Which of the following sentences demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement?

A. The boys and girl in our club is in the cafe.

B. The boy or the girls come to school late.

C. The boys or the girls sings in the choir.

D. The boys and girl visits my house.

Answer Explanation:

Choice A: In this option, the subject "The boys and girl" is a compound subject that includes both "boys" and "girl." The mistake here lies in the verb "is," which is singular. Since the subject is plural due to the presence of "boys," the correct verb should be "are."

Choice B: This choice correctly follows subject-verb agreement rules. The subject "The boy" is singular, so the verb "come" is appropriately singular. Similarly, for "the girls," which is plural, the verb "come" is used in its plural form.

Choice C: Here, the subject "The boys" and "the girls" are connected by "or," indicating a singular choice. However, the verb "sings" is in the singular form, which is incorrect for plural subjects. To maintain agreement, the correct verb should be "sing."

Choice D: In this option, the compound subject "The boys and girl" is again presented. However, the verb "visits" is singular, not in agreement with the plural subject. To ensure proper subject-verb agreement, the verb "visit" should be used.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

  • Q #3: 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.

  • Q #5: Which of the following sentences correctly follows the rules of capitalization?

    A. I plan to enroll in college next Year.

    B. Even though he moved to New York, he was born in a western town

    C. The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a Range

    D. The Geography students took a class trip to the Rocky Mountains.

    Answer Explanation

    According to the rules of capitalization, the first letter of a sentence and proper nouns should be capitalized. In option D, "Rocky Mountains" is a proper noun and it is capitalized correctly. Geography is also a proper noun identifying a subject.

    In option A, "college" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun.

    In option B, it is partly correct however "Western" should be capitalized as it is a proper adjective referring to a specific region.

    In option C, "A1 Plumbing Board of Directors" is capitalized correctly, but "range" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun.

    Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

  • Q #6: Which of the following sentences is written correctly?

    A. The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    B. The lizard has the ability to altar it's coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    C. The lizard has the ability to altar its coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    D. The lizard has the ability to altre its coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    Answer Explanation

    The sentence written correctly is: "The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage." The word "alter" is spelled correctly, and the pronoun "its" is used correctly to show possession. The word "altar" in options B and D is a different word that means a raised platform used for religious or ceremonial purposes, and the word "it's" in option B is a contraction of "it is," which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

  • Q #7: Which of the following sentences would most likely be found in an email from a professor to her biology students at a college?

    A. We want to go out for dinner, but we haven't decided where to eat yet.

    B. I didn't get any constructive feedback on my paper during the peer review last week.

    C. Research groups from the 10:30 a.m. Tuesday class should meet in the library this week.

    D. Traffic on Highway 32 will be rerouted to Main Street during renovation of the 7th Street Bridge

    Answer Explanation

    Option C is most likely to be found in an email from a professor to her biology students at a college because it contains specific information related to the class schedule and activities. It mentions the research groups from a specific class meeting time, and gives a location where they should meet, which suggests it is a message intended for students in that class. Options A, B, and D are more likely to be found in casual conversations or in other types of messages not directly related to the biology class.

  • Q #8: 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

    C. 2, 1, 3, 5, 4

    D. 2,4,1,3,5

    Answer Explanation

    1, 3, 4, 2, 5.

    This order begins presents the initial experiments, then the discovery, after which it discusses the research project, introduces the belief and ends with the classification. While it provides the context for the belief, it starts with the discovery, which may confuse the reader as it doesn't establish the topic first.

    The paragraph is as follows:

    "Initially, we constructed experiments that explored new relationships among six major systems of the human body: circulatory, digestive, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and respiratory. Then, we discovered, through a series of curious events and calculations, that these systems were all intricately involved in a kind of psychic economy. Our experimental research project has focused on what we call the Psycho-Physical Performance Scale. We believe that this work will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior. Therefore, we ultimately chose to classify different triggers of human actions and productions according to these new relationships."

  • Q #9: Which one of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?

    A. Adequate lighting is important for anyone who is studying or reading.

    B. My brother had an old truck that sat by the garage that needed paint.

    C. The contented puppy sat by the sleeping young child.

    D. Drivers in our state are confused by the outdated driving law.

    Answer Explanation

    A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that does not logically modify any word in the sentence. Example: "My brother had an old truck that sat by the garage that needed paint." The phrase "that needed paint" is a dangling modifier because it does not clearly modify any word in the sentence.

    It is unclear whether it is the truck or the garage needed paint.
