SAT Competitive Exams English Grammar Online Quiz

The pronoun serves as the direct object of the verb "like" (Short Round likes whom). Therefore, the objective pronoun "whom" is correct instead of the subjective "who".

The subject of the sentence is compound ("The strength and the direction"), which is plural. Therefore, the plural verb "are" is required instead of the singular "is".

When comparing three or more things (the three friends), the superlative form "tallest" must be used. When comparing exactly two things (the other two), the comparative form "shorter" must be used.

"Between" is typically used for two distinct items, whereas "among" is used for three or more items in a group. Since there are three trees, "among" is the correct preposition.

The original sentence contains a comma splice because "moreover" is a conjunctive adverb, not a coordinating conjunction. To separate two independent clauses, a semicolon should be placed before "moreover" and a comma after it.

The pronoun is the direct object of the verb "attacked" (Indy attacked him/whom). Therefore, the objective case pronoun "whom" is correct.

In comparative constructions using "as... as", the pronoun after "as" is the subject of an implied verb (e.g., "as clever as he is"). Therefore, the subjective pronoun "he" is grammatically correct.

The original phrasing is redundant and wordy because "When..." already establishes the condition, making "this is when" unnecessary. Option A removes the wordiness to create a concise and grammatically correct complex sentence.

The phrase "Each year" and the word "annual" are redundant because they mean the same thing. Option A removes the redundancy while keeping the necessary comma after the introductory prepositional phrase.

The word "movie" at the end of the sentence is redundant because the sentence already begins with "Of all the movies". Removing the final "movie" makes the sentence more concise and direct.

To maintain parallel structure, all items in the list must use the same grammatical form. "Teaching" and "finding" are gerunds, so the third item should also be a gerund: "donating".

A colon is used to introduce an explanation, list, or appositive at the end of an independent clause. Here, "The Temple of Doom" explains or names the "one" movie that stands out, making the colon the most appropriate punctuation mark.

A semicolon should not be used before a coordinating conjunction like "but" when connecting two independent clauses. Instead, a comma is the correct punctuation to precede "but".

The salaries belong to multiple professors at the university, so the plural possessive form "professors'" is correct. "Professor's" is singular possessive, which would imply only one professor exists at the university.

"The insurance company" is a singular collective noun, so the singular possessive pronoun "its" is correct. "Their" is plural, and "it's" is a contraction for "it is".

Possessive pronouns such as "theirs", "ours", and "yours" do not take apostrophes. Therefore, "theirs" is the correct spelling.

"After Indy fell off the cliff" is an introductory dependent clause. A comma is required after an introductory clause to separate it from the independent clause that follows.

In this sentence, "Famous archaeologist" acts as a title or restrictive modifier directly preceding the name "Indiana Jones". Therefore, no commas should separate the description from the name or the name from the rest of the sentence.

The action of reading a book per week occurred and was completed before another past action ("started her new job last fall"). The past perfect tense ("had read") is required to show this sequence of events in the past.

To maintain parallel structure in the list of infinitive phrases ("to run", "to jump"), the third item must also use the full infinitive form "to sleep".

The pronoun is the object of the preposition "from". Therefore, the objective case pronoun "me" is correct instead of the subjective "I".

The original sentence contains a dangling modifier because "Having looked..." grammatically modifies "his face", but his face is not what looked at the ark. Option A resolves this by turning the phrase into a subordinate clause with a clear subject ("he").

In the original sentence, "Due to his rugged looks" is a misplaced modifier because it is positioned next to "the student", suggesting the student has the rugged looks rather than the teacher. Option B places the modifier clearly at the end of the sentence, making it clear that the teacher has the rugged looks.

The word "Since" indicates an action that started in the past and continues into the present. The present perfect continuous tense ("have been complaining") is required to express this ongoing action.

The main clause describes an action that was completed before another past action, which is the movie ending. Therefore, we must use the past perfect tense "had died" instead of the present perfect tense "has died."

The relative pronoun acts as the subject of the verb "was guarding" in the relative clause. Since it is a subject pronoun, "who" is correct, whereas "whom" is used for objects.

A semicolon is used to link two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. In this sentence, "Dr. Jones tossed the date into the air" and "luckily, Sallah caught it..." are both independent clauses, so a semicolon alone is the correct punctuation to join them.

A colon should be used to introduce a list that clarifies or explains the preceding independent clause. In this case, "treats, tuna, and centipedes" is a list of the "many things" the cat eats, so a colon is appropriate after "things."

The name "Coconut" is an appositive that renames "my cat." Since it is non-essential information, assuming the speaker has only one cat, it should be set off with commas on both sides.

The pronoun is the object of the preposition "to," which is needed to show the recipient of the prize. "Whom" is the objective form of "who," making "To whom" the grammatically correct and formal choice.
