1. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

2. He had already finished studying at a(n) _____ when he was called to join the army.

• A. university
• B. academy
• C. college
• D. institute

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, the correct answer is 'university.' The term 'university' is used to refer to higher education institutions that offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. While 'academy,' 'college,' and 'institute' are also types of educational institutions, 'university' is the most fitting choice here as it best aligns with the idea of completing higher education before joining the army.

3. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The children became bellicose after too much time in the moving car.

• A. Beautiful
• B. Selfless
• C. Tolerant
• D. Quarrelsome

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'bellicose' means showing aggression or a willingness to fight. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the children became argumentative or confrontational after spending too much time in the moving car. Therefore, the correct meaning is 'quarrelsome.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'bellicose' does not mean beautiful, selfless, or tolerant. It specifically refers to a combative or aggressive behavior, which aligns with 'quarrelsome.'

4. What is the meaning of the word 'placebo' in the following sentence: 'Ten patients will receive the experimental drug while 10 take a placebo'?

• A. Fallback
• B. Substitute
• C. Control
• D. Curative

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the context of the sentence, the word 'placebo' refers to a substance or treatment that resembles a real medical treatment but has no therapeutic effect. It is used as a standard against which the effects of the experimental drug are compared. A placebo is typically included in a control group in medical research to evaluate the actual effects of the experimental drug. Therefore, in this scenario, the placebo serves as a control to gauge the effectiveness of the experimental drug, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because a placebo is not a fallback, substitute, or curative treatment in this context.

5. Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."

• A. Brak
• B. Break
• C. Brick
• D. Brake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "Break." In this context, 'break' is the appropriate word as it means to damage or shatter something. The other choices are incorrect: 'Brak' is a misspelling, 'Brick' is unrelated to the context of the sentence, and 'Brake' refers to a device used to slow down or stop movement, which is not relevant to carrying a bottle to the table.
