Re: grammar test

1. There are too many "hads" for me. I would write: "He previously had a car, but it had broken down several times during the spring.

2. Correct.

3. Correct. But capitalize the "y" in "Your. Put periods after C and D. Put a D before the D answer.

4. I would choose B, but A could be argued as correct. Capitalize the "h" in "He".

5. I would choose D. Put periods after B, C and D. No spaces before an apostrophe or after an opening quotation mark.
