Which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement?
Answer: The group of students is studying.
The subject 'group' is singular, so it takes the singular verb 'is.'
Which pronoun correctly completes the sentence: 'Between you and ___, the test was easy.'?
Answer: me
Prepositions like 'between' require object pronouns, so 'me' is correct.
Which sentence is in the past perfect tense?
Answer: She had finished her homework before dinner.
Past perfect uses 'had + past participle' to show an action completed before another past event.
Identify the sentence with a dangling modifier.
Answer: Running to the bus, the bag was dropped.
In option B, 'Running to the bus' incorrectly modifies 'bag' rather than a person.
Which sentence uses the correct form of the adjective?
Answer: She is the tallest girl in class.
The superlative 'tallest' is correct; adding 'most' to a word already in superlative form is redundant.
What is the function of a subordinating conjunction?
Answer: It introduces a dependent clause and connects it to an independent clause.
Subordinating conjunctions (because, although, since) introduce dependent clauses and link them to independent clauses.
Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Answer: He nearly drove his car twenty miles.
In option A, 'nearly' modifies 'drove' rather than 'twenty miles,' distorting the meaning.
