Question 2

Find the correct form of the word to use in the sentence He explained the concepts ___ Giving him the prize was the ___ decision.
A)- correct, correctly
B)correctly, correct
C)correct, correct-
D)correctly, correctly

Accepted Answer

The correct form of the word to use in the first blank is "correctly" because it is modifying the verb "explained," thus an adverb is needed. In the second blank, "correct" is the right choice because it is modifying the noun "decision," making an adjective necessary.

A)the inspector was never more sure of the fact that rajiv was lying.
B)the inspector was never more surer of the fact that rajiv was lying.
C)the inspector was never most surer of the fact that rajiv was lying.
D)the inspector was never most sure of the fact that rajiv was lying.

Accepted Answer

The correct sentence is "the inspector was never more sure of the fact that rajiv was lying" because it correctly uses the comparative form "more sure" without redundancy or grammatical errors.
