MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which of the following sentences uses the correct end punctuation for its intended meaning?

What a fantastic game that was.

What a fantastic game that was!

What a fantastic game that was?

What a fantastic game that was,

Answer explanation

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion and should end with an exclamation point. A period is for statements, a question mark for questions, and a comma is not end punctuation.

Read the sentence: Have you finished your homework for science class? What is the function of the question mark at the end?

It shows the sentence is a command (imperative).

It shows the sentence is a statement (declarative).

It shows the sentence is asking a question (interrogative).

It shows the sentence expresses strong feeling (exclamatory).

Answer explanation

A question mark is used at the end of an interrogative sentence, which is a sentence that asks a direct question. The other options describe the functions of different punctuation marks.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Read the sentence: I can't believe you just said that. Considering the surprised and slightly angry tone this sentence implies, which end punctuation is most appropriate?

A period (.)

A question mark (?)

An exclamation point (!)

A semicolon (;)

Answer explanation

An exclamation point is the best choice to convey the strong emotion of surprise or anger implied by the sentence's tone. A period would make it a flat statement, and a question mark is incorrect as it's not a question.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Three of these sentences use apostrophes correctly. Which sentence has an error in apostrophe usage?

The dog wagged its tail excitedly.

Who's going to the party on Friday?

All of the student's projects were impressive.

It's a beautiful day for a walk in the park.

Answer explanation

The phrase 'All of the student's projects' implies multiple students, so the possessive noun should be plural: 'students''. 'Student's' is singular possessive. 'Its' is possessive, 'Who's' is a contraction for 'who is,' and 'It's' is a contraction for 'it is,' all used correctly.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Complete the sentence with the correct word: The players left _____ jerseys in the locker room.

they're

their

there

they'res

Answer explanation

'Their' is a possessive pronoun showing that the jerseys belong to the players. 'They're' is a contraction for 'they are,' and 'there' indicates a place. 'They'res' is not a word.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Which option correctly rewrites the phrase 'the decision of the judges' using a possessive apostrophe?

the judge's decision

the judges's decision

the judges' decision

the judges decision'

Answer explanation

Since 'judges' is a plural noun ending in 's,' the possessive is formed by adding only an apostrophe after the 's'. 'Judge's' would be for a single judge.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Which part of this sentence contains a punctuation error in the dialogue? 'I'm not sure,' said Mark 'if we should go outside.'

The comma after 'sure'

The quotation marks around 'I'm not sure,'

The lack of a comma after 'Mark'

The period at the end of the sentence

Answer explanation

When a dialogue tag like 'said Mark' interrupts a single sentence of dialogue, it should be followed by a comma before the dialogue resumes. The correct sentence is: ''I'm not sure,' said Mark, 'if we should go outside.''
