Answer Key

1. C 
Words
 such as neither, each, many, either, every, everyone, everybody and any should take a singular pronoun. Here we are assuming that the subjectis female, and so use “her.”  The subject could be male, in which case we would use “his,” however that is not one of the choices in this case.

2. A
A Pronoun should conform to its antecedent in gender, number and person.

3. B
Use the singular verb form when nouns are qualified with “every” or “each,” even if they are joined by ‘and. ’

4. A
When two subjects are linked with “with” or “as well,” use the verb form that matches the first subject.

5. C
Always use the singular verb form for nouns like politics, wages, mathematics, innings, news, advice, summons, furniture, information, poetry, machinery, vacation, scenery etc.

6. B
Use a singular verb with either, each, neither, everyone and many.

7. A
When two subjects are linked by “either,” “or,” “nor,” or “neither,” use a verb that matches the second subject.

8. D
When talking about something that didn’t happen in the past, use the past perfect (if I had done).

9. C
“Lie” means to recline, and does not take an object.  “lay” means to place and does take an object. Peter lay the books on the table, or the telephone poles were lying on the road.

10. B
Present tense, “ran well” is correct.  “Ran good” is never correct.
