Question 3 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS ENGLISH 12 OC (FALL2026) 791113

Which sentence uses the underlined word correctly?

Answer
A
Gladys wanted to redecorate her living room so it would better compliment her personal style.
B
Frank and Alice make sure to compliment their triplets for good behavior.
C
Monica received many complements about her homemade lasagna.

Explanation

“Compliment” means to praise someone, so Frank and Alice correctly compliment their triplets for good behavior. In A, “complement” is needed because the room’s style would go well with Gladys’s personal style. In C, the lasagna received “compliments,” meaning praise, not “complements.”
