1. Where does the comma belong?
Ms. Bacon when are you leaving for Canada?

Explanation

In the given sentence, the comma belongs after "Bacon". This is because the sentence is addressing someone directly, and when a person's name or title is used in direct address, it is separated from the rest of the sentence by commas. Therefore, the correct placement of the comma is after "Bacon" to indicate that the speaker is directly addressing Ms. Bacon before asking about her departure to Canada.

2. Select the word best fit to fill the blank.
Did you like the Geico sign from math that I tried to give to you but you refused, ________?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Mr. K" because the blank is asking for a word that would make sense in the context of someone refusing a Geico sign from math. "Mr. K" is the most logical choice as it is a person's name and would fit in the sentence as the person who refused the sign.

Submit

3. Which is the correct sentence?

Explanation

The correct sentence is "Andrea, I was wondering where the cookies were." This sentence correctly uses punctuation to separate the name "Andrea" from the rest of the sentence and to indicate a pause. It also places the question word "where" before the subject "the cookies" and uses the correct verb placement "were" at the end of the sentence.

Submit

4. Where does the comma go? Who has better abs Zac Efron?

Explanation

The comma should be placed after "abs" in the sentence "Who has better abs, Zac Efron?" This is because the comma is used to separate the two parts of the sentence: the question "Who has better abs?" and the person being referred to, "Zac Efron."

Submit

5. Which is best fit in the blank?
I need your help, ______.

Explanation

In the given sentence, "I need your help, ______," the best fit in the blank would be "a name." This is because when someone asks for help, they usually need assistance from a specific person or individual, which is referred to by their name. Using a noun or a pronoun would be too general, and using an adjective, verb, or any other option would not convey the specific requirement of needing someone's help by their name.

Submit

6. Where does the comma go?
Jack Bauer can I borrow your red lamberginie with butterfly doors?

Explanation

In this sentence, the comma should be placed after "Bauer". This is because the sentence is addressing Jack Bauer directly, and the comma is used to separate the name from the rest of the sentence. The phrase "can I borrow your red lamberginie with butterfly doors?" is a separate statement/question and should not be connected directly to "Bauer" without the comma.

Submit

7. Select which word best fits the blank.
Can I have some honey, ______?

Explanation

The word "Winnie the Pooh" fits the blank because Winnie the Pooh is commonly associated with honey. Winnie the Pooh is a fictional bear character who is known for his love of honey, so it makes sense to ask for honey from Winnie the Pooh.

Submit

8. Fill in the blank.
Can I come to the tea party you are hosting, _______?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Tupac" because it is the only option that could potentially be a person's name. The question asks if the person can come to a tea party, so it would make sense to invite a person rather than a dog, jump, book, or environmental issues.

Submit

9. Where does the comma belong?
Bob the builder can you turn down the stereo.

Explanation

The comma belongs after "builder" in the sentence "Bob the builder, can you turn down the stereo." This is because the phrase "Bob the builder" is an appositive, providing additional information about the subject. Appositives are typically set off by commas to separate them from the rest of the sentence.

Submit

10. What's missing and where does it belong?
Did you hear, Michael Jackson to the Beatles plan to blow up the sun! 

Explanation

The correct answer is a comma after "Michael Jackson". This is because the sentence is a compound sentence with two independent clauses separated by a comma. The comma is needed to separate the two clauses for clarity and correct punctuation.

Submit

11. Fill in the blank. what goes there?
______, can you answer the phone?

Explanation

The blank should be filled with "a name" because the phrase "can you answer the phone?" implies that someone is being asked if they can answer the phone, and in order to address someone specifically, a name is needed.
