Sample questions
Question 1 — Easy
Priya walked to the oval and ___ her water bottle on the bench.
Answer: The opening verb 'walked' is in the simple past tense, so the second verb must also be in the simple past tense to maintain consistency. 'Placed' is the correct simple past form. 'Places' is present tense, 'is placing' is present continuous, and 'will place' is future tense — all of which break tense consistency.
Question 2 — Medium
Which of the following is a compound sentence?
Answer: A compound sentence joins two independent main clauses with a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Option B joins 'The sun set over the outback' and 'the dingoes began to howl' with 'and' — both clauses are complete and grammatically independent. Option A contains a relative clause ('where the cassowary makes its nest') — it is complex. Option C opens with a subordinate clause ('Although the heat was intense') — complex. Option D contains an embedded relative clause ('which aired last Tuesday') — also complex.
Question 3 — Hard
Read the sentence below and choose the option that places the apostrophe correctly. 'The rangers report about the kangaroo population in Kakadu National Park was published online.'
Answer: Option A is correct — The sentence refers to one ranger's report, so the apostrophe goes before the 's': 'ranger's'. Option B ('rangers'') would indicate a report belonging to multiple rangers.
