• True

• False

For revising questions, you may need to read more of the passage and look at the sentences around the sentence the question is asking about. 

• True

• False

What strategy is shown here?

• Looking up words in the dictionary

• Eliminating Answer Choices

• Taking Notes

• Highlighting the sentences the question is asking about to make it easier focus on

What is answer choice "A" wrong?

• Because there are multiple fish so you should use the plural form "are" not "is"

• Because "are" is mispelled 

• Because "are" and "is" should be capitalized 

• Because we always use "is" when we are talking about animals 

You can plug in answers to see if they sound right. 

• True

• False

Why is answer "D" the right choice?

• Because it spelled it correctly

• Because it used the good grammar

• Because the sentence sounded better and didn't make sense without it

• Because it had the right capitlization 

You should read ALL the answer choices to find the BEST one, because sometimes there are multiple correct answers. 

• True

• False
