    • You're, your

    • Your, you're

    Correct Answer
    A. Your, you're
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "your, you're". In the sentence, "which of your cars you're going to drive tomorrow," the word "your" indicates possession, showing that the cars belong to the person being addressed. The word "you're" is a contraction of "you are" and is used to indicate the action of driving the cars.

    • Than

    A. Than
    Explanation
    The word "than" is used to make comparisons between two things. In this case, it is used to compare the numbers 5 and 3. The sentence "5 is greater than 3" means that 5 is a larger number than 3.

    Tell them _____ bring _____ more chairs _____.

    • Too, two, to

    • To, two, too

    • Two, to, too

    Correct Answer
    A. To, two, too
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "To, two, too" because "to" is used to indicate direction or movement, "two" is the number 2, and "too" means also or in addition. In the given sentence, "to" is used to indicate the action of bringing chairs, "two" is used to specify the number of chairs, and "too" is used to emphasize that more chairs are needed.

    • They're, their, there

    Correct Answer
    A. They're, there, their
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "They're, there, their". "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and is used to indicate possession or ownership. "There" is used to refer to a location or a point in a sentence. "Their" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership or belonging. In the given sentence, "They're" is used to indicate that someone or a group of people are present, "there" is used to refer to a specific location, and "their" is used to show possession of the dog.

    • Its

    • It's

    Correct Answer
    A. Its
    Explanation
    The word "its" is the correct answer because it is the possessive form of "it," indicating that the chew toy belonged to the dog. "It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," which would not make sense in this context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Effect, affected
    Explanation
    The word "effect" is used as a noun to indicate the result or consequence of something. In this context, it refers to the impact or outcome of the tornado hitting her house. The word "affected" is the past tense of the verb "affect," which means to have an influence on or cause a change in something. Therefore, the correct answer is "effect, affected," as it correctly conveys that the tornado's impact greatly changed her life.
