Unit 1 - Grammar Final Test

The correct answer is "carried, Carried". The word "carry" is being combined with the past tense suffix "-ed" to form the word "carried". The first letter of the word "carried" can be capitalized to form "Carried", which indicates that it is the beginning of a sentence or a proper noun.

The correct answer is "It rained yesterday, and the roads are now icy and very slippery." This answer correctly combines the two independent clauses with a comma and a coordinating conjunction "and." This creates a compound sentence, indicating that the rain yesterday is the cause of the icy and slippery roads. The other options either create a sentence with a contradictory meaning (using "but" or "although") or have incorrect punctuation and wording.

The correct answer is "Will you help me with my project? I really need a good mark I didn’t do well on the last one." This answer is correct because it correctly punctuates the sentence by adding a question mark at the end, indicating that the speaker is asking a question. It also maintains the original wording and meaning of the sentence.

The correct answer is "Your job is to peel the carrots, wash them, cut them into slices, and put them in with the stew." This answer correctly uses commas to separate each action in the list of tasks. Each action is given equal importance and is clearly delineated, making the sentence easier to read and understand.

A, B, and C are all correct because they all convey the same meaning. They all explain that some people spend money foolishly because they do not understand the value of a dollar. The use of "because," "as," and "since" all indicate the cause-effect relationship between the lack of understanding and the foolish spending.

The correct answer is "The boy in the red jacket, who is waiting for the SkyTrain, looks happy." This answer is correct because it uses commas to set off the phrase "in the red jacket" and the phrase "who is waiting for the SkyTrain." These phrases provide additional information about the boy and are not necessary to the main sentence structure.

The correct answer is "His favourite snack is taco chips, burritos, and a coke after school." The commas are correctly placed to separate the items in the list (taco chips, burritos, and a coke) and there is no comma after "coke" as it is the last item in the list.

The correct answer includes the use of commas to set off the appositive phrase "the Grad Class President" which provides additional information about Jane. The commas indicate that this information is nonessential and can be removed from the sentence without changing its meaning.

The correct answer is "Both B and C are correct" because both options B and C provide a logical explanation for the cause and effect relationship between Frank not knowing about the grammar test until the last minute and him not studying much. Option B suggests that Frank didn't study much because he didn't know about the test until the last minute, while option C suggests that Frank didn't study much because he didn't know about the test until the last minute and also because he didn't study much.

The correct answer is "The vacation was horrible because of the cold temperatures, strong winds, and rainy weather." This answer is correct because it properly separates the different elements of the sentence using commas. The use of commas helps to clarify that "cold temperatures," "strong winds," and "rainy weather" are all separate factors contributing to the horrible vacation experience.

The sentence "Despite her hatred for shopping, my sister agreed to go to the mall with her friend Jane" shows a proper pronoun reference because the pronoun "her" clearly refers to "my sister" and the pronoun "she" clearly refers to "her friend Jane."
