Answer 1

The correct verb tenses for the given sentences are determined by the context, with the base form used for modal verb phrases and past simple tense for actions completed in the past. Proper comma usage is demonstrated, and examples are provided to illustrate the correct choice of words.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences rewritten in the correct verb tenses are:

1. Could you get in class silently?
2. When did the exam begin?
3. The teachers made us work hard at college.
4. All my articles get published.
5. At home, we got our bed made.

The sentences above demonstrate the correct use of verb tenses in various contexts. In the case of sentence 1 and 4, the base form of the verb is used because it is part of a modal verb phrase ('could you get'). Sentences 2 and 3 are in past simple tense, indicating the action occurred in the past. Sentence 5 also uses the past simple tense in passive voice because the subject receives the action.

For review questions:

1. The comma usage should be reviewed: I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time.
2. Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet. The second comma should be omitted since it separates two verbs in a compound predicate without a coordinating conjunction.
3. When rewriting the sentences with the verbs from the given table, you should use the provided verbs in the correct tense based on the context. An example would be: The mayor's refusal to acknowledge the problem did not convince journalists. could become The mayor's analysis of the issue did not convince journalists..
4. To choose the correct words to complete the sentences, one should consider the context and the meaning intended. For example: "Can you hear the phone ring from here?"
