  1. 1. 一份办公室备忘录中有这样一句话:"The box of old letters and photographs ___ stored in the archive room until the renovation is finished." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.are
    • B.is✓ 答案
    • C.were
    • D.have been

    主语是单数名词 "box";"of old letters and photographs" 是介词短语,而主语绝不会出现在介词短语内部。GED 官方的编辑策略是先在心里删掉这段插入成分,剩下 "The box ... is stored",因此必须用单数动词 "is"。把复数名词插在主语和动词之间,是该考点最常见的陷阱。

    编号 QB-GVWVXV依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.7 (subject–verb agreement with interceding phrase)报告此题的问题

  2. 2. 一份送货通知写道:"Neither the store manager nor the sales associates ___ available to sign for the shipment on Friday afternoon." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.is
    • B.was
    • C.are✓ 答案
    • D.has been

    当两个主语由 "or"、"either ... or" 或 "neither ... nor" 连接时,动词与\*离它最近\*的那个主语保持一致,而不是与两者都一致。这里较近的主语是复数 "sales associates",所以要用复数动词 "are"。(如果顺序反过来写成 "Neither the sales associates nor the store manager",就应该用单数 "is"。)

    编号 QB-2DFDQX依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.7 (compound subjects joined by or/nor agree with the nearest subject)报告此题的问题

  3. 3. 一封办公室邮件写道:"The instructions for the new coffee maker are printed on the back of the box, so please read ___ carefully before you brew a pot." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.them✓ 答案
    • B.it
    • C.they
    • D.its

    代词在数上必须与其先行词(它所替代的名词)一致。这里的先行词是复数的 "instructions",而不是旁边的单数名词 "coffee maker" 或 "box",因此必须用复数代词 "them"。"them" 同时也是动词 "read" 后所需的宾格形式;"they" 是主格代词,不能作宾语。

    编号 QB-HV985X依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.7 (pronoun–antecedent agreement across an interceding phrase)报告此题的问题

  4. 4. 一份备忘录需要表达:这间休息室是所有员工共用的。下列哪个写法正确?"Please do not leave dishes in ___ overnight."

    • A.the workers break room
    • B.the worker's break room
    • C.the workers's break room
    • D.the workers' break room✓ 答案

    以 -s 结尾的规则复数名词,构成所有格时只在 s 后加撇号:workers'。"The worker's break room" 表示这间房间属于\*一名\*员工,意思就变了;"workers break room" 完全没有撇号(这正是招牌和广告让人养成的错误习惯);而 "workers's" 多加了一个 s,标准英语不允许。

    编号 QB-3DTQVY依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.2.3 (apostrophes with regular plural possessive nouns)报告此题的问题

  5. 5. 商店的告示需要宣布:儿童鞋区已经搬迁。下列哪个写法正确?"The ___ have been moved to the second floor."

    • A.childrens' shoes
    • B.child's shoes
    • C.childrens shoes
    • D.children's shoes✓ 答案

    "Children" 本身就是不规则复数,词尾没有 -s,因此它的所有格与单数名词的构成方式相同:加撇号加 s(children's),就像 women's、men's、people's 一样。"Childrens" 和 "childrens'" 等于把一个已经是复数的词再加一次复数词尾;而 "child's" 只指一个孩子。

    编号 QB-JVMJAY依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.2.3 (apostrophes with irregular plural possessive nouns)报告此题的问题

  6. 6. 一则社区公告写道:"The committee will publish ___ decision on Monday, and ___ likely to disappoint several applicants." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.its ... its
    • B.it's ... its
    • C.its ... it's✓ 答案
    • D.it's ... it's

    物主代词从不加撇号,所以表示决定属于委员会的代词是 "its"。"it's" 中的撇号表示 "it is" 的缩写,正是第二个空所需要的:"it is likely to disappoint"。同样的规则适用于 hers、ours、yours、theirs 和 whose——写作文时同样可以用这一条来自查。

    编号 QB-4D6332依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicators L.2.3 and L.1.1 (possessive pronouns take no apostrophe; it's = it is)报告此题的问题

  7. 7. 一份进度报告中有这样一句话:"The shipment arrived on Tuesday, the invoice did not arrive until Friday." 哪个修改能纠正其中的错误?

