Sorry to bother you intellectuals- however, I am having some difficulty and I am asking in the most humble way if you can assist me. It is emphatically up to your choice. I'm sorry to have troubled you, except I do not possess grammatical knowledge or expertise.
I scanned the pages into my photobucket where I provide a link for each page- There's only about 5 grammar questions on each page where one must replace the underlined portion with an answer from the multiple choice.
Link for page -

Thank you so much for everyone's help- I need these answers to study for my exam- so please if it is possible, kindly supply page number and answer. I'm sorry if anyone has been offended.
Thank you I appreciate it sincerely!

I don't have a problem with these...
Page 31, answers are D, A, C, B and C for answers 6 through 10.
Page 32, answers are C, A, B, B*, D (reads best) and E for answers 11 through 16.
Page 33, answers are D*, E, D* and C for answers 17 through 20.
When in doubt, go simple and don't split infinitives...
B* Q14-B - This needs a colon to separate the two statements.
D* Q17-D - This needs a colon to separate the two statements.
D* Q19-D - no need to duplicate the fact that hospital care has increased and is also more expensive.

OK, I just looked at the first page... the two that you had circled looked correct to me.
These are really not that easy, since most of the options are grammatically correct. The question then is which one is best.
A general rule of thumb... active verbs are better than passive, and the fewer clauses the better. That is to say, the fewer commas and "breaks" in thought, the more comprehensible the sentence will be. The simpler the better.

Hello Nicole,
I would love to help you out with the answers. But first I have 2 question.
1) is this a part of your take home exam?
2) are you seeking the answers or are you seeking help with your grammar/sentence structure?
These questions are not about grammar they are about sentence structure as such, if you read the questions carefully then insert each answers provided into the space which ever answers makes the sentence flow smoothly is your best choice.
I would give you the answer but then you would not have learned any thing.
Its admirable, that you are asking for help, but be careful not to try to pass your homework off for others to answer for you.
P.S. google sentence structure and grammar tips and you will find great examples to help you with your use of past and present tense, adjectives etc. Good luck.

From looking at the ones already circled, it looks like you are on the right track. Just read the sentence and decide if it makes sense. If you heard that sentence could you understand what the person was trying to say? Just think to yourself . . . does it make sense to me? Do I know what he is saying? Or does the way it's worded make it sound wrong? Just make it sound logical.

i looked at the first one but its a bit difficult to read. You should have a go at doing the exercise yourself. It doesnt matter if you are a grammatical expert or not. If you have a go, even if you get it wrong you will learn from your mistakes. Be brave, and dont be scared of getting it wrong :)

In getting my degree and two postgrad degrees I always felt it best to do the work myself. In fact wait, isn't there a word for using somebody else's work?
It does not matter if you get it wrong Nicole, that's almost the point. It's one way of learning!
;-)
