1. He ate four pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and _____ vegetables.

• A. no
• B. some
• C. little
• D. few

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'no' as it implies the absence of vegetables, indicating that he did not consume any vegetables along with the fried chicken. 'Some' (choice B) implies an unspecified quantity of vegetables were eaten, 'little' (choice C) implies a small amount of vegetables, and 'few' (choice D) is used for countable items, not for uncountable items like vegetables.

2. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' ADHERE means to stay firmly attached or stick to something. 'Remain intact' (A) implies staying whole or undamaged, 'Loosen' (B) means to make less tight or firm, and 'Position next to' (D) refers to being placed adjacent to something, which do not accurately capture the meaning of ADHERE.

3. The electrolytes in human bodies include sodium, potassium, calcium, and ___________, among others.

• A. magnesium
• B. manganese
• C. magnetite
• D. manganite

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Magnesium is another essential electrolyte in the human body, along with sodium, potassium, and calcium. Magnesium plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure, and supporting the immune system. Manganese (Choice B), magnetite (Choice C), and manganite (Choice D) are not electrolytes found in the human body. Manganese is a mineral but not an electrolyte, while magnetite and manganite are compounds and not essential electrolytes for bodily functions.

4. The number of people _____ from other counties to the United States has caused a shift in unemployment in the textile market.

• A. Emigrating
• B. Immigrating
• C. Migrating
• D. Emigrated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Immigrating' because it refers to people coming to live permanently in a foreign country. 'Emigrating' (Choice A) means leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another, which does not fit the context of people coming into the United States. 'Migrating' (Choice C) is a general term for moving from one place to another without emphasizing the aspect of settling in a new country. 'Emigrated' (Choice D) is the past tense of emigrate and does not convey the ongoing action of people moving to the United States.

5. What is the correct verb to complete the sentence? 'Economics ___ my least favorite subject at school.'

• A. Is
• B. Been
• C. Am
• D. Are

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is being treated as a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice B, 'Been,' is incorrect because it is the past participle form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice C, 'Am,' is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice D, 'Are,' is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.'
