“Dear Editor, I have lived on Elm Street for forty years. The council’s plan to cut down the old oak trees for wider pavements would destroy the character of our street. I urge readers to attend Thursday’s meeting.” What is the writer’s main goal?
Which phrase is written correctly?
Which sentence contains an error in subject–verb agreement?
Choose the meaning of the word in bold: “After the stroke, the patient was bedridden for weeks.”
Choose the meaning of the word in bold: “The wound edges were approximated with sutures.”
答え: C · They eat the sea urchins that feed on kelp.
Otters eat sea urchins, and urchins eat kelp, so otters protect the kelp by reducing the number of urchins.
答え: A · To get readers to oppose the plan at the meeting
The writer criticises the plan and urges readers to attend the meeting, showing the goal is to rally opposition.
答え: A · five o’clock
The apostrophe in “o’clock” shows that letters are missing from the old phrase “of the clock”.
答え: A · The quality of the photos are poor.
In the first sentence the subject is “quality” (singular), so it should be “is poor”. The others agree.
答え: B · Unable to leave bed
Bedridden means confined to bed because of illness or weakness.
答え: B · Brought close together
In medicine, to approximate wound edges is to bring them together so the wound can heal. In everyday use it can also mean “estimate”.
