Yes, your answers are correct. Let me explain how to arrive at each answer:
11. To determine if a modifier is correctly used, we need to look for coherence and clarity. In sentence A, "sharply" is an adverb that modifies the verb "spoke," indicating the manner in which he spoke. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
12. In this question, we are looking for a word used as a predicate adjective, which modifies the subject. Sentence B, "Jerry looks ill today," uses the word "ill" as a predicate adjective to describe Jerry. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
13. An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object of a verb. In sentence C, "They gave me a bonus," the direct object is "bonus," and "me" is the indirect object as it receives the action of the verb "gave." Therefore, the correct answer is C.
14. A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a transitive verb. In sentence B, "They won the game," the verb "won" has a direct object "game" as it receives the action of winning. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
15. The simple predicate is the main verb in a sentence that shows the action or state of being. In the sentence "The men finished the game in a short time," the simple predicate is "finished" as it is the main verb showing the action. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
16. We are looking for the correct spelling of a plural noun. In this case, "buffaloes" is the correct spelling for the plural form of "buffalo." Therefore, the correct answer is D.
17. The part of the sentence in italics needs to be correctly capitalized. In sentence C, "Jim must drive to the North to study the northern lights," the word "North" is capitalized correctly as it refers to a specific region, while "northern" is lowercase as it is an adjective. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
18. The conjunctions need to be used correctly within a sentence. In sentence D, "Neither beauty nor popularity was considered in the contest," the conjunction "nor" is used correctly to join two negative elements. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
19. The verb needs to agree with the subject in number (singular or plural). In sentence D, "Not only the muffler but also the spark plugs need to be replaced," the subject "muffler" is singular, so the verb "need" agrees with it. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
20. The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In the sentence "During the night, the frightened child called for his mother and father," the simple subject is "child" as it is the main noun that the sentence is focusing on. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
