Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised.

Yesterday I fell down the stairs and then tried to act like I did so on purpose.

  1. Yesterday I fell down the stairs and then
  2. Yesterday I fell down the stairs, I
  3. I fell down the stairs yesterday, I
  4. After I fell down the stairs yesterday; I
  5. Falling down the stairs; I

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. B and C are run-ons. D and E misuse their semicolons: the parts before them are not independent clauses.



Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised.

Lockers in schools are often dilapidated, making student's valuables susceptible to theft.

  1. making student's valuables susceptible to theft
  2. which makes student's valuables susceptible to theft
  3. that makes student's valuables susceptible to theft
  4. that makes students' valuables susceptible to theft
  5. making students' valuables susceptible to theft

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

This sentence is wrong because of a possession error. Not just one student possesses lockers and many valuables. The sentence refers to "lockers in schools," and your typical student doesn't just have a ton of lockers to choose from! Because multiple entities (i.e. people) possess the valuables referred to, the clause needs to become "making students' valuables susceptible to theft." Choices A, B and C all fail to correct this possession error, and choice D mistakenly places "that" after the comma when "which" would be the only appropriate way to begin the descriptive clause. If there was no comma or a replacement semi-colon preceding (coming before) "that" then the sentence would have been okay. Only choice E corrects the possession error and makes a fitting descriptive clause.



Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised.

Fleeing the horde of zombies on foot, an apparently safe building became visible to the terrified couple.

  1. an apparently safe building became visible to the terrified couple.
  2. the terrified couple spotted a building that looked safe.
  3. a safe looking building was spotted by the terrified couple.
  4. the terrified couple's luck changed when they spotted a safe looking building.
  5. their fear subsided somewhat when the terrified couple would spot a safe looking building.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Choice A, C, D, and E are all dangling modifiers. Who was fleeing the horde? The terrified couple was.



Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised.

Natural disasters have been increasingly effecting nearly every part of the world in the past decade with catastrophic tornadoes, hurricanes and tsunamis.

  1. have been increasingly effecting
  2. has been increasingly effecting
  3. have been increasingly affecting
  4. will be increasingly effecting
  5. will be increasingly affecting

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The only problem with the underlined portion of this sentence is the use of the word "effecting" instead of "affecting." When an object/s undergoes changes, these changes are effects such as in the following sentence:
John's excellent attendance at school has had positive effects on his education. However, in the verb form, "effects" turns into "affects" such as in the following sentence: John's excellent attendance has affected his education. Noun (effect) vs. verb (affect). Only choice C and choice E properly used "affecting" but choice E uses the future tense when the sentence clearly describes an occurrence of the past ("...in the past decade...").
Choice C is correct.

Q 60) Will data cached in a warehouse be lost when the warehouse is resized? I think B is correct answer. Refer - https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/warehouses-considerations Decreasing the size of a running warehouse removes compute resources from the warehouse. When the computer resources are removed, the cache associated with those resources is dropped, which can impact performance in the same way that suspending the warehouse can impact performance after it is resumed.
