1. How many pounds are in 176 ounces?

• A. 15 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 11 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 176 ounces ÷ 16 = 11 pounds. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choices B and C are also incorrect as they do not accurately convert the given ounces to pounds.

2. Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Before I had finished supper, James ___________.

• A. is texting me on my cell phone
• B. had texted me on my cell phone
• C. texts me on my cell phone
• D. texting me on my cell phone

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence starts with 'Before I had finished supper,' indicating that the action of James texting you on your cell phone had occurred before the completion of another past action (finishing supper). The past perfect tense 'had texted' is used to express an action that happened before another action in the past, making the sentence grammatically correct. Choice A is incorrect because it uses the present continuous tense, which is not suitable for indicating an action that occurred before finishing supper. Choice C is incorrect as it uses the simple present tense, which does not convey the sequence of events correctly. Choice D is incorrect as it presents the present continuous tense, which is not appropriate for the context of the sentence.

3. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

4. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.

5. 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.
