Question 1

Which sentence uses correct subject-verb agreement?

Accepted Answer

The group of students is working on the project.

Answer

The subject is 'group,' a collective noun treated as singular, so it takes the singular verb 'is.'

Question 2

Which of the following is a complete sentence?

Accepted Answer

The children played outside until dark.

Answer

'The children played outside until dark' has both a subject ('the children') and a predicate ('played outside until dark'), making it a complete sentence.

Question 3

Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

Accepted Answer

Walking to school, the new mural caught Maria's eye.

Answer

In option B, 'walking to school' modifies the wrong subject — the mural cannot walk, so the modifier dangles.

Question 4

Which pronoun correctly completes the sentence? 'Between you and ___, the project still needs more work.'

Accepted Answer

me

Answer

'Me' is correct because it is the object form of the pronoun, required after the preposition 'between.'

Question 5

Which sentence uses the correct verb form?

Accepted Answer

She had gone to the store before it closed.

Answer

'Had gone' is the correct past perfect form; 'gone' is the past participle of 'go,' used with a helping verb.
