Try a sample Vocabulary — style, mood, tone question

Question 1Easy

Which option correctly uses an apostrophe? The sentence is about belongings owned by more than one student.

A) The students' bags were left on the oval after the athletics carnival.
B) The student's bags were left on the oval after the athletics carnival.
C) The students bags' were left on the oval after the athletics carnival.
D) The students bags were left on the oval after the athletics carnival.

Answer: Option A is correct — When showing possession for a plural noun ending in 's', the apostrophe is placed after the 's' (students'). Option C correctly writes 'students'' to indicate the bags belong to multiple students.

Question 2Medium

Which of the following sentences correctly uses the passive voice? The context involves reporting on an environmental clean-up project along a beach in Western Australia.

A) Volunteers collected over three hundred kilograms of rubbish from the beach.
B) Over three hundred kilograms of rubbish were collected by volunteers from the beach.
C) The beach had volunteers who collected over three hundred kilograms of rubbish.
D) Collecting over three hundred kilograms of rubbish, the beach was cleaned by volunteers.

Answer: Passive voice requires the object to become the subject with a 'be' verb and past participle ('were collected'), and the original subject follows 'by'; option B correctly demonstrates this structure.

Question 3Hard

Which option correctly rewrites the following sentence to eliminate the double negative? 'Anika didn't see nobody at the Fremantle markets when she arrived early on Sunday morning.'

A) Anika didn't see nobody at the Fremantle markets when she arrived early on Sunday morning.
B) Anika saw nobody at the Fremantle markets when she arrived early on Sunday morning.
C) Anika didn't see anybody not at the Fremantle markets when she arrived early on Sunday morning.
D) Anika didn't never see nobody at the Fremantle markets when she arrived early on Sunday morning.

Answer: A double negative ('didn't see nobody') is grammatically incorrect in standard English. The sentence is corrected by removing one negative, giving 'saw nobody' (or alternatively 'didn't see anybody'). Option B correctly eliminates the double negative.
