Question 1 of 5

Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this question, the correct answer is C) Write. The sentence should actually read, "You should always do the right thing." This error is a common spelling mistake known as a homophone, where two words sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. By selecting the correct answer, students can demonstrate their understanding of vocabulary and spelling. Option A) "Do" is used correctly as the verb in the sentence, indicating an action to be performed. Option B) "Always" is also used correctly as an adverb to emphasize the frequency of the action. Option D) "Should" is appropriately used to convey a suggestion or recommendation. Educationally, understanding homophones is crucial for effective communication, both spoken and written. By identifying and correcting these errors, students can enhance their language skills and avoid misunderstandings in professional and academic settings. This question challenges students to pay attention to detail and apply their knowledge of vocabulary and spelling rules.

Question 2 of 5

What is the correct verb to complete the sentence? 'Economics ___ my least favorite subject at school.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is being treated as a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice B, 'Been,' is incorrect because it is the past participle form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice C, 'Am,' is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice D, 'Are,' is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.'

Question 3 of 5

What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'

Question 4 of 5

Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

Question 5 of 5

Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ___ and a toast was made by our host.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were raised.' This phrase is the correct passive form, indicating the action of lifting the glasses during the toast. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'were risen' is not grammatically correct, 'were rose' is not the appropriate verb form, and 'arose' does not convey the action of lifting the glasses as required in the sentence.
