1. He had to fill out a health history ____ before seeing the doctor.

• A. questionnaire
• B. questionaire
• C. questionnare
• D. questionairre

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'questionnaire.' A questionnaire is a set of questions used for gathering information. The incorrect choices B, C, and D have misspellings of the word 'questionnaire.' 'Questionaire,' 'questionnare,' and 'questionairre' are not correct spellings and may lead to confusion or misunderstanding. It is essential to use the correct spelling to ensure clear communication in healthcare settings.

2. Which pronoun would not work in the following sentence? 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you.'

• A. my
• B. our
• C. your
• D. whose

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the sentence 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you,' the pronoun 'whose' does not fit grammatically. The pronoun 'whose' is used to indicate possession or belonging to someone, which is not relevant in this context. The other pronouns 'my,' 'our,' and 'your' are all appropriate to use in this sentence based on the context of the sentence. Therefore, 'whose' is the correct answer as it does not work in the given sentence.

3. In the sentence, “We will depart as a class, but when we arrive we will split up into small groups,” which part(s) is/are prepositional phrase(s)?

• A. “as a class”
• B. “when we arrive”
• C. “into small groups”
• D. (a) and (c) but not (b)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The prepositional phrases in the sentence are 'as a class' and 'into small groups,' making choices (a) and (c) correct. The phrase 'when we arrive' is not a prepositional phrase but rather a subordinate clause indicating a time. Prepositional phrases typically begin with a preposition (as, into) and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, as it correctly identifies the prepositional phrases in the sentence.

4. Which of the following sentences uses second person point of view?

• A. I don't want to make plans for the weekend before I see my work schedule.
• B. She had to miss the last three yoga classes due to illness.
• C. Pluto is no longer considered a planet because it is not gravitationally dominant.
• D. Be sure to turn off all of the lights before locking up for the night.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. This sentence uses the second person point of view by directly addressing the reader or listener with the phrase 'Be sure to.' It is instructing or advising someone on what action to take, making it a clear example of second person point of view. Choices A, B, and C all use first person (I) or third person (she, Pluto), which do not involve direct interaction with the reader or listener, unlike the second person point of view present in choice D.

5. Which of the following is a synonym for 'reiterate'?

• A. Refine
• B. Relegate
• C. Regale
• D. Repeat

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Repeat.' 'Reiterate' means to say something again, making 'repeat' a synonym. 'Refine' means to improve, 'relegate' means to dismiss to an inferior position, and 'regale' means to entertain or amuse, which do not align in meaning with 'reiterate.'
