1. Identify the grammatically correct sentence.

• A. Which one do you want?
• B. Pick the one you want.
• C. Whose one do you want?
• D. Who do you want?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct sentence is 'Which one do you want?' Choice A is grammatically correct as it forms a question using 'which' to inquire about a specific choice. Choices B, C, and D contain errors in phrasing or grammar. Choice B includes a misspelling of 'want,' choice C uses 'whose' incorrectly, and choice D incorrectly combines 'who' and 'is' without proper context.

2. Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'Children ____ obey their parents tend to do better in school.'

• A. who
• B. which
• C. should
• D. to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, 'who' is the correct pronoun to refer to 'Children,' indicating that children are the ones who obey their parents. Using 'who' makes the sentence grammatically correct by connecting the subject 'children' with the verb 'obey.' The pronoun 'which' is used for things, not people, so it is incorrect. 'Should' and 'to' do not fit in the context of the sentence and do not provide the necessary connection between 'children' and 'obey.' Therefore, the correct choice is 'who.'

3. She was so mad at her boyfriend, she __________ on him when he called.

• A. Yelled
• B. Screamed
• C. Speak
• D. Hung up

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Hung up' is correct because it is the proper phrasal verb used when referring to ending a phone call. In this context, the sentence implies that the woman ended the call abruptly due to being angry. 'Yelled' and 'Screamed' both suggest vocalizing loudly, which doesn't fit the situation described. 'Speak' is incorrect as it should be 'spoke' for proper verb tense agreement.

4. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. If Angela attends the seminar tomorrow, she ___________ the employee discount.

• A. gave
• B. gives
• C. will given
• D. will be given

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: will be given.' In the sentence, the future passive voice is needed to convey that Angela will receive the employee discount if she attends the seminar. 'Will be given' is the appropriate phrase to express this passive construction. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not form the correct future passive structure required in the sentence.

5. Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Three days from now, the horses ___________.

• A. performing in a show
• B. performed in a show
• C. will perform in a show
• D. have performed in a show

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'Three days from now' indicates a future timeframe, so the correct verb tense to use is the future tense. The phrase 'will perform in a show' is the best choice to make the sentence grammatically correct because it aligns with the future action of the horses. Choice A ('performing in a show') uses the present participle and is incorrect in this context. Choice B ('performed in a show') uses the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event. Choice D ('have performed in a show') uses the present perfect tense, which is also not appropriate for a future action. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
