This sentence is made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause. There should be a comma separating the two clauses. No other punctuation is necessary.
Nouns are words that name a person, place, or thing. The nouns in the sentence are “examiner” and “examination.” The word “medical” is an adjective. “Was” and “perform” are verbs.
Sentence fluency is best achieved with clarity and a small number of clauses. Unlike the other options, (A) joins all four sentences into only two clauses. The other options have 3-4 clauses and are less succinct.
The contraction “They’re” has the same meaning as “They are” and is the correct phrase to complete the sentence.
The correct spellings of these words are: miscellaneous, and garage.
The word “group” is a collective noun so it takes a singular verb. In context, the phrase “next year” shows that they are currently looking forward to the climb, so a present-tense verb is required.
An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request, and usually contains no subject. Here the subject is understood to be “you.”
In this sentence “unrespective” is incorrect. The correct word is “irrespective.”
The word, “accept” means “to receive.” “Except” is usually a preposition meaning “but” or “leaving out.” Only choice (C) uses both wordy correctly.
In the original sentence, each quality (courage, integrity, and intelligence) is individually mentioned and separated by commas. The revised version combines these qualities into a single list using the Oxford comma, which is considered a more standard and grammatically correct way of presenting a series of items in a sentence. This revision enhances clarity and readability, making the sentence flow more smoothly and concisely.
The appropriate word to fill in the blank in the sentence is “They’re.” The complete sentence would be: “They’re the best friends to have.” The contraction “They’re” is short for “They are,” which fits correctly in the sentence to express that “they” (the unspecified people being referred to) are the best friends to have.
The group of words that would make a more effective revision to the beginning of the sentence is: “Although Smithco’s quarterly report indicated that sales were falling,” The revised sentence would be: “Although Smithco’s quarterly report indicated that sales were falling, the same report showed a growth in net income.”
The words “She and I” function as the subject of the sentence, indicating who performed the action (going to the movies). When referring to multiple people, it is grammatically correct to use “I” along with another person’s name or pronoun (in this case, “She”) to indicate that both individuals were involved in the action.
The original sentence “Coming up on stage, the speaker announced the start of the event” is clear and grammatically correct. No revision is necessary.
The complete sentence would be: “The student felt that the final exam was harder than the mid-term.” In this sentence, “harder” is used to compare the difficulty of the final exam to the mid-term, indicating that the final exam was more challenging. The word “harder” functions as the comparative form of “hard,” which is the adjective used to describe the level of difficulty in this context.
The revised sentence maintains the same meaning as the original sentence but starts with the indication of the time “Tomorrow night.” It still describes Steve and Joan’s need to work late to complete their project on time. However, note that there is a slight inconsistency in the tense used for “will have to” (future) and “would finish” (conditional). Depending on the context and intended meaning, it might be more appropriate to use the same tense throughout the sentence. For example, the revised sentence could be: “Tomorrow night, Steve and Joan will have to work late so that they can finish their project on time.”
The complete sentence would be: “The child has always been afraid of going to the dentist.” In this sentence, “going” is the present participle form of the verb “go,” and it functions as the object of the preposition “of.” The phrase “going to the dentist” indicates the action that the child is afraid of, which is visiting the dentist.
The sentence “If your payment is not received within the next two weeks, you will be assessed a late fee” is clear and grammatically correct. No revision is necessary.
Kimberly’s son, for which my friends bought gifts, is having a graduation party Which revision of this sentence would be most effective?
In the original sentence, the word “managements” is incorrect because it is the plural form of “management,” and it does not convey the possessive form. The revised version adds an apostrophe (“management’s”) to indicate possession, showing that the decision is one that belongs to or is made by management. The revised sentence now correctly states that the decision to fire an employee is one of the hardest decisions for management to make.
In the original sentence, a comma is missing after the word “medical.” By inserting a comma after “medical,” we properly separate the list of industries (“nursing,” “information technology,” and “criminal justice”) using the Oxford comma (also known as the serial comma). The Oxford comma is used before the conjunction (“and”) to clarify the separation of the last two items in a list. Its usage is a matter of style, but it helps to avoid ambiguity in certain sentences and is often preferred in formal writing.
