Question 3 of 5
Which sentence correctly uses quotation marks?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct use of quotation marks involves enclosing the exact words of a speaker, with punctuation placed inside the quotes.
Choice A is the correct answer as it correctly uses quotation marks to enclose the spoken words 'Did you finish your homework?' with the appropriate punctuation inside the quotes.
Choices B, C, and D incorrectly position the quotation marks or omit necessary punctuation, making them grammatically incorrect. In choice B, the closing quotation mark is missing. In choice C, the punctuation is placed outside the closing quotation mark, and in choice D, the quotation mark is incorrectly placed after 'homework,' disrupting the flow of the quoted speech.
Question 4 of 5
In the sentence 'The flustered man watched the train as it pulled out of the station,' which of the following is the simple subject?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The simple subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this sentence, the subject is 'man' because it is the entity performing the action of watching. 'The flustered man' is a noun phrase but not the simple subject as it includes an article and an adjective. 'Watched' is a verb and 'train' is the object of the action, not the subject.
Therefore, 'man' is the correct simple subject in this sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Please don't take what I said so personally. Which of the following parts of speech is 'personally' as used above?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence, 'personally' is modifying the verb 'take,' indicating how the action is done. Adverbs often answer questions like how, when, where, and to what extent. 'Personally' in this context is an adverb, making choice D the correct answer.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as 'personally' does not function as an article (a, an, the), adjective (describing a noun), or verb (action word) in this sentence.
