Thank you Ms. Sue!
You're welcome, Jenny.
Here are the correct answers for the questions:
1. The correct answer is A) The box of medical books was heavy. The verb form "was" agrees with the singular noun "box."
2. The correct answer is B) My boss and I are going to dinner together. When referring to yourself and someone else as the subject of a sentence, use the pronoun "I" instead of "me" and place it after the other person's name or pronoun.
3. The correct answer is B) The time has come, students, to celebrate your success. This sentence is correctly punctuated with commas before and after the word "students" to set off the direct address.
4. The correct answer is B) Considering I rarely say no, it is no wonder I'm so busy. This sentence is correctly punctuated with a comma after the introductory phrase "Considering I rarely say no."
5. The correct answer is C) Her tumor had metastasized rapidly; therefore, she had only a short time to live. This sentence is correctly punctuated with a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb "therefore" and a comma after it.
6. The correct answer is B) There were no reported side effects. The plural verb form "were" agrees with the plural noun "side effects."
7. The correct answer is A) who. Use the pronoun "who" when the person is the subject of the verb in the relative clause. In this case, Mrs. Smith is the subject of "I have not seen."
Remember, when in doubt, it is always a good idea to review grammar rules and examples to ensure the correct answer.
