1. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

2. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

3. The most important things in my life are making money, traveling abroad, and _____.

• A. living well
• B. to live well
• C. to be happy
• D. enjoying life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'living well.' The sentence lists actions using '-ing' forms (making, traveling, and living), so 'living well' maintains parallel structure. Choice B ('to live well') breaks this structure by introducing an infinitive form. Choice C ('to be happy') introduces a new action not in parallel with the others. Choice D ('enjoying life') changes the structure and focuses on a different action not consistent with the previous activities listed.

4. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. Apply the gel on the gingival margin around the selected teeth using the blunt-tipped applicator included in the package.

• A. Edge
• B. Grease
• C. Incisor
• D. Cavity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'margin' refers to the border or edge of the gums around the teeth. The gel is supposed to be applied on the gingival margin, which means on the edge or border of the gums near the selected teeth. Choice B, 'Grease,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the application of gel on the gums. Choice C, 'Incisor,' refers to a type of tooth and is unrelated to the context of applying gel on the gingival margin. Choice D, 'Cavity,' is also unrelated as it refers to a decayed area in a tooth and not the border of the gums.

5. Caudal refers to which part of the human torso?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Middle
• D. Front

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Caudal refers to the bottom part of the torso. In anatomical terms, 'caudal' means situated near or toward the tail or the hind part of the body. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe structures closer to the feet or lower part of the body. Therefore, 'Bottom' is the correct answer as it best represents the caudal region. Choices 'Top,' 'Middle,' and 'Front' do not accurately describe the caudal aspect of the human torso.
