'Accommodation' is correctly spelled with double 'c' and double 'm'.
Question 2: The sentence 'He is good in English' is incorrect. The correct preposition to use is:
- on
- for
- at (Correct answer)
- with
Correct answer: at
The correct expression is 'good at' when referring to skills or subjects, not 'good in.'
Question 3: Choose the option that best summarizes: 'While social media enables rapid information sharing, it also facilitates the spread of misinformation, making critical evaluation of online content essential.'
- Social media is harmful and should be avoided.
- Social media spreads misinformation only.

The passage acknowledges both rapid sharing and misinformation risks, concluding that critical evaluation is essential.
Question 4: Identify the sentence that contains a dangling modifier:
- Running to catch the bus, he dropped his bag.
- Running to catch the bus, the bag was dropped. (Correct answer)
- While running to catch the bus, he dropped his bag.
- He dropped his bag while running to catch the bus.
Correct answer: Running to catch the bus, the bag was dropped.
In option B, the participial phrase 'Running to catch the bus' illogically modifies 'the bag,' not a person.
