Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 50
Select the word that makes this sentence grammatically correct:
Is the new student coming out to lunch with _______
A. we
B. our
C. us
D. they
CORRECT ANSWER
C. Us
RATIONALE
The pronoun "us" functions as the object of the preposition "with," requiring the objective case. "We" is
nominative, "our" is possessive, and "they" is nominative.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 50
Select the word that makes this sentence grammatically correct:
___ picking up groceries one of the things you are supposed to do
A. Is
B. Am
C. is it
D. Are
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Is
RATIONALE
The gerund phrase "picking up groceries" functions as a singular noun subject, requiring the singular verb
"Is" for subject-verb agreement. This tests the grammatical rule for singular gerund subjects.

Select the word that makes this sentence grammatically correct:
These days, you can't __ learning how to use a computer.
A. not
B. Evading
C. despite
D. Avoid
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Avoid
RATIONALE
The sentence requires a verb that completes the idiomatic phrase "can't ____ learning," where "avoid"
signifies the inability to escape or refrain from an action. This tests understanding of common phrasal
verbs and sentence completion.

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct.
_____________________ screaming took the shopkeeper by surprise.
A. We
B. They
C. Them
D. Our
CORRECT ANSWER

The possessive determiner "Our" correctly modifies the gerund "screaming," functioning as the subject of
the sentence. "Them" is an object pronoun and cannot modify a noun or gerund acting as a subject.
