Q #1: Which of the following sentences demonstrates correct grammar and usage?
A. If any fewer people watch that television series, the affect will be its cancellation.
B. If any less people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.
C. If any less people watch that television series, the affect will be its cancellation.
D. If any fewer people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.
Answer Explanation
The correct use of "fewer" and "less" is important in proper grammar and usage. "Fewer" is used when referring to items that can be counted, while "less" is used for quantities that cannot be counted. In this case, "people" is a countable noun, so "fewer" is the correct word to use. Additionally, "effect" is the correct noun to use in this sentence, as it refers to the result or consequence of the action, while "affect" is a verb meaning to influence or have an impact on.

Q #2: 1) Initially, we constructed experiments that explored new relationships among six major systems of the human body: circulatory, digestive, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and respiratory. 2) We believe that this work will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior. 3) Then, we discovered, through a series of curious events and calculations, that these systems were all intricately involved in a kind of psychic economy. 4) Our experimental research project has focused on what we call the Psycho-Physical Performance Scale. 5) Therefore, we ultimately chose to classify different triggers of human actions and productions according to these new relationships. Which of the following best orders these sentences to form a well-organized paragraph?
A. 4, 1, 3, 5, 2
B. 1, 3, 4, 2, 5

Q #7: Fill in the blanks. The class is nervous about _____ first exam.
A. its'
B. its
C. it's
D. they're
Answer Explanation
In the given sentence, "the class" is a singular noun and requires a singular possessive pronoun. "Its" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "it" to use with a singular noun, as opposed to "it's," which is a contraction of "it is" and would not be appropriate in this context. "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and would not be appropriate because "class" is singular, not plural.

Q #9: Which of the following is a complex sentence?
A. I brushed my teeth while the coffee brewed.
B. Time was running short, so I hurriedly brushed my teeth while breakfast was warming up.
C. Since time was running short, I hurriedly brushed my teeth while breakfast was warming up.
D. I used the time while the coffee was brewing to brush my teeth.
Answer Explanation
A complex sentence is one that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
In Choice C: "Since time was running short, I hurriedly brushed my teeth while breakfast was warming up," we have an independent clause: "I hurriedly brushed my teeth," and a dependent clause: "Since time was running short." The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, so it depends on the independent clause for its meaning. This combination of an independent and dependent clause makes Choice C a complex sentence.
The other choices are not complex sentences because they either lack a dependent clause or do not have the same level of complexity in their structure.