    • A.The shipment arrived on Tuesday the invoice did not arrive until Friday.
    • B.The shipment arrived on Tuesday, however, the invoice did not arrive until Friday.
    • C.The shipment arrived on Tuesday, but the invoice did not arrive until Friday.✓ 答案
    • D.The shipment arrived on Tuesday. Although the invoice did not arrive until Friday.

    原句是逗号粘连句:两个独立分句仅用逗号连接。两个独立分句只能用句号、分号、逗号加并列连词(for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)或从属结构来连接,所以 "Tuesday, but the invoice" 正确。去掉逗号的版本("Tuesday the invoice")变成了融合式流水句;用 "however" 的版本仍是逗号粘连,因为 "however" 是连接性副词,而非并列连词;以 "Although" 另起一句的版本让一个从句单独成句,形成句子片段。

    编号 QB-KVYVFZ依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.2.2 (run-on sentences, fused sentences, comma splices)报告此题的问题

  8. 8. 一封发给员工的邮件中有这两句话:"Please review the attached budget. Because the deadline for department requests is next Friday." 哪个修改能纠正其中的错误?

    • A.Please review the attached budget. Because of the deadline, for department requests next Friday.
    • B.Please review the attached budget; because the deadline for department requests is next Friday.
    • C.Please review the attached budget, the deadline for department requests is next Friday.
    • D.Please review the attached budget because the deadline for department requests is next Friday.✓ 答案

    "Because the deadline ... is next Friday" 是从句:从属连词 "because" 使它无法独立成句,因此单独成句时就是片段。把它接到主句上即可解决,而且 "because" 从句放在主句之后时通常不加逗号。分号不能引出从句;只用逗号连接两句会造成逗号粘连;"Because of the deadline, for department requests next Friday." 仍然是片段。

    编号 QB-VCPQUR依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.2.2 (sentence fragments; dependent clauses cannot stand alone)报告此题的问题

  9. 9. 一封供应商投诉信写道:"Our supplier promised a two-day turnaround ___ the parts did not reach the warehouse until the following week." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A., however,
    • B.; however,✓ 答案
    • C.however,
    • D., however;

    "However" 是连接性副词,不是并列连词,因此不能靠前面的一个逗号来连接两个独立分句。标准格式是:连接性副词前用分号,后用逗号——"...turnaround; however, the parts did not reach..."。therefore、moreover、consequently、nevertheless 也适用同一格式。

    编号 QB-CVGJ9R依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicators L.2.2 and L.1.9 (conjunctive adverbs punctuated with a semicolon before and a comma after)报告此题的问题

  10. 10. 一份前台记录写道:"The tenants left ___ keys at the front desk, and ___ planning to return on Monday." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.there ... they're
    • B.their ... they're✓ 答案
    • C.their ... there
    • D.they're ... their

    第一个空修饰名词 "keys",需要表示所属关系,因此用物主形容词 "their"。第二个空需要"主语 + 动词"("they are planning"),也就是缩写形式 "they're"。"There" 表示地点或用于 "There are three keys" 这类句首结构,两个空都不适用;把 "they are" 代入检验,是判断缩写的最快方法。

    编号 QB-4DWVRR依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.1 (frequently confused words: there / their / they're)报告此题的问题

  11. 11. 一条发给员工的信息写道:"___ recent feedback will ___ how we schedule shifts next quarter." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.You're ... effect
    • B.Your ... effect
    • C.You're ... affect
    • D.Your ... affect✓ 答案

    第一个空修饰名词短语 "recent feedback",表示所属,因此需要物主形容词 "Your";"You're" 意为 "you are",会读成 "You are recent feedback will..."。第二个空跟在助动词 "will" 之后,必须是动词:"affect" 意为影响,而 "effect" 通常是名词,意为结果。

    编号 QB-MV33CS依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.1 (frequently confused words: your / you're; affect / effect)报告此题的问题

  12. 12. 一封发给客户的信息写道:"We should of sent the revised contract yesterday, but I guess your kinda okay with waiting." 哪个修改适合用于正式的商务邮件?

