Answer Key & Marking Scheme

Assessment: Weighted Assessment 2 (WA2) - Grammar Focus
Paper: Version 4 of 5
Total Marks: 20

Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. Answer: (1) is

  • Reasoning: The subject is "The group", which is a collective noun treated as singular in this context (acting as one unit). Therefore, the singular verb "is" is correct.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "are" because "tourists" is plural. However, the head noun is "group".

2. Answer: (1) go

  • Reasoning: With "Neither... nor...", the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. The closest subject is "his brothers" (plural). Therefore, the plural verb "go" is correct.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "goes" to agree with "Ali" (the first subject).

3. Answer: (3) are playing

  • Reasoning: The word "Look!" and the phrase "right now" indicate an action happening at the moment of speaking. This requires the Present Continuous tense.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "play" (Simple Present) which is for habits, not current actions.

4. Answer: (3) baked

  • Reasoning: The time marker "last week" indicates a completed action in the past. This requires the Simple Past tense.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "bakes" (Simple Present) or "baking" (incomplete verb form).

5. Answer: (2) furniture

  • Reasoning: "Furniture" is an uncountable noun. It does not take a plural 's'. "A lot of" can be used with uncountable nouns.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "furnitures". Uncountable nouns never have a plural form.

6. Answer: (1) over

  • Reasoning: The preposition "over" indicates movement from one side to the other, crossing above something (the fence).
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "through" (which implies entering and exiting an enclosed space) or "under".

7. Answer: (3) must

  • Reasoning: "Must" expresses obligation or necessity. The sentence implies a rule or requirement set by parents.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "can" (ability/permission) which is weaker than the implied obligation.

8. Answer: (1) was

  • Reasoning: The subject is "Each", which is always singular. Therefore, the singular verb "was" is correct.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "were" because "students" is plural. The verb must agree with "Each".

9. Answer: (2) for

  • Reasoning: "For" is used with a period of time (ten years). "Since" is used with a specific starting point (e.g., since 2014).
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "since" with a duration.

10. Answer: (3) on

  • Reasoning: We write an essay "on" or "about" a topic. "On" is the standard preposition for the subject matter of a piece of writing.
  • Common Mistake: Choosing "in" or "at".

Section B: Grammar Cloze (5 marks)

11. happy

  • Reasoning: The context "going to the zoo" suggests a positive emotion. "Happy" is the adjective that fits.

12. quickly

  • Reasoning: The context "so that he would not be late" implies speed. "Quickly" is the adverb describing how he ate.

13. but

  • Reasoning: There is a contrast between going to the zoo (positive/expected) and "a lot of traffic" (negative/obstacle). "But" connects these contrasting ideas.

14. because

  • Reasoning: This word introduces the reason why he liked the monkeys. "Because" links the effect (liked) to the cause (they were funny).

15. and

  • Reasoning: This connects two sequential actions: "took many photos" and "showed them". "And" is the appropriate conjunction for adding information.

(Unused words: slowly, if)

Section C: Error Correction (5 marks)

16. Error: barks | Correction: bark

  • Reasoning: The subject is "The dogs" (plural). The verb must be plural ("bark"). "Barks" is singular.
  • Note: The rest of the sentence "approached" is past tense, but the error is strictly subject-verb agreement in the first clause. If the sentence implies a general truth, "bark" is correct. If it implies past, "barked" would be needed, but "barks" is clearly the agreement error against "dogs". Given "approached" is past, a strict correction might be "barked", but typically in P3, "barks" vs "bark" is the primary SVA test. Let's look closer: "The dogs barks... when the stranger approached". This mixes tenses. However, the most glaring grammatical error for P3 is SVA. "Dogs" is plural, so it cannot be "barks". Correcting to "barked" fixes both tense and number. Correcting to "bark" fixes number but leaves tense clash. In P3 exams, usually, the verb form matching the subject number is the key. Let's accept barked as the best correction for tense consistency, or bark if treating the first part as a general statement. Given "approached" is specific past, barked is better.
    • Self-Correction for P3 Level: Often, these questions test one specific rule. "Dogs" (plural) + "barks" (singular verb) is the error. The tense of "approached" might be a distractor or part of a narrative. Let's stick to the SVA rule which is dominant in WA2.
    • Refined Answer: Error: barks Correction: barked (to match "approached") OR bark (if ignoring tense clash). Most P3 keys will accept barked as it fixes the tense consistency with "approached". Let's provide barked.

17. Error: have | Correction: has

  • Reasoning: The subject is "She" (singular). The present perfect auxiliary for singular third-person is "has".
  • Common Mistake: Using "have" for all subjects.

18. Error: are | Correction: is

  • Reasoning: The subject is "The box" (singular), not "chocolates". The phrase "of chocolates" is a prepositional phrase describing the box. Therefore, the singular verb "is" is correct.
  • Common Mistake: Being distracted by the plural noun "chocolates" next to the verb.

19. Error: meet | Correction: meeting

  • Reasoning: The phrase "look forward to" is always followed by a gerund (verb + -ing) or a noun. "To" here is a preposition, not part of the infinitive.
  • Common Mistake: Using the base form "meet" because "to" is usually followed by the base verb.

20. Error: I | Correction: me

  • Reasoning: "Between" is a preposition. Pronouns following prepositions must be in the object form. "Me" is the object form; "I" is the subject form.
  • Common Mistake: Using "I" because it sounds more formal or is hyper-corrected by students.
