BK 25 L4 Grammar
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Correct the error: The student always is clicking his pen during lectures, which makes it impossible for others to focus. | ...is always clicking... (Rule: When using the present progressive to express an annoying habit, 'always' must come after the 'be' auxiliary verb and before the '-ing' main verb.) |
| Correct the error: Our old desktop computer always freezing when I am about to save my algebra assignments. | ...is always freezing... (Rule: To express a frequently repeated, frustrating habit, you must use the present progressive aspect [be + always + -ing], not just the base verb with 'always'.) |
| Correct the error: My roommate always is leaving her dirty coffee mugs in the facility kitchen instead of washing them. | ...is always leaving... (Rule: For progressive aspect sentences showing irritation, place the adverb 'always' directly between the auxiliary 'be' verb and the present participle.) |
| Correct the error: That the local factory continues to dump industrial waste in the river worries me deeply. | It worries me deeply that the local factory... (Rule: Use anticipatory 'it' to shift a heavy, awkward 'that' noun clause to the end of the sentence when using a verb of emotion like 'worry'.) |
| Correct the error: That the city council completely rejected the new medical facility plans deeply saddened the community. | It deeply saddened the community that the city council... (Rule: Sentences starting with long subject clauses sound stiff; use introductory 'it' + emotional verb + 'that' clause for natural flow.) |
| Complete the sentence: Her sudden _______ (refuse) of the job offer shocked the entire project management team. | refusal (Rule: Use the noun form 'refusal' [verb + -al] because the word functions as the head of the noun phrase acting as the sentence subject.) |
| Complete the sentence: The sudden _______ (arrive) of the thick chemical fumes forced the workers to evacuate the facility immediately. | arrival (Rule: The definite article 'the' and adjective 'sudden' signal that a noun form is required here instead of the base verb 'arrive'.) |
| Complete the sentence: After a lengthy review, the committee gave their official _______ (approve) for the new algebra curriculum. | approval (Rule: The possessive adjective 'their' and descriptive adjective 'official' modify a noun, so you must change the verb 'approve' to 'approval'.) |
| Correct the error: The company's propose to extract the natural resources without a permit led to a massive government fine. | The company's proposal to... (Rule: The company's possessive requires a noun. Change the verb 'propose' to the noun 'proposal' by adding the '-al' suffix.) |
| Complete the sentence: The city planners decided to _______ the design for the new transit hub after hearing feedback from residents. | approve (Rule: The infinitive marker 'to' requires the base verb form 'approve', not the noun form 'approval'.) |
| Complete the sentence: If you want to change your flight schedule, you must _______ your intent in writing at least forty-eight hours in advance. | propose / state (Rule: The modal verb 'must' must be followed directly by a base verb form, not a noun like 'proposal'.) |
| Correct the error: He is always pack up his notes early because he dreads missing the commuter bus after class. | He is always packing up... (Rule: To express a continuous, repetitive habit with 'always' that causes annoyance, you must use the present participle [-ing] form.) |
