Q1Which sentence uses the word 'except' or 'accept' CORRECTLY?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: The inspector accepted all submitted reports except the one with missing information.
Option C is correct: 'accepted' (received/agreed to, past tense of 'accept') and 'except' (excluding) are both used correctly. Option A should use 'accept'; option B is grammatically awkward but 'accept' is correctly used (however the double negative makes it awkward); option D should use 'except.'
Q2Identify the sentence with the correct use of 'their', 'there', or 'they're'.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: They're required to submit their reports by 6 pm.
Option B correctly uses 'they're' (they are required), and 'their' (belonging to them, their reports). The other sentences confuse the three homophones.
Q3Which word is spelled CORRECTLY?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Alleaged
'Alleged' is correctly spelled — it comes from 'allege.' Options A, C, and D all contain extra or incorrect letters. 'Alleged' is a key word in police and legal writing, meaning claimed but not yet proven.
Q4Which of the following words is spelled INCORRECTLY?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Priviledge
'Priviledge' is misspelled. The correct spelling is 'privilege' — there is no 'd' in the word. Apprehend, interrogate, and jurisdiction are all correctly spelled.
Q5Choose the option that contains NO grammatical errors.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: The constable and the detective were both present at the briefing.
Option D is correct: compound subjects joined by 'and' take a plural verb ('were'). Option A incorrectly uses 'was' with a compound subject. Option B: with 'neither/nor', the verb agrees with the nearest subject ('senior officer' is singular, so should be 'was'). Option C should be 'He and the detective.'
Q6Which of the following is spelled CORRECTLY?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Successful
'Successful' is the correct spelling: suc-CESS-ful (double s in 'success' + -ful with one l). Options A, B, and C all contain spelling errors.
