Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.Yesterday I fell down the stairs and then tried to act as I did so on purpose.
Answer(s): A
“Yesterday I fell down the stairs, I” and “I fell down the stairs yesterday, I” 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. Choose the correct option.Lockers in schools are often dilapidated, making student’s valuables susceptible to theft.
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.Fleeing the horde of zombies on foot, an apparently safe building became visible to the terrified couple.
Answer(s): B
“an apparently safe building became visible to the terrified couple”, “a safe looking building was spotted by the terrified couple”, “the terrified couple's luck changed when they spotted a safe looking building”, and “their fear subsided somewhat when the terrified couple would spot a safe looking building” 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. Choose the correct option.Natural disasters have been increasingly effecting nearly every part of the world in the past decade with catastrophic tornadoes, hurricanes and tsunamis.
Answer(s): C
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 “have been increasingly affecting” and choice “will be increasingly affecting” properly used “affecting” but choice “will be increasingly affecting” uses the future tense when the sentence clearly describes an occurrence of the past (“...in the past decade...”).
Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.For every song that is a hit, it is critical to have a quality “beat” and quality lyrics; however, music companies hire professional producers and song writers.
The underlined portion of this sentence is wrong because the conjunction “however” needs to properly reflect the supporting nature of the second clause—NOT a contrasting relationship. Choice “however”, “nevertheless” and “yet” all reflect a contrasting relationship when a supporting and united relationship should be here. Choice “therefore” and “and” are left. Choice “therefore” is best because the initial clause creates a premise (the requirements for a good song) that the second clause needs to support (how the requirements are met); therefore is the ideal transition for this type of cause-effect relationship.
