Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?

a. only bill wanted to go to the lake. [intended meaning: bill wanted to go to the lake, but no one else did.]

b. bill only hinted that he would us move. [intended meaning: bill hinted but did not, for example, promise that he would us move.]

c. bill wanted only mary to win. [intended meaning; bill wanted mary to win, but did not want anyone else to win.

d. all of these

d. All of these.

Explanation: In order to explain the reason why all of the sentences are correct, we should first focus on the meaning and use of the word ONLY. Only is a modifier, this means that it modifies a word (noun, verb). The word only should be writter before the word it is supposed to modify. If we have a look at the sentences in the first one only is modifying "Bill". In the second one it is modifying "hinted" and in the third one it is modifying "Mary". In all of the cases the use of only matches the meaning the writer wants to convey.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

joe leydon

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
