  1. Which sentence uses a semicolon correctly?

    Answer: She studied hard; she passed the exam.

    A semicolon joins two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction.

  2. Identify the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement.

    Answer: Neither the doctor nor the patients were ready.

    With 'neither/nor,' the verb agrees with the nearer subject, 'patients.'

  3. Which word is an example of a coordinating conjunction?

    Answer: But

    'But' is a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS).

  4. Choose the sentence that is a fragment.

    Answer: Running through the rain.

    'Running through the rain' lacks a subject and a complete verb, making it a fragment.

  5. Which sentence uses an apostrophe correctly?

    Answer: The patient's chart is missing.

    'Patient's' shows singular possession of the chart.

  6. What is the correct comparative form of 'good'?

    Answer: Better

    'Better' is the irregular comparative form of 'good.'

  7. Which sentence correctly uses 'who' versus 'whom'?

    Answer: To whom did you give the report?

    'Whom' is the object of the preposition 'to' in this sentence.
