  1. Which sentence avoids the passive voice unnecessarily?

    Answer: The officer made the arrest.

    Active voice ('The officer made the arrest') is clearer and more direct in reports.

  2. Which sentence is grammatically correct?

    Answer: My partner and I responded to the call.

    'My partner and I' is correct because 'I' is used as the subject of the sentence.

  3. Which sentence correctly uses a semicolon?

    Answer: The witness cooperated; however, the suspect did not.

    A semicolon can join two independent clauses, especially with a conjunctive adverb like 'however.'

  4. Which word is spelled correctly?

    Answer: Occurrence

    The correct spelling is 'occurrence' with two c's and two r's.

  5. Which sentence uses 'their,' 'there,' and 'they're' correctly?

    Answer: They're going to their assigned post over there.

    'They're' = they are; 'their' = possessive; 'there' = a place — all used correctly in option B.

  6. Which is the correct plural form of 'witness'?

    Answer: Witnesses

    Words ending in 's' form their plural by adding 'es,' making 'witnesses.'
