,WHICH SENTENCE IS GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
a) Who's coming to the party?
b) Whose to blame for the economy?
c) Who's hat is this?
d) Whose going to vote?
Correct Answer:
a) Who's coming to the party?
Rationale:
“Who’s” is the contraction for “who is,” making the sentence grammatically
correct: “Who is coming to the party?” Choices B and D incorrectly use
“whose” instead of “who’s.” Choice C incorrectly uses “who’s” to show
possession; the possessive form should be “whose hat.”
WHICH SENTENCE IS GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
a) I went two the store.
b) I want ice cream, too.
c) The nurse gave him too shorts.
d) I want to know your name.
Correct Answer:
b) I want ice cream, too.
Rationale:
“Too” means “also” or “in addition,” which is correctly used in this sentence.
Choice A incorrectly uses “two” instead of “to.” Choice C incorrectly uses
“too” instead of “two.” Although choice D is also grammatically correct in
,standard English, the provided correct answer is B because it specifically
demonstrates proper usage of “too.”
WHICH SENTENCE IS GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
a) He did well on his diet.
b) He done well on his diet.
c) He did good on his diet.
d) He done good on his diet.
Correct Answer:
a) He did well on his diet.
Rationale:
The verb “did” should be followed by the adverb “well” to describe
performance. “Done” is incorrect without a helping verb such as “has” or
“had.” “Good” is an adjective and should not be used to modify the verb
“did.”

b) Does everyone have their train tickets ready?

d) Somebody left his or her jacket on the train.
Correct Answer:
d) Somebody left his or her jacket on the train.
Rationale:
, “Somebody” is a singular indefinite pronoun and correctly matches the
singular possessive phrase “his or her.” Choice A is incorrect because
“several” is plural and should use “their.” Choices B and C use the plural
pronoun “their” with singular indefinite pronouns in formal grammar.

Correct Answer:
