Nursing Elites

1. Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her teacher asked her what would she do after she graduated from nursing school.'

• A. She
• B. From
• C. Would
• D. Her

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase 'what would she do' is incorrect because in English questions, the word order for modal verbs like 'would' should be 'she would do' instead of 'would she do'. The correct structure should be 'her teacher asked her what she would do after she graduated from nursing school.' Choices A, B, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

2. The _____ of this weather was that we all got wet.

• A. result
• B. effect
• C. affect
• D. impact

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'effect' is the correct term to use as it refers to the outcome or consequence of the weather, which was that everyone got wet. 'Effect' is a noun that indicates the result of a particular action or situation. Choice A 'result' is incorrect because it refers to the outcome of an action, not the outcome of weather. Choice C 'affect' is incorrect as it is used as a verb to show influence or make a difference. Choice D 'impact' is incorrect because it refers to a strong influence or effect.

3. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

4. He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

• A. Whom
• B. That
• C. Which
• D. Whose

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'that' is the correct relative pronoun to use in this context to refer to the people who were present that night. 'Whom' is used for objects of a verb or preposition, 'which' is used for things, and 'whose' is a possessive pronoun.

5. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'

• A. patient
• B. form
• C. nurse
• D. missing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
