Which sentence corrects the agreement error: "Neither the teacher nor the students was ready"?
Answer: Neither the teacher nor the students were ready.
With "neither/nor," the verb agrees with the nearer subject "students," requiring "were."
Select the correctly punctuated sentence with a quotation.
Answer: "Let's go now," she said.
The comma goes inside the quotation marks before the dialogue tag.
Which sentence corrects the pronoun case error: "Me and him went to the store"?
Answer: He and I went to the store.
Subject pronouns "he" and "I" are needed because they perform the action.
Choose the sentence with the correct use of "fewer" or "less."
Answer: There were fewer cars on the road today.
"Fewer" is used for countable nouns like "cars."
Which sentence corrects the redundancy: "She returned back to her seat"?
Answer: She returned to her seat.
"Returned" already means going back, so "back" is redundant.
Select the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement: "Either of the answers ___ correct."
Answer: is
"Either" is singular and takes the singular verb "is."
Which sentence correctly uses the colon?
Answer: Bring these items: a pen, paper, and a ruler.
A colon correctly introduces the list after a complete clause.
