Woops! My answer to number 5 is C.
Great job on your answers! Here's how you can confirm whether your choices are correct:
1. To determine whether to use "require" or "requires" in the given sentence, we need to identify the subject. In this case, the subject is "fracture nor lacerations." Since this subject is plural, we need to use the plural form of the verb, which is "require." Therefore, the correct answer is A) require.
2. To choose between "who" or "whom" in the sentence, we need to identify whether the pronoun is serving as the subject or the object. In this case, the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, so we should use "who." Therefore, the correct answer is A) who.
3. In this sentence, we need to choose between the pronouns "her" or "she" to refer to the patient and another person. To determine the correct answer, we need to identify whether the pronoun is acting as an object or a subject in the sentence. In this case, the pronoun is acting as the subject, so we should use "she." Therefore, the correct answer is B) she.
4. To determine whether to use "hers" or "her's" in the sentence, we need to understand the possessive pronoun rules. The correct form of the possessive pronoun "her" is "hers" without an apostrophe. Therefore, the correct answer is A) hers.
5. In this sentence, we need to decide between the pronouns "her," "herself," or "she" to refer to a young person. The pronoun should function as the subject of the sentence. Among the options given, "she" is the correct pronoun to use in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is C) she.
Overall, your answers are correct! Well done!
