1. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.

2. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'I ___ the package on the table.'

• A. Layed
• B. Drop
• C. Laid
• D. Lay

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Laid.' 'Laid' is the correct past tense form of 'lay,' which means to put something down. 'Layed' in choice A is incorrect as the past tense of 'lay' is 'laid,' not 'layed.' Choice B, 'Drop,' is incorrect as it does not fit the context of placing something on the table. Choice D, 'Lay,' is the base form of the verb and does not fit the sentence in the past tense.

3. Select the sentence in which 'legal' is used as an adjective.

• A. He is a legal resident of the United States
• B. This is a legal action
• C. That action was legal
• D. He acted in a legal way

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'He is a legal resident of the United States.' In this sentence, 'legal' is used to describe the type of resident he is, making it an adjective. The other choices use 'legal' as part of a noun phrase or an adverbial phrase, not as an adjective. Choice B uses 'legal' to describe the type of action, making it a noun adjunct. Choice C uses 'legal' to describe the legality of the action, making it part of an adjectival phrase. Choice D uses 'legal' to describe the manner in which he acted, making it an adverb.

4. A remedy may cure certain ailments. Another word for this might be ___________.

• A. inoculation
• B. indicator
• C. nostrum
• D. serum

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "nostrum" is a term used to describe a questionable or untested remedy or medication that claims to cure ailments. In this context, as a remedy is suggested to cure certain ailments, "nostrum" fits best in providing an alternative word that aligns with the situation. The other choices are not synonyms for a remedy that cures ailments. 'Inoculation' refers to the introduction of a vaccine, 'indicator' is something that provides information or signals, and 'serum' is a component of blood or a medication, none of which directly align with the concept of a remedy curing ailments.

5. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.
