Question 1 of 5

Which word in the sentence needs to be corrected for proper grammar?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'A' should be corrected to 'an' in the sentence. The sentence should read, 'The nurse made an error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's file.' The article 'an' is used before a noun beginning with a vowel sound, like 'error' in this case. Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct in the sentence and do not need to be altered.

Question 2 of 5

Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Which verb correctly completes the sentence? After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they ___ more than 400 miles to reach their destination.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles is a past action that already took place after they threw their sleeping bags into the backseat. 'Drove' is the correct past tense form of the verb to match this past action. Choice A, 'Driving,' is in the present participle form and does not correctly indicate the completion of the action in the past. Choice B, 'Having driven,' is in the present perfect form and does not fit the sequence of events in the sentence. Choice D, 'Had drove,' is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'had' with the past form of 'drive.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'Drove.'

Question 4 of 5

Place the four words in alphabetical order.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In alphabetical order, 'Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled' is correct. The alphabetical order is determined by the first letter of each word. The correct sequence starts with 'Assemble,' followed by 'assembly,' then 'assembling,' and finally 'assembled.' Choice A, B, and D do not follow the correct alphabetical order as the words are not arranged alphabetically.

Question 5 of 5

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? 'The shopper was angry when he realized he could have ___ it cheaper at the other store.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C) Could have gotten.' In this sentence, the verb form 'gotten' is the correct past participle form of 'get,' indicating a missed opportunity in the past. Choice A is incorrect because 'get' is the base form of the verb, not the past participle. Choice B is incorrect as 'got' is the past tense, not the past participle. Choice D is incorrect because 'get' is the base form, and 'might have get' is not the correct structure for this sentence.
