Hi berione81

My answers are in blue. I've also included lots of links.

If you want to post a lot of questions again, please post the questions separately. Thanks.

a) the best
b) best
You need the superlative form:
good driving, better driving, the best driving


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-The baby,___ quite happily a moment before suddenly burst into tears. ( I don't see any difference between a and b)
a) whom I'd been playing with
b) with whom I'd been playing
I'm guessing the desired answer is b)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Is there a difference between the meaning of the rather and prefer?

rather = adverb
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=rather&r=66
prefer = verb
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=prefer&r=66

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- I also can't differentiate the usage of 'either',neither', 'as well' and 'too' even though I know the usage of them.
I don't understand what you want to know.

As he was not satisfied with the content of the document, he declined to sign it, and none of the members attempted to persuade him to, ___.

a)also
b)as well
c) either

In a negative sentence, you need either instead of too.

-
I like him. I like him, too.
- I don't like him. I don't like him either.

You can use neither to make the sentence negative:

- I don't like him. Neither do I.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-What is the difference between 'think of 'and 'think about'?
See definition and usage notes for think of here
Definition for think about here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Hardly ever ___ such a gathering of distinguished scientists from so many different countires.
a)there has been
b)has there been (don't understand why b is the right)
Inversion is needed because the sentence begins with 'Hardly ever'. You can find further information here:

Inverted verb and subject after "so"
http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic13367.html#38531

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


-The usage and meaning of whatsoever I don't understand.
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=90099&dict=CALD
Whatsoever is often used in a negative sentence instead of the words "at all". It's emphatic.


Example: He was recruited to teach economics at the univeristy although he had no teaching experinece whatsoever/at all. (I write here enough but it is wrong )

Grammar vs. grammer Wed Oct 25, 2006 13:43 pm  Grammar vs. grammer
 

Hi Berione81, it just occurred to me that you too have to check the spelling of the word grammar. It's not a big deal as they say but then again paying attention to detail might be important in business. After all, you are preparing for the TOEIC to advance in your career, aren't you?
