Hi parents,


I came across some questions when I was doing homework with my DD and I am quite confused. Hope that someone can enlighten me.

The questions are:

Punctation- Spot the errors and retype the whole sentence.

Q1) He is a strong healthy boy.
Answer is: He is a strong,healthy boy. (I thought we should put \"He is a strong and healthy boy\" instead of using \"comma\")?

Q2) _ is someone who lift weights call?
a) How
b) What
c) Which
d)Why

Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

Q3) _is the weather in Japan during Spring?
a) How
b) What
c)Why
d) When

Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

Q1) He is a strong healthy boy.
Answer is: He is a strong,healthy boy. (I thought we should put \"He is a strong and healthy boy\" instead of using \"comma\")?

It's not wrong to write \"He is a strong and healthy boy.\"
But it's a punctuation question, so i think that's why the inserted comma is the correct answer.
Incidentally, in this sentence, strong and healthy are used as coordinate adjectives that describe the noun (boy). We use commas to separate these adjectives.
If you can change the order of the words (healthy, strong) or add 'and' between the adjectives (strong and healthy), without changing the meaning of the sentence, these are coordinate adjectives and a comma is required.

Q3) _is the weather in Japan during Spring?
a) How

c)Why
d) When

Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

I think Q2 should be ans (b) What.
Q3 should be (a) How, so your answer's right

[i3mum]

Oh, I typed wrongly.


For Q2, the given option has included\" Who\" & the answer is \"What\" instead of Who.

For Q3, the answer marked in the system is \"what\" instead of \"How\".

It sounds strange to me.

Your Q3 is correct but your Q2 is wrong the correct answer should be c, What.
Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

I think Q2 should be ans (b) What.

[CayennePepper]

In questions, \"who\" and \"what\" act as (interrogative) pronouns that represent the answers to the questions.


If we replace \"someone who lifts weights\" with \"he\", Q2 would read as:
_ is he called?
Then it would be easier to see that the appropriate pronoun to use is \"What\" and not \"who\" in this case.

For Q3, the typical usage is \"How is the weather?\" and \"What is the weather like?\". The word \"like\" wasn't in Q3, unfortunately, or the answer would be more obvious.
Actually, I think \"What is the weather like\" is a better construction because What is ... like is used to describe the character or quality of something. \"How is the weather\" is acceptable and widely used, but if we want to be picky, it can sound like we're asking about the mood of the weather i.e. how it's feeling :rotflmao:

(1) kept

Answered as (1) kept. Thought that could is past tense of can and hence also need to use kept. The right answer should be (3). Anyone can help to explain…