    • A.We should of sent the revised contract yesterday, but you're kinda okay with waiting.
    • B.We should have sent the revised contract yesterday, but I guess your fine with waiting.
    • C.We shoulda sent the revised contract yesterday, but anyways you can wait.
    • D.We should have sent the revised contract yesterday, but we understand that you are willing to wait.✓ 答案

    标准书面英语要求写 "should have",而不是 "should of" 或 "shoulda":缩写 "should've" 只是听起来像 "of"。正式语域同样排除口语化的 "kinda"、"anyways",以及把物主形式 "your" 误用作 "you are"。只有以 "we understand that you are willing to wait" 结尾的修改既用了正确的助动词,语气也符合商务信函。

    编号 QB-5D98XS依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.4 (standard formal usage vs. informal/colloquial usage)报告此题的问题

  13. 13. 一份博物馆通讯写道:"Last spring the museum hired two new guides, trained them for six weeks, and then ___ them to lead the summer tours." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.allows
    • B.will allow
    • C.allowed✓ 答案
    • D.has allowed

    除非语义需要转换,同一句话中的动词时态必须保持一致。"Last spring" 以及前面的 "hired"、"trained" 确立了一般过去时,第三个动词叙述的是同一段已完成时间内的动作,因此必须用 "allowed"。改用现在时、将来时或现在完成时都会与时间状语 "Last spring" 矛盾。

    编号 QB-NVEDHT依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.2 (consistent and appropriate verb tense within a passage)报告此题的问题

  14. 14. 一封推荐信中有这样一句话:"In addition to also volunteering at the food bank on weekends, Marcus works full time at the hardware store where he gets paid." 哪个修改最好?

    • A.In addition to volunteering at the food bank on weekends, Marcus works full time at the hardware store.✓ 答案
    • B.Besides also volunteering at the food bank on weekends, Marcus additionally works full time at the hardware store where he is paid for his work.
    • C.In addition, Marcus also volunteers at the food bank on weekends, and he works full time at the hardware store where he gets paid.
    • D.In addition to also volunteering at the food bank on weekends, Marcus works a full-time job at the hardware store where he earns pay.

    原句包含两处真正的冗余,而非文体偏好:"In addition to" 本身已表达"此外","also" 属于重复;"works full time at the hardware store" 本身已隐含有报酬,"where he gets paid" 没有提供新信息。正确的修改删去了这两处而不损失任何意思;其他选项都保留或换个说法重复了其中至少一处。检验方法是逐词自问:这个词是否带来了句子尚未表达的意思。

    编号 QB-6DMJ4U依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.8 (elimination of wordiness and redundant expressions)报告此题的问题

  15. 15. 一封求职信以这样一句话开头:"The reason that I am writing to you at this time is because I would like to apply for the assistant manager position." 哪个修改最好?

    • A.The reason I am writing at this time is that I would like to apply for the assistant manager position.
    • B.I am writing to apply for the assistant manager position.✓ 答案
    • C.The reason for my writing is because of my wish to apply for the assistant manager position.
    • D.I am writing this letter at this point in time in order to apply for the assistant manager position.

    "The reason ... is because"、"at this time" 和 "I would like to" 都是空洞的开头和填充语,没有传递句子尚未表达的信息。最短的那个版本表达了完全相同的事实——写信人正在申请助理经理职位——且毫无损失,而其他选项都保留了赘语。这种精简同样能提升 GED 作文中语言规范这一评分维度的表现。

    编号 QB-PVSQPU依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.8 (wordiness: empty lead-ins and filler phrases)报告此题的问题

  16. 16. 一份活动指南中有这样一句话:"Darnell a veteran party planner advises clients to book a venue at least six months in advance." 哪个版本的标点正确?

    • A.Darnell a veteran party planner, advises clients to book a venue at least six months in advance.
    • B.Darnell, a veteran party planner advises clients to book a venue at least six months in advance.
    • C.Darnell, a veteran party planner, advises clients to book a venue at least six months in advance.✓ 答案
    • D.Darnell, a veteran party planner, advises, clients to book a venue at least six months in advance.

    "A veteran party planner" 是非限制性同位语:即使去掉它,句子仍能确定 Darnell 的身份,因此必须用\*一对\*逗号前后隔开。只在一侧加逗号会让插入成分只被"半封闭";多加第三个逗号的版本则把它放在了动词 "advises" 与其宾语之间,这是绝不允许的。

    编号 QB-7DYV9V依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.2.4 (paired commas around nonessential appositives; no comma between verb and object)报告此题的问题

  17. 17. 一张办公便条写道:"Please send the signed forms to Ms. Alvarez and ___ before the end of the day." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.I
    • B.me✓ 答案
    • C.myself
    • D.we

    该代词是介词 "to" 的复合宾语的一部分,因此必须用宾格:"me"。最快的检验方法是把另一个人去掉——"send the forms to me",而不是 "to I" 或 "to we"。"Myself" 是反身代词,只有当主语和宾语是同一人时才正确,如 "I sent the forms to myself"。

    编号 QB-QV53VV依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.3 (pronoun case in compound objects)报告此题的问题

  18. 18. 一份报告中有这样一句话:"When Rosa met with the department director, she said the budget would be cut." 哪个修改消除了代词指代不清的问题?

