Grammar And Punctuation! Hardest Questions! Trivia Quiz

The correct answer is "I have seen her for several visits." This option uses the correct verb tense, "have seen," which is the present perfect tense. The verb "saw" in the first option is incorrect as it is the past tense, and "has seen" in the second option is also incorrect as it uses the wrong subject-verb agreement. The last option, "I will seen her for several visits," is also incorrect as it uses the wrong verb tense, "will seen," instead of "will see."

The correct answer is "On exam, she has a decent range of motion but a moderately severe hallux valgus to her left toe." This answer accurately describes the situation where the person being examined has a good range of motion but also has a moderately severe hallux valgus in their left toe.

The correct answer is "He does not involve in any heavy activity, pulling, pushing, or straining." This sentence uses the correct adjective form "heavy" to describe the noun "activity." The other options use incorrect forms of the adjective, either "heaviest" or "heavier."

The correct answer is "has not been." This is the most grammatically correct option because it uses the present perfect tense to indicate an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The phrase "has not been" indicates that the person has not been near the factory for a year and a half, which explains why they continue to have bronchospastic symptoms.

The most grammatically correct option is "prescribed." In this context, it means that someone recommended or authorized the use of Coumadin 5 mg b.i.d. for him.

The correct answer is "It is a dull aching that occasionally seems to give out on him." In this sentence, the phrase "give out on him" is the correct idiom to use. "Give out" means to fail or stop working properly. In this context, it suggests that the dull aching occasionally becomes more intense or unbearable for him.

The correct answer is "I have recently added Isoclor b.i.d." This option is the most grammatically correct because it follows the standard rules of punctuation. The commas are not necessary in this context, and the abbreviation "b.i.d." is correctly used without any spaces between the letters.

The correct answer is "In addition, she has had vomiting almost every day." This sentence is correctly punctuated because it uses a comma to separate the introductory phrase "In addition" from the main clause "she has had vomiting almost every day." The other options either lack a comma or have misplaced commas, which makes them incorrect.

The sentence is listing different parts of the eye: the cornea, anterior chamber, and lens. To separate these items, commas should be used. In addition, the word "slit-lamp" is a compound adjective describing the exam, so a hyphen should be used to connect the two words. Therefore, the correct punctuation is a comma at (C) and (D) and a hyphen at (B).

The correct answer is "I stressed again with him that I find no evidence of AIDS or a pre-AIDS-type illness, and I hope I reassured him sufficiently to decrease his anxiety." This option is correct because it uses the word "sufficiently" which means to a satisfactory degree or extent. It implies that the speaker hopes to have provided enough reassurance to decrease the person's anxiety.

The correct answer is "Comma at A, hyphen at B and period at (C)". This is because a comma is used to separate items in a list, and in this case, it is separating the different punctuation marks at A, B, and C. A hyphen is used to join words or parts of words together, and in this case, it is joining the words "yellowish" and "purulent". A period is used to indicate the end of a sentence or a complete thought, and in this case, it is indicating the end of the sentence after "leucorrhea".

The correct answer is "When the patient turned about 12, she started having nausea and vomiting which began about four days ago." This is the correct answer because it uses a comma to separate the introductory phrase "When the patient turned about 12" from the main clause "she started having nausea and vomiting." Additionally, it correctly uses a comma before the relative pronoun "which" to indicate that the following clause is nonessential information.

The correct answer is "Comma at E and periods at B,C,D,F and G." This is because the sentence structure suggests that each phrase after the commas and periods is a separate statement or observation. A comma is used at E to separate the statement about the lungs being clear from the rest of the sentence. Periods are used at B, C, D, F, and G to indicate the end of each separate statement or observation.

The correct answer is "This was tried for about three months and did not help." This sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. It states that something was tried for a specific duration of time (about three months) and that it did not provide any assistance or benefit. The other options either have unnecessary punctuation or incorrect sentence structure.

The correct answer is "Commas at A,B,C,D,F and period at E and G" because the given sentence contains a list of medications (A, B, C, and D) which should be separated by commas. Additionally, there is a statement about the lack of oxygen in the home (F) which should also be separated by a comma. Lastly, the sentence mentions "Darvocet (E)" and "oversee her medications (G)" which are two separate ideas and should be separated by a period.

The sentence is correctly punctuated with a comma at (C) and an apostrophe at (E). The comma at (C) is used to separate the introductory phrase "I started the patient on Dilantin 200 mg per day" from the main clause "and I have told the mother that this would be for 6 months trial period." The apostrophe at (E) is used to indicate possession, showing that the 6 months trial period belongs to the mother.

The correct sentence is "He is going to pain clinic again for further assessment." The incorrect sentence uses the preposition "for" instead of "to" before "pain clinic." The correct preposition to use in this context is "to" because it indicates the destination or purpose of someone's action. Therefore, the sentence should be "He is going to pain clinic again for further assessment."

The correct answer is "The patient is having some pain along the medial aspect of his left knee." This is the correct option because it accurately describes the location of the pain, stating that it is along the medial aspect of the left knee. The other options describe the pain as being around or inside the medial aspect, which may not accurately convey the exact location of the pain.

The incorrect sentence is "The patient states that he has seen at this pain clinic and was given a lumbar epidural injection one week ago." This sentence is incorrect because the verb "seen" should be replaced with "was seen" to maintain consistency in verb tense.

The sentence "He has again being informed that an implant stimulator was recommended" is incorrect because it uses the incorrect form of the verb "be". The correct form should be "been" instead of "being". The correct sentence should be "He has again been informed that an implant stimulator was recommended."

The correct answer is "She vomits, in addition, if she eats spicy food." This sentence is correctly punctuated because it uses commas to separate the phrase "in addition" from the rest of the sentence. The first comma indicates a pause after "in addition," and the second comma is used before the conditional clause "if she eats spicy food." This punctuation helps to clarify the meaning of the sentence and make it easier to read and understand.

The correct option is "has, its". In this sentence, "Some of the patient's tumor" is a singular subject, so it requires the singular verb "has". Additionally, "its" is the correct possessive pronoun to refer to the tumor's edges.

The patient is able to balance himself normally on one foot. There appeared to be no problem with coordination.

The correct answer is "The patient states that he has not noticed any significance help." This sentence is incorrect because it uses the word "significance" instead of "significant." The correct sentence should be "The patient states that he has not noticed any significant help."

In a list of three or more items, commas should be used to separate each item, including a comma before the conjunction (known as the Oxford comma). The correct sentence (B) uses commas properly to separate the four items in the list. Other options either misuse commas or omit necessary ones, making the sentence grammatically incorrect.

The correct option is "have, their". In this sentence, "Each of these medications" is the subject, which is plural. Therefore, the verb "have" should be used instead of "has". Additionally, "their" is used to refer to the plural subject "medications".

The correct answer is "She states that she vomits 'phlegm' and sometimes vomits yellow bile which tastes bitter." This sentence is correctly punctuated because the quotation marks around the word "phlegm" are used to indicate direct speech or a quote. The comma after "phlegm" is not needed because there is no need for a pause in this sentence.

The patient will remain on crutches for the next six weeks. At that time another set of x-rays will be carried out to assess the progress of healing.

The correct prepositions to fill in the blanks are "on", "of", and "of". The sentence suggests that the speaker tried to obtain steroids for the person mentioned, but she prefers using prednisone instead. This choice helps her save money on other medications.

The correct answer is "on". This is because when we talk about pain and swelling in a specific body part, we use the preposition "on". For example, we say "on the left knee" to indicate that the pain and swelling are located specifically on the knee.
