2. Remove one word in this statement to make the grammar correct:"Make it sure you change your password before logging in to Choice Hotels"

Explanation

The word "Make" should be removed from the statement to make the grammar correct. The correct sentence would be: "Be sure you change your password before logging in to Choice Hotels."

Submit
3. What can you say about this question?"May I please have the property code please?"

Explanation

The question "May I please have the property code please?" is considered redundant because the words "please" and "please" are used consecutively. The repetition of the word "please" is unnecessary and does not add any additional politeness or formality to the question. Therefore, the question could be simplified by removing one of the "please" words.

Submit
4. Choose the best statement:

Explanation

The correct answer is "I'm retrieving your property details." This statement is grammatically correct and uses appropriate language. It indicates that the speaker is in the process of obtaining or accessing the requested information about the property. The other two options, "I'm currently pull-upping your property details" and "I will gonna pull up your property details," contain grammatical errors and informal language, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
5. "Resetted" is the past tense of reset

Explanation

The correct answer is False because "resetted" is not the correct past tense form of the verb "reset." The correct past tense form of "reset" is simply "reset." This means that the verb remains the same in both present and past tense forms.

Submit
6. What phrase is not acceptable in the english grammar?"I cannot be able to help you out if I can't confirm your property code."

Explanation

The phrase "cannot be able" is not acceptable in English grammar because it is redundant. "Cannot" already implies the inability to do something, so adding "be able" after it is unnecessary. The correct phrase would be "I cannot help you out" without the extra "be able."

Submit
7. Grammar wise, this statement is correct"Your GM will going to provide you a new password"

Explanation

The given statement is not grammatically correct. The correct form should be "Your GM will provide you with a new password." The phrase "going to" is unnecessary and should be omitted. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
8. The grammar in this is statement is incorrect"These boxes is for the quantity of the charges"

Explanation

The given statement "These boxes is for the quantity of the charges" contains a grammatical error. The subject "boxes" is plural, but the verb "is" is singular. The correct verb form should be "are" to agree with the subject. Therefore, the statement is grammatically incorrect, making the answer "True."

Submit
9. Here's the_________ on the net that I can provide ______Which one do you like?

Explanation

The phrase "dollar amount, you" is the correct answer because it correctly completes the sentence structure and makes sense in the given context. The sentence is asking for the preferred option among the choices provided, and "dollar amount, you" is the most appropriate phrase to use in this situation. It indicates that the speaker is referring to the amount of dollars and is asking for the listener's preference.

Submit
10.  What word/s can you remove from this statement and it would still make sense?  Select all that applies."We are actually currently working on it."

Explanation

The word "currently" can be removed from the statement and it would still make sense because "We are actually working on it" conveys the same meaning. Similarly, the word "actually" can also be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence.