    • A.When Rosa met with the department director, the director said the budget would be cut.✓ 答案
    • B.When Rosa met with the department director, she said that they would cut the budget.
    • C.When Rosa met with her, the department director was told the budget would be cut.
    • D.When Rosa met with the department director, she told her that it would be cut.

    原句中的 "she" 既可能指 Rosa,也可能指部门主管,读者无法判断是谁说的,这就是指代不清。把代词换成具体名词 "the director" 即可解决,因为只有在先行词唯一时才可以使用代词。其他选项反而增加了含糊的代词("they"、"her"、"it"),并未消除歧义。

    编号 QB-YCGJ3M依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.3 (correction of unclear or ambiguous pronoun reference)报告此题的问题

  19. 19. 一份议会公告写道:"Fewer than half of the residents responded to the first survey. ___, the council extended the deadline by two weeks." 哪个过渡词能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.Nevertheless
    • B.Therefore✓ 答案
    • C.For example
    • D.In contrast

    正确的做法是先判断两个观点之间的逻辑关系,再选连接词。回复率低是\*原因\*,延长截止日期是\*结果\*,因此需要表示结果的连接词,如 "Therefore"(或 "As a result"、"Consequently")。"Nevertheless" 和 "In contrast" 表示转折,"For example" 表示举例,都与这两句话的逻辑不符。

    编号 QB-GVNQNM依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.9 (transitional words that signal the logical relationship between ideas)报告此题的问题

  20. 20. 一份职位说明中有这样一句话:"Her duties include answering phones, scheduling appointments, and ___." 哪个选项能正确地补全这个句子?

    • A.ordering supplies✓ 答案
    • B.she orders supplies
    • C.to order supplies
    • D.order supplies

    并列成分必须保持相同的语法形式。前两项是 -ing 短语("answering phones"、"scheduling appointments"),因此第三项也必须是 -ing 短语 "ordering supplies"。换成不定式、动词原形或完整从句都会破坏平行结构,尽管这些形式单独看都合乎语法。

    编号 QB-XMXDKW依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.6 (parallel structure in a series)报告此题的问题

  21. 21. 一份采购备忘录写道:"The office ordered its third ___ last month." 哪个选项的大小写正确?

    • A.Skyview laptop computer✓ 答案
    • B.skyview laptop computer
    • C.Skyview Laptop Computer
    • D.Skyview Laptop computer

    只有专有名词才大写。"Skyview" 是品牌名,必须大写首字母;而 "laptop computer" 是指某类产品的普通名词,应保持小写。把普通名词也大写,正是"品牌 + 产品"的经典陷阱;而把品牌名小写则完全丢掉了专有名词。

    编号 QB-E5S8ZV依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.2.1 (capitalization of proper nouns, including brand names, vs. common nouns)报告此题的问题

  22. 22. 一段个人叙述中有这样一句话:"Parking in a tow zone, the police officer gave us a ticket." 哪个修改能纠正修饰语错误?

    • A.Because we parked in a tow zone, the police officer gave us a ticket.✓ 答案
    • B.The police officer, parking in a tow zone, gave us a ticket.
    • C.Giving us a ticket, the police officer was parking in a tow zone.
    • D.Parking in a tow zone, a ticket was given to us by the police officer.

    句首的分词短语修饰紧随其后的名词,因此 "Parking in a tow zone" 被错误地挂到了 "the police officer" 上——这就是垂悬修饰语,因为真正停车的人从未作为主语出现。把该短语改写成带自己主语的完整从句 "Because we parked in a tow zone",就补上了缺失的动作发出者。其他选项要么让该短语去修饰罚单,要么表达了"是警察在停车"这一不合逻辑的意思。

    编号 QB-YMARRX依据: GED Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA — Language indicator L.1.5 (correction of dangling and misplaced modifiers)报告此题的问题
