1. Please fill in the apostrophes to the following sentence: Dont place the raw meat on the vegetable counter when you are going to cut it. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "Don't place the raw meat on the vegetable counter when you are going to cut it." This is the correct sentence because it uses the contraction "Don't" instead of "Dont" or "Don,t" which are incorrect spellings. Additionally, it correctly uses the word "on" to indicate the location of the raw meat, and it uses the word "when" to indicate the timing of cutting the meat.

2. The 123 team skilled and full of energy stayed awake through out the night waiting for nothing to happen at all.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The 123 team, skilled and full of energy, stayed awake through out the night waiting for nothing to happen at all." This is the correct answer because it properly uses punctuation (commas) to separate the different elements of the sentence. The phrase "skilled and full of energy" is set off by commas to indicate that it is a non-essential element of the sentence. Additionally, the phrase "throughout the night" is spelled correctly, and the word "nothing" is spelled correctly as well.

Submit
3. Its -VS- It's It's= It is Please choose the correct word: The cow was placed in its new pen last night.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The cow was placed in its new pen last night." The word "its" is used to show possession, indicating that the pen belongs to the cow. The word "it's" is a contraction of "it is" and would not make sense in this context.

Submit
4. Choose the right word for this sentence: In the store there (is or are) three different kinds of apple juices to buy from.

Explanation

The correct answer is "In the store there are three different kinds of apple juices to buy from." This is because the subject "three different kinds of apple juices" is plural, so it requires the plural form of the verb "are".

Submit
5. Choose the right word for this sentence: The cow (ran or run) from the tiger who was hungry and wanted to eat. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "The cow ran from the tiger who was hungry and wanted to eat." The verb "ran" is the correct past tense form of "run" to match the subject "cow" in the sentence.

Submit
6. Capitalization Choose the correct sentence: The east especially Maryland is famous for its crab.

Explanation

The correct sentence is "The East, especially Maryland, is famous for its crab." This is because proper nouns, such as "East" and "Maryland," should be capitalized. Additionally, the use of commas before and after "especially Maryland" helps to set off this phrase as additional information.

Submit
7. Its -VS- It's It's= It is Please choose the correct word: We will not discuss the new store hours with employees because its their responsibility to read their emails.

Explanation

The correct answer is "We will not discuss the new store hours with employees because it's their responsibility to read their emails." The word "it's" is the contraction of "it is" and is used to indicate that something belongs to or is associated with a thing previously mentioned. In this case, "it's" is used to show that the responsibility of reading emails belongs to the employees.

Submit
8. The companys CFO Ana Barbara Rosales will not be at the office today.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The company's CFO, Ana Barbara Rosales, will not be at the office today." This answer is correct because it correctly uses the possessive form of "company's" to indicate that the CFO belongs to the company. It also correctly uses commas to set off the name "Ana Barbara Rosales" as an appositive, providing additional information about the CFO. Finally, it states that the CFO will not be at the office today, indicating her absence.

Submit
9. Please fill in the apostrophes to the following sentence: The Lunas account is past due.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The Luna's account is past due." This is the correct sentence because it indicates that the account belongs to Luna and it is currently past due. The use of the apostrophe before the "s" shows possession.

Submit

Submit
11. Choose the right word for this sentence: The individual (finished or finishes) their test.
