Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Three days from now, the horses ___________.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'Three days from now' indicates a future timeframe, so the correct verb tense to use is the future tense. The phrase 'will perform in a show' is the best choice to make the sentence grammatically correct because it aligns with the future action of the horses. Choice A ('performing in a show') uses the present participle and is incorrect in this context. Choice B ('performed in a show') uses the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event. Choice D ('have performed in a show') uses the present perfect tense, which is also not appropriate for a future action. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence provided, the word 'lay' is used incorrectly. The correct past tense of 'lay' in this context should be 'lay.' Therefore, the sentence should read, 'Dr. Leo laid the paperwork out upon the table for us to view.' 'Laid' is the past participle of 'lay' when it requires an object. In this sentence, 'lay' is the correct choice as it is used without an object. The other choices ('upon,' 'us,' 'view') are used appropriately in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct word to use after 'and' is a pronoun that would refer to Nurse Junko as another person. Since 'Nurse Junko' is a singular female subject, the appropriate pronoun to use is 'she.' Therefore, the correct choice is 'she.' Choice 'A' ('me') is incorrect because it is an object pronoun, not a subject pronoun. Choice 'C' ('them') is incorrect because it is a plural pronoun and does not agree with the singular subject 'Nurse Junko.' Choice 'D' ('him') is incorrect because it is a masculine pronoun, while the subject 'Nurse Junko' is a singular female, so the pronoun should be feminine.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence, 'The nurse told Silvio's family that visiting hours were over, but Silvio's family could come back early tomorrow morning,' the second occurrence of 'Silvio's family' can be effectively substituted with the word 'them' to avoid repetition and improve clarity. Using 'them' in this context helps to make the sentence more concise and less redundant, enhancing the overall flow and readability. Choice B ('us') is incorrect as it would imply that Silvio's family could come back early tomorrow morning to the speaker and others, which is not the intended meaning. Choice C ('they') is incorrect as it would shift the subject from 'Silvio's family' to a third-person perspective, altering the original meaning. Choice D ('those') is incorrect as it does not appropriately refer back to 'Silvio's family' in a clear and concise manner.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'whom' should be used instead of 'who' in the sentence to make it grammatically correct. 'Who' is used as the subject of a sentence, while 'whom' is used as the object. Therefore, the correct form of the sentence should be: 'For whom was that email intended?' Choices A, C, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not need any changes.
