TOEIC Error Recognition Test 3

Question 1

Which underlined part is incorrect? "The participants were asked to (A) fill out a form and (B) to return it (C) to the reception by (D) the end of the day."

Accepted Answer

(B) to return it

Answer

In parallel infinitive constructions joined by "and," the second "to" is typically omitted: "fill out a form and return it." While "to return" is not strictly wrong, the inconsistency in the parallel structure is the tested error.

Question 2

Find the error: "Each of the (A) new employees are (B) expected to (C) complete mandatory (D) orientation training."

Accepted Answer

(B) are expected

Answer

"Each of" takes a singular verb. The subject is "each" (singular), so the correct form is "is expected," not "are expected."

Question 3

Identify the error: "The marketing team (A) is work on (B) a new campaign (C) that will (D) launch next quarter."

Accepted Answer

(A) is work on

Answer

The present progressive requires "is working on," not "is work on." The present participle (-ing form) is required after "is."

Question 4

Which part has a grammatical error? "The client (A) who called yesterday (B) wanted to speak with (C) someone knowledgeable (D) about our produces."

Accepted Answer

(D) about our produces

Answer

"Produces" is a verb form. The correct noun for items manufactured or sold is "products." Using the wrong word class is the error.

Question 5

Find the error: "The CEO, (A) along with the board members, (B) were present (C) at the annual (D) shareholder meeting."

Accepted Answer

(B) were present

Answer

The subject is "The CEO" (singular). Phrases introduced by "along with" do not change the number of the subject. The correct verb is "was present."
