GED Reasoning Through Language Arts – Language and Grammar Flashcards

Choose the correct verb: "Neither the manager nor the employees ___ aware of the schedule change."

Answer: were

With neither/nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, "employees," which is plural.

Choose the correct verb: "Each of the volunteers ___ a name tag at the event."

Answer: wears

"Each" is singular, so it takes the singular verb "wears."

Which sentence uses the correct pronoun?

Answer: Between you and me, the plan will not work.

"Between" is a preposition, so it takes the objective pronoun "me."

Choose the correct word: "To ___ should I address the complaint letter?"

Answer: whom

The pronoun is the object of the preposition "to," so "whom" is correct.

Choose the correct pronoun: "After reviewing customer feedback, the company updated ___ return policy."

Answer: its

"Company" is a singular noun, so the singular possessive "its" is correct.

Choose the correct verb: "There ___ several reasons for the shipping delay."

Answer: are

In sentences starting with "There," the verb agrees with the subject that follows, "reasons," which is plural.

Which sentence uses the correct pronoun case?

Answer: She and her sister opened a bakery downtown.

The pronoun is part of the subject, so the subjective case "She" is required.
