Identifying and correcting a variety of errors involving verbals. (Note: One or two items in
this exercise do not focus on errors involving verbals. These are marked in the answer key with an
asterisk.)
Directions:
Decide which of the four underlined words or phrases-(A), (B), (C), or (D)-would
not be considered correct, and write the letter of that expression in the blank. Then, in the line at
