    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which is correct?

    • The team, that finished last a year ago, is in first place.

    • The team, which finished last a year ago, is in first place.

    Correct Answer
    A. The team, which finished last a year ago, is in first place.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The team, which finished last a year ago, is in first place." This is because "which" is used to provide additional information about the subject, without changing the meaning of the sentence. In this case, the phrase "finished last a year ago" is not essential to the meaning of the sentence, but rather provides extra information about the team. Therefore, "which" is the appropriate relative pronoun to use in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which is correct?

    • The President gave a speech this morning.

    • The president gave a speech this morning.

    Correct Answer
    A. The president gave a speech this morning.
    Explanation
    The word "president" should not be capitalized unless it is being used as a proper noun, such as when referring to a specific president by name. In this case, since "president" is not capitalized, it is being used as a common noun to refer to the leader of a country. Therefore, the correct answer is "The president gave a speech this morning."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Fill in the blank: That is what it is _______ for. 

    • They're

    • Their

    • There

    Correct Answer
    A. There
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "there". In this context, "there" is used to refer to a specific place or situation. The phrase "That is what it is there for" implies that something has a specific purpose or function.
