Is Your English Shakespeare Or Shaky?

The correct answer is "The horses are in the field" because the subject "horses" is plural, so the verb "are" should also be in the plural form to match. Additionally, the use of "the" before "horses" indicates that specific horses are being referred to, and the phrase "in the field" indicates their location.

The correct answer is "He waited for the medicine to have an effect." The word "effect" is used as a noun in this sentence, meaning the result or outcome of something. The sentence is describing someone waiting for the medicine to produce a desired result or impact on their body. The word "affect" is a verb, meaning to influence or cause a change in something. The other options in the question use "effect" and "affect" incorrectly, either as verbs or in the wrong form.

The correct answer is "There isn't any." This means that there is no iced tea in the refrigerator. The use of "isn't" indicates a negative statement, while "any" emphasizes the absence of iced tea.

The correct answer is "On Saturday afternoons". This suggests that dance classes take place specifically on Saturday afternoons.

The word "to" is used in the infinite form of a verb. The infinitive form of a verb is the base form of the verb, typically preceded by the word "to." For example, in the sentence "I want to go," the word "to" is used before the verb "go" to indicate that it is in its infinitive form.

The phrase "in other words" is used to rephrase or clarify something that has been said or written in a different way. It is often used to simplify complex ideas or to provide a different perspective on a topic.

The correct answer is "Our car is stronger, better and faster than all others on the market." This answer is correct because it includes all the qualities mentioned in the other options (stronger, better, and faster) and also specifies that these qualities make it superior to all other cars on the market.

The term "less" refers to a commodity that cannot be counted individually because it is used to describe a quantity or amount that cannot be measured in whole numbers or units. Unlike "fewer" which is used for countable nouns, "less" is used for uncountable nouns. Therefore, "less" is the correct answer in this context.

A dangling modifier is a common grammar error that occurs when a modifier (in this case, "After declining for months") is not clearly and logically connected to the word or phrase it is intended to modify ("Jean tried a new tactic to increase ROI"). In this sentence, it is unclear who or what was declining for months. To correct the error, the sentence could be rewritten as "After the company's decline for months, Jean tried a new tactic to increase ROI."

"Whom" is an objective pronoun used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. It is used when referring to a person or people in a formal or written context. In this case, the correct answer is "An object" because "whom" is used to refer to an object, not a person.
