Choose the correctly punctuated sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'It's a beautiful day outside.' 'It's' is the contraction for 'it is.' Choice A is incorrect as it should be 'It's' instead of 'Its.' Choice C is incorrect as the apostrophe should come before the 's' in the contraction. Choice D is incorrect as the use of 'is'' is grammatically incorrect.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'She ran through the park.' This sentence is a complete sentence as it contains both a subject 'She' and a predicate 'ran through the park.' Choices A, B, and C are not complete sentences because they lack either a subject, a predicate, or both. Choice A 'Under the bed.' lacks a verb or predicate, choice B 'Although he tried his best.' is a dependent clause and does not form a complete sentence on its own, and choice C 'Running through the park.' is a phrase without a subject or a complete predicate.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The tests were graded by the teacher.' This sentence is an example of passive voice, where the subject receives the action. In passive voice construction, the focus is on the receiver of the action rather than the doer. Choices A, C, and D are not in passive voice. Choice A 'The teacher graded the tests' is in active voice where the subject (teacher) performs the action. Choice C 'The students took the test' is also in active voice with the subject (students) carrying out the action. Choice D 'The test was difficult' is in passive voice but does not exemplify the subject receiving an action performed by an agent, which is a defining characteristic of passive voice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Joyful.' 'Joyful' is a synonym for 'happy' as both words convey feelings of pleasure, contentment, and delight. Choice 'A: Sad' is incorrect as it is an antonym of 'happy,' representing feelings of sorrow or unhappiness. 'Angry' in choice 'C' and 'Tired' in choice 'D' are also incorrect as they represent different emotional states and do not share the same meaning as 'happy.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct order for the sentence 'yesterday she went to the store' is 'She went to the store yesterday.' In English, the standard word order for a sentence is subject-verb-object-adverbial (time). Choice A is the correct answer as it follows this standard order. Choice B changes the order of the subject and object. Choice C changes the order of the adverbial and subject. Choice D changes the order of the subject and adverbial. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
