1. 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).
2. A (An appositive is set off by commas. “the boy who returned the wallet he found” is an
appositive.)
3. 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].)
4. 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.
5. 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)
