Answers
A (A comma should be placed before “but” because it is a compound sentence. Remember to add a
comma when two independent clauses are joined by the FANBOYS (coordinating conjunctions).
A (An appositive is set off by commas. “the boy who returned the wallet he found” is an appositive.)
C (A. “result to” should be “result in”; B. “at around” is wrong. “At” means exact while “around” is an
estimate. We can either say “at three o’clock” or “around three o’clock.”; D. “cope up” should be “cope
with”. C. We usually hear people say “favor from you”, but “favor of you” is correct [check Celce-Murcia’s
The Grammar Book].)
A (B.“Me and Mila” should be “Mila and I” because the pronoun is in the subject position; C. “him self”
should be “himself”; D. “which is on the desk” is an appositive, therefore, it should be set off by
commas.
D (A. Called off means to cancel; B. Call up means to bring up/retrieve from memory; C. Call back means
to return call; D. call down means to reprimand)
