1. You _________ on your final exam.

• A. Worked
• B. Forgot
• C. Did well
• D. Done good

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Did well.' This phrase is commonly used to describe performance on an exam. 'Worked' does not fit the context of exam performance. 'Forgot' is incorrect as it implies forgetting something related to the exam. 'Done good' is grammatically incorrect; the correct form is 'done well.' Therefore, 'Did well' is the most appropriate choice in this context.

2. The mailperson's job is to put the __________ in every mailbox on the block.

• A. Envelopes
• B. Mail
• C. Block
• D. Every

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'Envelopes' is the correct choice as it refers to the items (envelopes) that the mailperson is responsible for delivering. The other choices are incorrect: 'Mail' (Choice B) is too general and does not specify the items to be delivered, 'Block' (Choice C) is the location and does not make sense in the context of delivering mail, and 'Every' (Choice D) is an adjective that does not complete the sentence logically.

3. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. One out of four doctors ___________ to this plan.

• A. subscribe
• B. subscribes
• C. subscribing
• D. are subscribed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence 'One out of four doctors,' the subject is 'One,' which is singular. Therefore, the verb that follows should also be singular. The correct verb form in this case is 'subscribes,' not 'subscribe' or any other form. This subject-verb agreement rule ensures that the sentence is grammatically correct. Choice A 'subscribe' is incorrect as it is in the plural form and does not agree with the singular subject. Choice C 'subscribing' is in the gerund form and does not function as the main verb of the sentence. Choice D 'are subscribed' is in the passive voice and does not match the active voice required in this sentence.

4. Select the phrase that will make this sentence grammatically correct. As the concert ended, my friends ___________.

• A. ask for a ride home
• B. asked for a ride home
• C. have asked for a ride home
• D. are asking for a ride home

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence is in past tense ('As the concert ended'). Therefore, the correct verb form to use is 'asked,' as it agrees with the past tense of the sentence. Choice A is incorrect because 'ask' is not in agreement with the past tense context. Choice C is incorrect because 'have asked' is present perfect tense, not past tense. Choice D is incorrect because 'are asking' is present continuous tense, not past tense.

5. Select the phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: 'Janet called her ____ run after a squirrel.'

• A. dog, who had
• B. dog that had
• C. dog, that had
• D. dog who had

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'dog, who had.' The phrase 'dog, who had' correctly indicates that Janet called her dog to run after a squirrel. In this case, 'who had' provides additional information about the dog, making the sentence grammatically accurate. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not use the appropriate relative pronoun 'who' for referring to animals.
