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.

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.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Choice B is incorrect due to the use of 'than' instead of 'then.' The correct word in this context is 'then' to indicate the order of actions. Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct. In choice A, the sentence structure is correct with a clear cause-effect relationship. Choice C is grammatically sound, describing the dietician's mistake. Choice D is also grammatically correct, showing a cause (the child feeling ill) leading to an effect (the nurse sending him home).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In the given address 'Mr. Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20003,' the salutation is "Mr." The salutation is the polite greeting that addresses the recipient of the communication, in this case, Mr. Ryan. Option A, "1600 Pennsylvania Ave.," is the street address, not the salutation. Option B, "20003," is the zip code (postal code), not the salutation. Option C, "Ryan," is the recipient's last name and not the salutation, which is the title of respect or courtesy before the recipient's name. In an educational context, understanding salutations is important for effective communication, whether in written correspondence or verbal interactions. Knowing how to appropriately address individuals in different contexts is a crucial aspect of professionalism and interpersonal communication skills. This knowledge is particularly relevant in fields like healthcare, where clear and respectful communication is essential for providing quality care to patients.
