Question 1 of 5
I truly believe that one cup of coffee a day is neither too much nor too little caffeine for me, but exactly the right amount. Which of the following words is misspelled in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which example uses quotations correctly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D is the correct answer as it uses quotation marks to properly set off the spoken words. In this sentence, the spoken words by Philip are enclosed within double quotation marks and correctly punctuated with a comma before the attribution 'said Philip.' Choices A, B, and C contain errors such as missing commas, incorrect placement of quotation marks, or incorrect punctuation within the quoted speech. For example, in Choice A, there should be a comma after 'appetite' within the quotation. In Choice B, the comma should be placed inside the quotation marks. Choice C incorrectly places the attribution 'said Philip' within the quotation of spoken words, which is not the standard practice.

Question 4 of 5
In the sentence 'The cherry tomatoes in our backyard are finally ready to be picked,' which of the following is the complete subject?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The complete subject in a sentence refers to the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this case, the complete subject is 'The cherry tomatoes in our backyard.' It includes all the words that describe the subject and provide more specific information about it. 'Tomatoes' (Choice A) is just a part of the complete subject and not the entire subject. 'Ready to be picked' (Choice B) is a verb phrase, not the subject of the sentence. 'Finally ready' (Choice D) is an adjective phrase, not the subject of the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is 'The cherry tomatoes in our backyard.'
Question 5 of 5
The friendly baker offered us chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles. Which of the following is the direct object in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes.' In this sentence, the friendly baker is the subject, 'offered' is the verb, and 'chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes' receive the action of the verb, making them the direct object. Choices A, B, and C do not directly receive the action of the verb 'offered,' so they are not the direct object. Choice A is the verb phrase, choice B is a prepositional phrase, and choice C is the subject of the sentence.
