5. Which is correct?

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.

Submit
6. Which is correct?

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."

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