Select the correct word(s) to make the sentence grammatically correct.

As we celebrated the start of the evening's festivities, our glasses ------ and a toast was made by our host.

 

In this sentence, "fast" is used to modify the verb "moved," indicating the manner in which the cars were moving. As an adverb, "fast" describes the speed or manner of the action. In this case, it describes how the cars were moving quickly on the overpass.

The correct conjunction to use in this sentence is "then," not "than."

The correct sentence would be: "The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails."

The conjunction "then" is used to indicate the chronological sequence of actions. It shows that the nurse first decided to bathe the client and then proceeded to trim his nails.

The option D contains the incorrect conjunction "than," which is used for making comparisons and is not suitable in this context.

Therefore, option D is the sentence that is not grammatically correct.

The error in the original sentence is the use of the future tense "will" instead of the past tense "would" in the subordinate clause after "so." Since the main verb "lit" is in the past tense, the verb in the subordinate clause should also be in the past tense to maintain grammatical consistency.

The correct term to use in this context is "capital" instead of "capitol."

"Capital" refers to an uppercase letter, which is used at the beginning of a sentence. On the other hand, "capitol" typically refers to a building that houses a legislative body. In the given sentence, the intended meaning is about the rule of using uppercase letters, not the physical building.

Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "A sentence must always begin with a capital letter, but many people forget this simple rule."

The options B. "Forget," C. "Simple," and D. "must always" are used correctly in the sentence. It is only the incorrect use of "Capitol" that makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
