Which sentence is grammatically correct?

  1. Wash, carefully, the baby with unscented, hypoallergenic soap.
  2. Wash the baby with carefully unscented, hypoallergenic soap.
  3. Carefully wash the baby with unscented, hypoallergenic soap.
  4. Wash the baby with unscented, hypoallergenic soap, carefully.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This is the most concise way to express this direction. The word carefully should describe how you wash the baby and not describe the soap used. Carefully should also be as close to the action word, wash, as possible.



Please select the combination of words that makes these sentences correct:

“I’m searching for good _____________that will help me get my finances in order. Can you _____________me on what I should do?”

  1. advise, advise
  2. advice, advise
  3. advise, advice
  4. advice, advice

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Advice is a noun and is the term used for information given in the first sentence. Advise is a verb, and is the action word in the second sentence.



Which of these sentences uses punctuation correctly?

  1. Honestly Michelle, what you are suggesting is never going to work.
  2. Honestly, Michelle, what you are suggesting is never going to work.
  3. Honestly; Michelle, what you are suggesting is never going to work.
  4. Honestly Michelle: what you are suggesting is never going to work.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Non-essential information in a sentence is set off by commas. In this case, Michelle’s name isn’t necessary for the sentence to be complete and make sense, so her name is set off by commas. Colons (:) are used to indicate that more information is to follow and that is not the case in this sentence. Semi-colons (;) join two independent clauses, which is not happening in this sentence.



Which of these sentences is written correctly?

  1. Him likes everything except the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Him likes everything accept the Brussels sprouts.
  3. He likes everything accept the Brussels sprouts.
  4. He likes everything except the Brussels sprouts.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

He is the correct pronoun to use as a subject. Accept means to receive and would not make sense in this sentence.
**Brussels is capitalized here as the vegetable is named for the city of Brussels. However, some publications choose to leave it lowercase, so you may see it written both ways.
