  1. Which sentence avoids a faulty pronoun reference?

    Answer: When Maria met Lisa, Maria was nervous.

    Repeating "Maria" removes ambiguity about who "she" refers to.

  2. Choose the sentence with correct usage of "good" or "well."

    Answer: She sings very well.

    "Well" is an adverb modifying the verb "sings."

  3. Which sentence correctly uses "than" or "then"?

    Answer: She is taller than her brother.

    "Than" is used for comparisons; "then" refers to time.

  4. Identify the sentence with no double negative.

    Answer: I don't have any homework.

    "Don't have any" avoids the double negative found in the other options.

  5. Which sentence uses correct capitalization?

    Answer: We visited the Grand Canyon last summer.

    Proper nouns are capitalized, but seasons like "summer" are not.

  6. Choose the sentence with the correct relative pronoun.

    Answer: The student that scored highest won.

    "That" correctly refers to a person in a defining clause, while "who" would also work.

  7. Which sentence correctly uses "its" versus "it's" in context?

    Answer: It's a beautiful day outside.

    "It's" is the contraction of "it is," which fits the sentence.
