Free SAT test Sample Questions -Answers with explanations (51-70)

1 D: "British Navy" is a singular collective noun. To agree, the verb should be "was" rather than the plural "were."

2. D: The incorrectly plural verb "are" should be "is" to agree with the singular subject "smoking."

3. B : The singular verb "includes" should be plural here to agree with the plural subject "signs."

4. C: The possessive pronoun modifying "trigonometry homework" should be the singular "his" here to agree with the singular "Either Philip or Joe," not the plural "their."

5. C: The preposition here should be "besides," meaning except or in addition to, not "beside," meaning next to or alongside of.

6. E: This is correct as written. The speaker appreciates the helping, not you, so the object is "helping" and "your" modifies "helping." Using "you" here is a common error.

7. D: The correct spelling of the adverb indicating location is "here." "Hear" is the spelling of the verb meaning to perceive sound.

8. B: The correct spelling is "affected," meaning to influence or have an impact on. "Effected" means caused or accomplished, e.g. "Our conversation effected a change."

9. C: To modify/describe "opposed," the correct spelling is the adverb "altogether" (one word), meaning entirely/completely/wholly. The two words "all together" have a different meaning, e.g. "The committee members were all together yesterday."

10. D: The plural subject "flies" requires the plural verb "attack," not the singular "attacks."

11. B: "This kind of sweater" is correct; adding the article "a" is incorrect. When describing something as a "kind of/type of," this expression places the described thing into a category. The category itself does not refer to a specific individual of that type (in this example, sweater).

12. E: The sentence is correct as it is written.

13. C: The correct spelling of the verb meaning to agree is "assent." The spelling here, "ascent," is a noun meaning a climb or upward progress, literally or figuratively.

14. C: The correct plural present perfect tense of "to go" is "have gone," not "have went," which is never a correct construction in any context.

15. B: The past tense of the verb "to sink" is "sank," not "sunk," which is the present perfect or past perfect (e.g. is or are sunk, has or have sunk, was or were sunk).

16. B: The correct spelling is "complement," meaning in math (as it does here), the angle that, added to a given angle, produces a right angle (here, 30+60=90). In modern English, complement means the full amount required; or something that completes, perfects, or goes well with something else. The spelling "compliment," incorrectly used here, means praise or flattery.

17. B: The verb "drive" should be modified here by the adverb "cautiously," not by the adjective "cautious," which should only modify a noun (e.g. "Cautious behavior is advised.")

18. B: The correct spelling is "council," meaning an assembly of persons or an executive, legislative, or administrative body assisting or advising a leader. "Counsel," meaning attorney at law, could also be correct here. There is no such word as "counsil."

19. D: The subject "scurvy" is singular; to agree, the verb "results" is required, not the plural "result."

20. B: The plural subject "discs" requires the plural verb "offer," not the singular "offers."
