1. Fill in the blank: Don’t go ________.
Options:
A. there
B. their
C. they’re
✔ Correct Answer: A. there
Explanation:
- “there” is an adverb meaning “to that place.”

- “they’re” = “they are” (contraction).
The sentence is telling someone not to go *to that place* → “Don’t go
there.”

2. Which of the following is a run-on sentence?
Options:
A. The animals are fascinating I will try to draw them.
B. I like chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
C. I have one dog, and she has three dogs.
D. I’m bored at Grandma’s house. She doesn’t have a TV.
✔ Correct Answer: A. The animals are fascinating I will try to draw them.
Explanation:
A
run-on sentence joins two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction.
- Option A has two complete thoughts:
1. “The animals are fascinating.”
2. “I will try to draw them.”
→ No comma + conjunction or period between them →
run-on.
- Option B is one simple sentence.
- Option C uses a comma + coordinating conjunction (“and”) correctly.
- Option D is two separate sentences — correctly punctuated.

3. Fill in the blank: Will the dog find ________ way home?
Options:

We need to show possession → “find
its way home”
