    Choose the one that best fills in the blank."___ not serious, right?"

    • A.

      You're

    • B.

      Your

    Correct Answer
    A. You're
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "You're" because it is the contraction of "you are" and fits grammatically in the sentence. The phrase "not serious, right?" implies a question about someone's seriousness, and "You're not serious, right?" is a common way to express doubt or disbelief in someone's seriousness.

    • B.

      Accelarate

    Correct Answer
    A. Accelerate
    Explanation
    The correct spelling is "Accelerate." The word is spelled with one "l" after the "c" and ends with the letter "e." The incorrect spelling "Accelarate" mistakenly adds an extra "l" after the "c."

    Correct Answer
    A. Humorous
    Explanation
    The correct spelling is "humorous." The word "humorous" refers to something that is funny or intended to provoke laughter. The incorrect spelling "humourous" is a common misspelling, as it adds an unnecessary "u" after the "o."
