Question 1 of 5

Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

Question 2 of 5

Which word is NOT CORRECT? The student did not recognize which backpack was hers.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hers.' The possessive pronoun 'hers' does not require an apostrophe. The use of 'her's' with an apostrophe is grammatically incorrect. Choices A, B, and D ('Backpack,' 'Student,' and 'Recognize') are all spelled correctly and are grammatically sound in the sentence provided.

Question 3 of 5

He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 4 of 5

What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were.' In the subjunctive mood, we use 'were' for hypothetical or unreal situations. The sentence should read, 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' Choice B ('Is') is incorrect because it is not in the subjunctive form. Choice C ('Be') is incorrect as it is the base form and not the correct form for the subjunctive mood. Choice D ('Was') is incorrect as it is the past tense form and not used in the subjunctive mood.

Question 5 of 5
