You have to choose which of the underlined words ('you', 'out', 'right') doesn't fit (suit?) in that sentence and replace it with the correct word.

Sorry , only a small mistake: "You have to choose which of the underlined words ('you', 'out', 'right') don't fit (suit?) in that sentence and then replace it with the correct word".

Would like you to answer #4 (permalink) Wed May 27, 2009 4:28 am   Would like you to answer
 

I think this phrase is not completely correct because “I would like you to answer” is wrong. Probably is better to say one of the following phrases:
1) I would like you had answered a few questions about yourself; so we could find out if you were right for the job.
2) I would like, you answer a few questions about yourself so we can find out if you are right for the job.

I would appreciate your comments about these issues.

Frank, the quiz question as posted is absolutely grammatically correct.

Your post is really, really incorrect.

“I would like you to answer” Please point out what is wrong with that sentence.

Kitos.
