Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'to roll.' In this sentence, 'started' is followed by the infinitive form of the verb 'to roll.' The construction 'started to roll' indicates the beginning of the action of the wheelchair moving down the corridor. Choice A ('roll') is incorrect as it lacks the infinitive marker 'to' needed after 'started.' Choice C ('rolled') is incorrect as it is the past tense form of the verb, not suitable for the sentence's context. Choice D ('will roll') is incorrect as it indicates a future action, not the past action indicated by 'started.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The word 'because' indicates the reason or cause for something. In this context, it logically connects the meteorologist's forecast of rain with Sheila bringing her umbrella to work. The conjunction 'because' explains the relationship between the rain forecast and Sheila's action of bringing an umbrella, making it the most suitable word for the sentence. Choices B, C, and D do not fit the context as they do not provide a logical reason for Sheila's action.

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: 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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - resting' because it is the present participle form of the verb 'rest' and fits appropriately in the sentence structure 'After resting for an entire afternoon, the resident felt revitalized.' The present participle is used to show an ongoing action that happened before the feeling of revitalization. Choice A 'having rest' is incorrect as it does not convey the continuous action needed in this context. Choice C 'rested' is incorrect as it is the past tense form and does not match the tense of the sentence. Choice D 'rest' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not provide the needed -ing form for the sentence.
