air. 'Threw' is the past tense form of 'throw,' which correctly conveys the action that has already taken place. Rationale: - A: Thorough means complete or detailed, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. - B: Through is a preposition or adverb indicating movement from one side to the other, not a verb. - D: Throwing is the present participle form of 'throw,' which doesn't match the past tense context of the sentence.
