Numbers 4 and 6 are wrong. The rest are correct.

How are 4 and 6 wrong?

4 is Principal because it is as a sum of money

and 6 is large "stationery" tools

How can the tools be static ?

Sorry, I was wrong about 4. However, 6 is stationary because the tools don't move.

The first one was wrong.

and that is harsh because I know I should depend on my self but this should be a legitimate site and you should not confuse students like this.

I changed 6 because I suspected you would be wrong again.

I went wrong on my last test because you told me I was wrong, and I was really confused.

This is very disappointing. You all are supposed to HELP us, not misguide us further.

I hope you did not disregard this message !!!

#1. is wrong, the correct answer is lend.

TWO WRONG!!!!!

To determine the correct answer for each question, we need to understand the difference between the options and use the context provided in the sentence.

1. The bank will not (lend, loan) money for home repairs.
- The correct answer is "loan." We choose this option because when dealing with money, banks typically "lend" or "loan" it to individuals or businesses. In this case, we need to choose the correct word that fits the context of borrowing money.

2. My allergies sometimes cause me to (loose, lose) my voice.
- The correct answer is "lose." We choose this option because when something is misplaced or no longer in possession, we use the word "lose." In this case, the sentence implies that the person's allergies affect their voice, not that their voice is getting physically detached from them.

3. Please leave the report on the desk, and either John or (myself, I) will pick it up.
- The correct answer is "I." We choose this option because "I" is the subject pronoun, which is appropriate in this sentence. "Myself" is a reflexive pronoun and should only be used when the subject and object of the sentence refer to the same entity.

4. The (principal, principle) earned almost no interest last year.
- The correct answer is "principal." We choose this option because the term "principal" refers to the original sum of money or the most important person in a school. In this context, it is likely referring to the money earning interest.

5. The parade (preceded, proceeded) down Main Street in spite of the rain.
- The correct answer is "proceeded." We choose this option because "proceeded" means to continue or move forward. The word "preceded" means to come before something.

6. The small workshop was full of large (stationary, stationery) tools.
- The correct answer is "stationary." We choose this option because "stationary" refers to something that is not moving or fixed in one place. "Stationery" refers to writing materials such as paper, pens, etc.

7. We were (suppose, supposed) to meet the mayor at the reception.
- The correct answer is "supposed." We choose this option because it is the past tense of the verb "suppose," which means to expect or assume something.

8. (They're, There) are twenty-four computers in each English lab.
- The correct answer is "There." We choose this option because "There" refers to a location or existence of something. "They're" is a contraction of "They are," which doesn't fit in the context of the sentence.

9. Let the doorman know when (you're, your) ready to leave.
- The correct answer is "you're." We choose this option because "you're" is a contraction of "you are," and it fits the context of the sentence. "Your" indicates possession, which wouldn't make sense in this case.

10. I would like to know (who's, whose) jacket this is.
- The correct answer is "whose." We choose this option because "whose" is used to indicate possession or ownership. "Who's" is a contraction of "who is," which doesn't make sense in this context.
