Great job on providing your answers! Let's go through each question and determine whether your answers are correct.
1. "A number of small bruises __________ present upon examination."
To determine the correct answer for subject-verb agreement, we need to consider whether "a number" is considered a singular noun or a plural noun. In this case, "a number" is considered a singular noun, and the verb should agree with it. The correct answer is A) "was".
2. "A) The patient was brought to the operating room, and we induced general endotracheal anesthesia, and then prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
B) The patient was brought to the operating room, induced in general endotracheal anesthesia, and then prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
C) The patient was brought to the operating room, induced in general endotracheal anesthesia, and we then prepped and draped him in the usual sterile fashion."
To determine the correct answer for parallel structure, we need each phrase to be in the same form. In this case, option A) and C) have inconsistent parallelism, while option B) maintains parallel structure throughout the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is B).
3. "The patient's husband is older than __________."
To determine the correct pronoun usage, we need to determine whether "her" or "she" is appropriate as the object of the preposition 'than'. In this case, we need to use the object form of the pronoun, so the correct answer is A) "her".
4. "None of the symptoms of nausea and vomiting __________ returned."
To determine the correct verb form, we need to consider whether "none" is considered singular or plural. Although "symptoms" is a plural noun, "none" is a quantifier that implies negation and represents the absence of something. In this case, "none" is considered singular, and the verb should agree with it. The correct answer is A) "has".
