  • 2. 

    Please tell me if _____________ going to go down to the store or not because I need a few things.

    • You're

    • Your

    Correct Answer
    A. You're
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "you're." In the given sentence, the speaker is asking the person if they are going to go down to the store or not. "You're" is the contraction of "you are," which fits grammatically and makes sense in the context of the sentence.

    _______________ my best friend and my confidant. I don't know what I would do without you.

    • You're

    • Your

    Correct Answer
    A. You're
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "You're". In this sentence, the contraction "You're" is the correct choice because it is short for "You are". It is used to express the speaker's gratitude and dependence on someone who is both their best friend and confidant. The word "Your" would be incorrect in this context as it shows possession, which does not fit the intended meaning of the sentence.

    • There

    • Their

    • They're

    Correct Answer
    A. There
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "there." This is because "there" is used to indicate a place or location, which fits the context of the sentence. In this case, the speaker is asking someone to put the package down in a specific place. "Their" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, and "they're" is a contraction of "they are," neither of which would make sense in this sentence.

In the context of the sentence, it is telling someone to quiet down in a specific location, which is the classroom. "Their" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership, and "they're" is a contraction of "they are." Neither of these options would make sense in the given sentence.

    Explanation

    ____________ are a million reasons why I won't give you a loan.

    • Their

    • They're

    A. There
    Explanation
    The word "There" is the correct answer because it is used to indicate a location or existence. In this sentence, "There" is used to introduce the noun phrase "a million reasons" and shows that the speaker is referring to the reasons as a collective entity. The other options, "Their" and "They're", do not fit in the context of the sentence and would not make grammatical sense.

    Correct Answer
    A. There, their
    Explanation
    If the project is not chosen as the best in the school, problems will arise for the individuals or group associated with it. "There" refers to a location or a point being made, indicating that the problems exist or will occur. "Their" is a possessive pronoun, indicating that the problems will directly affect the individuals or group associated with the project.
