Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The verb 'meet' is the correct option in this context as it completes the sentence structure 'waiting to meet with the doctor' in a grammatically correct way. The sentence requires an infinitive verb form to convey the intended meaning of Miguel and I waiting to have a meeting or appointment with the doctor. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'be met' changes the meaning, 'meeting' is a gerund form which doesn't fit the sentence structure, and 'met' is a past tense form that doesn't match the present tense context of the sentence.

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 subject 'The nursing staff' is a collective noun that is considered singular. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is 'hopes.' The verb 'hopes' agrees with the singular subject, making the sentence grammatically correct. Choice A ('hope') is incorrect because it is not the correct verb form for a singular subject. Choice C ('hoping') is incorrect as it is a gerund and does not function as the verb in this sentence. Choice D ('does hope') is incorrect as it introduces unnecessary emphasis and does not match the subject-verb agreement required in the sentence.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'stationary' in the sentence should be spelled as 'stationary.' 'Stationery' refers to writing paper and other office supplies, while 'stationary' means not moving or still. In this context, the correct word should be 'stationary' to describe the chairs that are not moving.
