TOEFL Exercise Trivia: Quiz!

Explanation
Gallaudet College is a liberal arts college specifically for deaf people, and it is located in Washington, D.C.

Explanation
The correct answer is "there were several." This is because the sentence is talking about the number of varieties of dogs at the show, and "several" is the appropriate word to use in this context to indicate that there were multiple or many varieties present.

Explanation
The correct answer is "is heartening". This is because the phrase "the fact remains that those birds are dying at unusual rates" suggests that there is a negative aspect to the situation. Therefore, the word "heartening" is the best fit as it means something that brings encouragement or hope, indicating that despite the negative aspect, the discovery of migratory songbirds thriving in deforested wintering spots is still a positive and uplifting finding.

Explanation
The incorrect word in the sentence is "more." The comparative "smaller" already implies the comparison, so adding "more" is redundant. The sentence should read "The coyote is somewhat smaller in size than a timber wolf."

Explanation
The correct answer is "were". In this sentence, the subject is "weather reports", which is plural. Therefore, the verb "were" should also be plural to agree with the subject.

Explanation
The incorrect underlined letter in the given sentence is "a". The correct sentence should be "Seldom cactus plants are found outside of North America." The word "a" is unnecessary and grammatically incorrect in this context.

Explanation
The word "what" is incorrect in the given sentence. It should be "who" instead of "what" as we are referring to a person (player) who is fouled in the basketball game.

Explanation
The correct answer is "largest". The word should be "largest" instead of "largest" as it is misspelled.

Explanation
The correct answer is "are". The subject of the sentence is "understanding", which is singular. Therefore, the verb "are" should be replaced with "is" to match the subject.

Explanation
The correct answer is "earliest." The sentence is discussing the timing of the CVS procedure during pregnancy and the associated risk to the baby. The word "earliest" should be "earlier" to maintain parallelism with the phrase "the greater the risk."
