15. Select the correct order of words to fit the sentence structure. The nursing assistant put the Band-Aid on the wound to aid the nurse.
Answer: B
The correct order of words is "aide, aid, aid."
In the context of the sentence, "aide" refers to the nursing assistant, while "aid" refers to the assistance provided. Therefore, the proper structure should reflect this distinction.
A) aid, aide, aide
This option incorrectly places "aid" at the beginning, which does not represent the nursing assistant. Additionally, it uses "aide" twice, which is unnecessary and disrupts the intended meaning of the sentence.
B) aide, aid, aid
This option correctly identifies "aide" as the nursing assistant and uses "aid" to refer to the action taken to help. This sequence accurately conveys the intended meaning of the sentence and follows the grammatical structure needed.
C) aid, aide, aid
Similar to option A, this choice mistakenly starts with "aid," misrepresenting the subject of the sentence. The repetition of "aide" does not contribute to clarity and creates confusion regarding the roles being described.
D) aide, aid, aide
While this option starts correctly with "aide," it fails to utilize the word "aid" appropriately following it. The unnecessary repetition of "aide" further detracts from the clarity of the sentence structure.
Conclusion
Option B is definitively correct as it properly identifies the roles within the sentence and maintains grammatical accuracy. The other options either misplace terms or repeat them unnecessarily, failing to convey the intended message effectively. Thus, option B stands out as the only choice that fulfills the requirements of the sentence.
