The sentence correctly uses a comma before the conjunction to connect two independent clauses. The other options misuse commas, which leads to grammatical errors.
Which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement?
The list of items be on the desk.
The list of items is on the desk.
The lists of item is on the desk.
The list of items are on the desk.
The subject 'list' is singular, so it requires the singular verb 'is.' The other options either mismatch in number or use an incorrect form of the verb.
Which sentence correctly uses a semicolon?
I have a big test tomorrow: I can't go out tonight.
I have a big test tomorrow, I can't go out tonight.
I have a big test tomorrow I can't go out tonight.
I have a big test tomorrow; I can't go out tonight.
The semicolon in Option A appropriately separates two independent clauses that are closely related. The other options either misuse punctuation or leave the clauses improperly connected.
In the sentence 'Despite the rain, the match continued,' what is the function of the introductory clause?
It functions as a conjunction.
It sets the context for the main clause.
It serves as the main action.
It is a direct object.
The introductory clause 'Despite the rain' provides context and background to the main clause, explaining the circumstances of the match. It does not represent the main action or serve as a direct object or conjunction.
Which sentence is an example of correct comparative adjective usage?
This puzzle is challengier than the last one.
This puzzle is most challenging than the last one.
This puzzle is challenge than the last one.

Which sentence correctly employs the apostrophe for possession?
The students' book was left on the table.
The students book was left on the table.
The student's book was left on the table.
The student's book's was left on the table.
Option A correctly uses the apostrophe to indicate possession by a single student. Although Option D can be correct in a plural context, the sentence in Option A is clear and unambiguous in showing possession.
Which sentence uses a prepositional phrase correctly?
She sat on the chair by the window.
She on sat by the chair window.
She sat the chair on by the window.
She sat by on the window chair.
Option A correctly incorporates the prepositional phrases 'on the chair' and 'by the window' to add detail about location. The other options jumble the order of words, disrupting the clarity of the phrases.
In the sentence 'While reading the book, the lights went out,' which is a structural issue?
Redundancy.
Subject-verb disagreement.
Incorrect punctuation.
Dangling modifier.
The introductory phrase 'While reading the book' appears to modify 'the lights,' which creates a dangling modifier. The error lies in the unclear connection between the modifier and the intended subject.
Which sentence contains a correctly used coordinating conjunction?
She wanted to attend, the concert but had to study.
She wanted to attend the concert. But she had to study.
She wanted to attend the concert, but she had to study.

Identify the correctly punctuated compound sentence.
I finished my homework and, I relaxed afterwards.
I finished my homework. And I relaxed afterwards.
I finished my homework, and I relaxed afterwards.
I finished my homework; and I relaxed afterwards.
Option A is correctly punctuated with a comma before the coordinating conjunction to join two independent clauses. The other options either misplace punctuation or separate the clauses inappropriately.

By the time the show started, we take our seats already.
By the time the show started, we already took our seats.
By the time the show started, we had already taken our seats.
By the time the show started, we had already taking our seats.
Option A correctly employs the past perfect tense 'had already taken' to show an action completed before another past event. The other sentences fail to accurately form the past perfect construction.
In the sentence 'Not only did she complete her assignment, but she also revised it thoroughly,' what rhetorical structure is used?
Antecedent reference
Periodic sentence
Appositive phrase
Correlative conjunction
This sentence employs a correlative conjunction by using the paired phrases 'not only' and 'but also' to link two related actions. The other terms do not accurately describe the structural feature present in the sentence.
Which of the following sentences exhibits correct parallel structure?
She enjoys reading, writing, and drawing.
She enjoys to read, writing, and to draw.
She enjoys reading, to write, and drawing.
She enjoys reading, writing, and to draw.
Option A maintains a parallel structure by using the gerund forms 'reading,' 'writing,' and 'drawing' consistently. The other options mix different verb forms, breaking the parallelism.
Identify the error in the sentence: 'Either the students or the teacher are going to decide on the field trip.'
Incorrect use of the conjunction 'or'
Misplaced modifier error
Subject-verb agreement error
Faulty parallelism error
The sentence is flawed due to a subject-verb agreement error; when subjects are joined by 'or,' the verb should agree with the subject closest to it. Since 'teacher' is singular, the verb should be 'is' instead of 'are.'
Which sentence properly uses an Oxford comma in a list?
For breakfast, I had eggs toast, and orange juice.
For breakfast, I had eggs, toast and orange juice.
For breakfast, I had eggs, toast, and orange juice.
For breakfast I had eggs, toast, and orange juice.
Option A correctly includes an Oxford comma before the conjunction in a list, which improves clarity. The other options either omit the comma or incorrectly punctuate the list.
Which sentence accurately conveys a subjunctive mood?
If I am a bird, I would fly across the world.
If I were a bird, I would fly across the world.
If I was a bird, I would fly across the world.
If I be a bird, I would fly across the world.
Option A uses the subjunctive mood correctly by employing 'were' to indicate a hypothetical scenario. The remaining options do not properly express a hypothetical condition.
