Correct Answer:
D. None of these
This question assesses the correct usage of "affect" and "effect." Generally, "affect" is a verb meaning to influence, while "effect" is a noun meaning a result or outcome. There are exceptions, but this rule applies to the given options.
- Option D: "None of these" is the correct answer because all other options contain grammatical errors.
- Option A: "...effect everyone..." is incorrect. It should be "affect everyone" because a verb is needed to describe the action of influencing.
- Option B: "...pohey will affect..." is incorrect. While "will affect" uses "affect" correctly as a verb, "pohey" is not a recognized English word, making the sentence nonsensical.
- Option C: "...a positive affect on..." is incorrect. It should be "a positive effect on" because "effect" (noun) is needed to describe the result or impact.
