Final Exam Practicegrammar, Part I - Quiz

In this part of the exam, we will practice Conditional Sentences, Subject-Verb Agreement and Passive Voice.

Questions and Answers

1.

If he hadn't left Italy, he __________ ________ here now.
- A.
  
  Would be
- B.
  
  Wouldn't be
- C.
  
  Wouldn't have been
Correct Answer
B. Wouldn't be

Explanation
The correct answer is "wouldn't be". This answer suggests that if he hadn't left Italy, he would still be in Italy now. The use of "wouldn't" indicates a negative outcome, implying that his current location is not Italy.

Rate this question:
2.

He wishes that he ___________ an important person.
- A.
  
  Is
- B.
  
  Had been
- C.
  
  Were
Correct Answer
C. Were

Explanation
The correct answer is "were." This is because the sentence is expressing a hypothetical or unreal condition. The use of "were" is the subjunctive form, which is used to indicate something contrary to fact or a wish. In this case, the person is expressing a wish to be an important person, which is not currently true. Therefore, "were" is the correct verb form to use in this context.

________ he studies very hard, he probably won't pass that exam.
- A.
  
  If
- B.
  
  Unless
- C.
  
  Otherwise
Correct Answer
B. Unless

Explanation
The word "Unless" is the correct answer because it indicates a condition that needs to be met in order for the statement to be true. In this case, the condition is that he studies very hard. If he does not study very hard, the statement suggests that he probably won't pass the exam.

Rate this question:

- A.
  
  Doesn't
- B.
  
  Won't
- C.
  
  Wouldn't
Correct Answer
C. Wouldn't

Explanation
The correct answer is "wouldn't". This is because the sentence suggests that the person is happy in their job, and if they didn't like it, they wouldn't appear so happy. The word "wouldn't" is used to express a hypothetical situation or a contrary-to-fact condition, indicating that if the person didn't like their job, they wouldn't be happy.

6.

None of the movie __________ interesting, in my opinion.
- A.
  
  Was
- B.
  
  Were
Correct Answer

- A.
  
  Aren't
- B.

Correct Answer
B. Isn't

Explanation
The given statement implies that $800 is not considered a large amount of money to spend for a 4 1/2 room apartment in NDG. Therefore, the correct answer is "isn't" as it indicates that the amount is not excessive or unreasonable.

Rate this question:
9.

Unfortunately, only one-third of the victims __________ rescued.
- A.
  
  Was
- B.
  
  Were
Correct Answer
B. Were

Explanation
The correct answer is "were" because the subject "one-third of the victims" is plural, indicating that more than one victim was involved. Therefore, the verb "were" agrees with the plural subject.

Rate this question:
10.

Two-thirds of the population ____________________ of the death penalty.
- A.
  
  Disapprove
- B.
  
  Disapproves
Correct Answer
B. Disapproves

Explanation
The correct answer is "disapproves." In this sentence, "two-thirds of the population" is the subject, which is a plural noun. Therefore, the verb "disapproves" is incorrect because it is singular. The correct verb form should be "disapprove" to match the plural subject.
