Question 4
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: The college ___ he chose is in New York.
Your Answer: Option(s)
Correct Answer: Option(s) B
Rationale
The correct answer is 'that.' In this context, 'that' is the most appropriate word to use as it introduces a defining relative clause. It specifies which college is being referred to. 'Which' is typically used in non-defining relative clauses, 'who' is used for people, and 'what' is used for objects or things. The sentence needs a word to introduce a restrictive relative clause that narrows down the specific college being referred to, making 'that' the best choice.

Question 5
What is the correct contraction for 'They are'?
Your Answer: Option(s)
Correct Answer: Option(s) B
Rationale
The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' Contractions are formed by combining pronouns and verbs to represent speech more informally. In this case, 'They're' is the appropriate contraction for 'They are.' 'Their' (choice A) is a possessive pronoun, not a contraction. 'The're' (choice C) contains a typo and is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' (choice D) is incorrect as a contraction does exist for 'They are,' which is 'They're.' Therefore, the correct answer is B.
