Which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement?
Answer: Each of the reports has been reviewed.
'Each' is a singular indefinite pronoun and requires the singular verb 'has been reviewed.'
Identify the correct use of a subordinating conjunction in the following options:
Answer: Although she studied hard, she passed the exam.
'Although' is a subordinating conjunction that correctly introduces a dependent clause before an independent clause.
Which sentence uses the passive voice correctly?
Answer: The report was written by the analyst.
Passive voice requires 'was/were + past participle'; 'written' is the correct past participle of 'write.'
Which option correctly uses a relative clause?
Answer: The book that I borrowed was excellent.
'That' introduces a restrictive relative clause correctly without a redundant pronoun ('it').
Choose the sentence that avoids a dangling modifier:
Answer: Having reviewed the data, the analyst submitted her findings.
The participial phrase 'having reviewed the data' correctly modifies 'the analyst,' the subject of the main clause.
Which sentence correctly uses a conditional (if-clause) in its standard form?
Answer: If she studies more, she will pass.
A Type 1 (real) conditional uses simple present in the if-clause and 'will + base verb' in the result clause.
Which sentence contains a correctly placed restrictive appositive?
Answer: My brother John lives abroad.
A restrictive appositive ('John') is not set off by commas because it identifies which brother is meant.
