Which sentence uses the correct punctuation?
Answer: She loves cooking, her family, and her dog.
The Oxford (serial) comma before "and" clarifies that three separate items are listed: cooking, her family, and her dog. Without it, the sentence humorously implies she cooks her family and dog.
Which word is spelled correctly?
Answer: Accommodate
"Accommodate" has two c's and two m's. A helpful memory trick: it can accommodate two c's and two m's.
Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.
Answer: Each of the students has completed their assignment.
"Each" is an indefinite pronoun that takes a singular verb ("has"), not "have." Using "their" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun is acceptable in modern usage.
What does the word "ambiguous" mean?
Answer: Open to more than one interpretation
"Ambiguous" means having more than one possible meaning or interpretation, causing uncertainty. Example: "The ambiguous instructions confused everyone."
Which sentence correctly uses a semicolon?
Answer: She studied hard; she passed the exam.
A semicolon correctly joins two independent clauses. "She studied hard" and "she passed the exam" are both complete sentences that are closely related in meaning.
Which option corrects the dangling modifier in this sentence: "Running through the park, the trees were beautiful."
Answer: Running through the park, she admired the beautiful trees.
A dangling modifier has no clear subject. The trees cannot run. The corrected version makes clear that "she" is the one running through the park and admiring the trees.
