MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
(16) common, ordinary
F. NO CHANGE
G. typical
H. to be expected
J. run of the mill
Answer explanation
Common and ordinary are redundant (the same), so choice F should be eliminated.
Choices H and J are overly wordy and too casual, so G is the best fit.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

(22) the internet; Often
F. NO CHANGE
G. the internet, often
H. the internet; often,
J. the internet; often
Answer explanation
Unless it is a proper noun, do not capitalize the word after a semicolon.
Also, we do not need a comma after often because there is already a comma after the complete phrase, often times.
