The important decision will be made tomorrow. Which word is the comparative form of the adjective 'important'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'important' is the positive form of the adjective. When comparing two things, the comparative form is used, which is 'more important' in this case. 'More important' indicates a higher degree of importance when comparing two things. Therefore, 'more important' is the correct comparative form of the adjective 'important' in this context. Choice A ('important') is the positive form, not the comparative form. Choice B ('importantly') is an adverb, not a comparative form of the adjective. Choice D ('most important') is the superlative form, used to show the highest degree of importance among three or more things, not for comparing two things.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In the sentence 'The red car parked in the driveway,' the subject is 'car' because it is the noun that is performing the action of parking. The subject is typically the main noun that the rest of the sentence revolves around. 'Driveway' is part of the prepositional phrase 'in the driveway.' 'Red' is an adjective describing the car, and 'the' is an article providing information about the car but not the main noun carrying out the action.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In the sentence 'She baked a delicious cake for the party,' the verb 'baked' is an action performed by the subject 'She.' The direct object is the recipient of the action, which in this case is 'cake.' It answers the question 'What did she bake?' making 'cake' the direct object in the sentence. Choice A 'for the party' is a prepositional phrase indicating the purpose, not the direct object. Choice B 'delicious' describes the cake but is not the direct object. Choice D 'baked' is the verb itself, not the direct object receiving the action.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Through the park.' A participial phrase acts as an adjective and is formed from a verb. In this sentence, 'Running through the park' describes 'she' and functions as an adjective modifying the subject. Choice A 'Running' is incorrect because it is just the present participle without additional context to form a phrase. Choice C 'She spotted' is incorrect as it is a subject and a verb, not a participial phrase. Choice D 'A squirrel' is incorrect as it is a noun phrase, not a participial phrase.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Option C uses formal language by employing more sophisticated vocabulary ('cinematic experience') and refraining from informal terms like 'awesome' and 'flick.' Choice A ('awesome') and Choice D ('flick') use informal language typically used in casual contexts, making them less formal. Choice B, while more formal than Choices A and D, is still less formal than Choice C due to its less sophisticated vocabulary and directness in expressing dissatisfaction compared to the refined language used in Choice C.
