Task2.Identify and choose the one word or phrase that should be corrected.
1.If(A) boss comes from(B) Moscow(C) everybody will get their(D) share(E).
2.Tom has never(A) spent his holiday(B) on the beach because(C) he(D) doesn't know to swim(E).
I don't understand this question.And what is the meaning of question?
But I think best answer is 1c and 2c.Is it right?Please tell me.If it is not right,please tell me about best answer
The question is asking which word in each sentence needs to be corrected. The words to choose from are indicated by a letter in parentheses after them.
For example, in #1, the answer is (D) and here's the reason:
Since "everybody" is the word that (D) is referring to and "everybody" is singular, then "their" needs to be made singular, too. (D) needs to be changed to "his" or "her."
Please rethink #2. Read it aloud if you need to.
I think C answer is correct in #2.Is not?Why?
No, it's E.
The sentence should read like this:
Tom has never spent his holiday on the beach because he doesn't know how to swim. [The word "how" needs to be there with "to swim."]
I guess "to swim" could also be replaced with "swimming" but it wouldn't be a very good sentence then either.
The task requires you to identify and correct any mistakes in the given sentences. Let's break down each sentence and determine the correct answer.
1. If(A) boss comes from(B) Moscow(C) everybody will get their(D) share(E).
The mistake in this sentence is in option A. The word "If" should be capitalized since it starts a new sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is 1A.
2. Tom has never(A) spent his holiday(B) on the beach because(C) he(D) doesn't know to swim(E).
In this sentence, the mistake lies in option D. The phrase "he doesn't know to swim" should be corrected to "he doesn't know how to swim." Hence, the correct answer is 2D.
Therefore, the correct answers are 1A and 2D.
