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. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? He received an oral dose initially, followed by an IV drip.

• A. received
• B. dose
• C. initial
• D. followed

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'initial' is used incorrectly in the sentence. The correct word that should be used here is 'initially.' 'Initially' is an adverb that is used to indicate the beginning or starting point of an action, while 'initial' is an adjective that describes something as happening at the beginning of a process. In this context, the correct usage would be 'He received an oral dose initially, followed by an IV drip.' The other choices ('received,' 'dose,' and 'followed') are used correctly in the sentence and do not need any corrections.

3. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? For whom was that email intended?

• A. For
• B. whom
• C. that
• D. intended

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'whom' should be used instead of 'who' in the sentence to make it grammatically correct. 'Who' is used as the subject of a sentence, while 'whom' is used as the object. Therefore, the correct form of the sentence should be: 'For whom was that email intended?' Choices A, C, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not need any changes.

4. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. The girls have apparently ___________ curfew at least twice this week.

• A. broke
• B. break
• C. breaking
• D. broken

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: broken.' In this sentence, the word 'broken' is the past participle form of the verb 'break' and is needed to complete the present perfect tense. The correct sentence should be 'The girls have apparently broken curfew at least twice this week.' Choices A, B, and C do not fit grammatically in the sentence because 'broke' is the simple past tense, 'break' is the base form, and 'breaking' is the present participle, whereas the sentence requires the past participle 'broken' for the present perfect tense.

5. Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. The children and ___________ performed a skit for the elderly patients.

• A. he
• B. me
• C. them
• D. her

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, we are looking for a pronoun that refers to more than one person. The children and 'them' performed a skit for the elderly patients. 'Them' is the correct pronoun to use in this context to indicate a group of people, which is the plural form of the pronoun. Choice A, 'he,' is singular and would not match the plural subject. Choice B, 'me,' is an object pronoun and does not fit the subject position. Choice D, 'her,' is singular and does not agree with the plural subject 'children and them.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: them.'
