The answer to your question would be that the sentence "John wants to really do well on this exam" contains the following error: Split infinitive.

A split infinitive, also known as as cleft infinitive, is a grammatical construction in which a word or phrase comes between the <em>to </em>and the bare infinitive form of the <em>to</em> form of the infinitive verb. Usually, an adverb or adverbial phrase comes between them. In this case, the word between the infinitive particle and the bare form is the adverb "really".

This sentence contains split infinitive. John wants to really do well - you see that the infinitive is split here by introducing <em>really </em>between <em>to </em>and <em>do. </em>If you can, you should avoid doing that, it would be better to say John really wants to do well...

How does hamlet feel at the begging of this soliloquy
Mariulka [41]

Answer: Hamlet appears to be despondent and suicidal at the start of the soliloquy. This may be seen in his earnest wish to die, "O! that this too solid flesh would dissolve!"

Explanation: Hamlet is acutely aware, however, that his flesh is firm and durable, and that, no matter how much he loves it, it shows no indication of melting into "dew."

Consider your knowledge of word parts, and match each sentence to the word that correctly completes it.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

After passing her driving test, Lisa felt a sense of <u><em>lightness</em></u>.  

Please <em><u>light</u></em> the candles on the birthday cake.  

Patrick did not take the test <em><u>lightly</u></em> and studied intensely.

Explanation:

The words "light", "lightly" and "lightness" all signify a different aspect. "Light" is a verb while "lightly" is an adverb and "lightness" is a noun. And so, their uses are also all different, depending on the sentence structure.

In the first sentence, Lisa felt a sense of "lightness" after she passed her driving test. This means that she felt relieved.

The second sentence uses "light", asking someone to "light" the candle. This means that the candle must be made to burn.

The third sentence talks about Patrick not taking his test "lightly" which means that he is serious about it.
