Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'After waking up, Dean eyed the cheesecake ____.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct adverb to describe Dean's action of eyeing the cheesecake is 'hungrily.' Adverbs modify verbs, in this case, 'eyed,' making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Hungry' (choice
A) is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Hungriest' (choice
B) is a superlative adjective and is not suitable to modify the verb 'eyed.' 'More hungry' (choice
D) is a comparative construction and is also not the correct form to modify the verb.
Question 3 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: '____ screaming took the shopkeeper by surprise.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'Our' is the possessive pronoun that correctly indicates possession, making the sentence grammatically correct. The sentence implies that the screaming belonged to a group that includes the shopkeeper.
Therefore, 'Our' is the appropriate choice. The other options ('We,' 'They,' 'Them') are incorrect as they do not convey possession as required in the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence: 'There is no real distinction between the two treatment protocols recommended online.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct word that should replace 'among' in the sentence is 'between' when referring to a distinction between two things. 'Among' is used when referring to more than two items or when the items are part of a group. In this context, 'between' is more appropriate as there are only two treatment protocols being compared.
Question 5 of 5
Which word in the following sentence functions as the direct object: 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the sentence 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication,' the direct object is 'patient' because it receives the action of being helped. The direct object typically answers the question 'whom' or 'what' after the verb. In this case, 'the patient' is the one being helped by the nurse, making it the direct object.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Helped' is the verb, 'nurse' is the subject performing the action, and 'medication' is part of a prepositional phrase and does not directly receive the action of the verb.
