Question

Select the sentence that has the correct punctuation.

Answer

A sentence needs to end with some form of punctuation, either a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. The two choices that don't end with a punctuation mark are not correct. Also, each sentence contains a list of items, "eggs, milk, and bread". When we have a list of three or more items, a comma needs to go between the items in a list.

The correct answer is, "I went to the store to get eggs, milk, and bread."

Question

Select the complete sentence.

Answer

A complete sentence expresses a complete thought. The sentence needs to have a subject and a verb. The only sentence that is a complete thought and has both a subject and a verb is "Each kid on the team played." The subject is "kid" and the verb is "played". The other answer choices are sentence fragments, meaning they do not express a complete thought.

Question

Select the correct word to fill in the blank.

The cat __________ on the step.

Answer

This sentence is talking about one cat, we know this because the sentence says "the cat". Because we are only talking about one cat, "were" and "are" are not correct because we would use those words to talk about more than one cat. The word "am" is used with the pronoun "I", so that is not correct. The correct answer is "is".

"The cat is on the step."
