Answers with explanation-Nursing entrance practice Test Questions 156-165
156. B: The semicolon is incorrect punctuation here. With the coordinating conjunction "and," no punctuation is needed between the two gerunds. A comma is permissible to indicate David did not necessarily do both things simultaneously; however, semicolons are for separating two independent clauses, or separating dependent clauses/phrases containing internal commas.
157. A: "High School" is incorrect capitalization. These words are not names/proper nouns and should not be capitalized.
158. D: The singular form of the verb ("plays") disagrees with the plural noun subject ("Nurses"), representing incorrect grammar.
159. C: "Tonsels" is an incorrect spelling of the word "tonsils."
160. C: "Serine" is an incorrect spelling of the adjective "serene," meaning peaceful (indicated by sentence context), confusing it with the noun serine, meaning the amino acid.
