  • 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, ________?

    • Mr. K

    • Beanpot

    • Hair

    • Toilet

    • Paper

    Correct Answer
    A. Mr. K
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which is the correct sentence?

    • Andrea I was wondering where, the cookies were.

    • Andrea I was wondering where the cookies, were.

    • Andrea, I was wondering where the cookies were.

    • Andrea I was wondering, where the cookies were.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Andrea, I was wondering where the cookies were.
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

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

    • a noun

    • A name

    • A verb

    • A pronoun

    • An adjective

    Correct Answer
    A. A name
    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.

  • 5. 

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

    • After abs

    • After Zac

    • After who

    • After better

    Correct Answer
    A. After abs
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

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

    • After "Jack"

    • After "borrow"

    • After "Bauer"

    • After "your"

    • After "red lamberginie"

    Correct Answer
    A. After "Bauer"
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

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

    • Tree trunk

    • Rubber band

    • Winnie the Pooh

    • Trash can

    • Beanpot again...

    Correct Answer
    A. Winnie the Pooh
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

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

    • Dog

    • Jump

    • Book

    • Tupac

    • Environmental issues

    Correct Answer
    A. Tupac
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

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

    • After "bob"

    • After "the"

    • After "down"

    • After "builder"

    • After "turn"

    Correct Answer
    A. After "builder"
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

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

    • A comma and it goes after "the Beatles"

    • A parenthesis before "plan" and after "sun!"

    • A comma after "plan to blow"

    • A comma after "Michael Jackson

    Correct Answer
    A. A comma after "Michael Jackson
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

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

    Correct Answer
    a name
    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.
