Sports are a significant part of life for people all across the world, as was demonstrated in 2006 when billions of people came together to be involved with the World Cup either through playing, watching or thru advertising.

World Cup either through playing, watching or advertising.

This sentence tests your knowledge of capitalization and awareness of parallelism. The original sentence is incorrect because it destroys the parallelism (i.e. thru advertising instead of simply “advertising”) and uses the informal spelling of through (i.e. “thru”). By ending with “for it” the author is also implying that one may “play for it” and “watch for it,” and although one may play for the World Cup through a grammar stretch, one cannot possibly “watch for it” and do the same thing as one who simply “watches it.” Choice "World Cup either through playing, watching or advertising" uses the appropriate capitalization (because the World Cup is a major sports event it is a proper noun that must be capitalized) and maintains strict parallelism in the concluding list of ways to be involved.

(35-47) is correct. We use parentheses to indicate the page numbers in the book where this information may be found.

Which of the following is a simple sentence?

The cat with the shiny blue collar and the white paws belongs to my great-aunt Ellie. (D)

(D) The cat with the shiny blue collar and the white paws belongs to my great-aunt Ellie. A simple sentence contains one independent clause only, with a subject and verb, as does choice (D). Note that the long compound phrase "with the shiny blue collar and the white paws" is a prepositional phrase describing the subject, "cat," and "to my great-aunt Ellie" is another prepositional phrase describing the belonging. Choice (A) is not a complete sentence since it does not express a complete thought. Choice (B) is a complex sentence, containing one dependent and one independent clause. Choice (C) is a compound sentence made up of two independent clauses joined with a coordinating conjunction.

A growing technology trend is to merge multiple devices with complimentary functions such as a phone, music player and the scheduling features of a planner.

a planner.

The sentence is incorrect because it does not follow parallelism. A list that begins by naming devices (i.e. phone, music player) must continue and finish in that way. Although it is informative to include the details about a planner's features, it should be accompanied by the features of a phone and a music player if that is the way the sentence is being written.
