Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
Answer: The officer who arrived first secured the scene.
The clause 'who arrived first' identifies which officer, so it is restrictive and takes no commas.
Neither of the constables ___ ready for the briefing.
Answer: was
'Neither' is singular, so it takes the singular verb 'was'.
The committee ___ its report yesterday.
Answer: submitted
'Yesterday' requires simple past tense, and 'committee' acting as one unit takes a singular-compatible form.
Which sentence uses the possessive correctly?
Answer: The six officers' uniforms were inspected.
A plural noun ending in s shows possession with an apostrophe after the s.
Recruits must run, lift weights, and ___.
Answer: swim
Items in a list must share the same form, and 'run' and 'lift' are base verbs.
Which sentence avoids a dangling modifier?
Answer: Having finished the report, the sergeant submitted the file.
The introductory phrase must be followed by the person who finished the report, the sergeant.
To ___ should the incident report be addressed?
Answer: whom
'Whom' is the object of the preposition 'to'.
