1. I will call you when I _____ back from visiting my sister.

• A. get
• B. will get
• C. return
• D. came

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'get' because it appropriately indicates a future action in the sentence. In English, when 'when' is used in future time clauses, the following verb should be in the present simple tense to indicate a future event, making 'get' the correct choice. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Will get' is redundant after 'when' in this context, 'return' is not the appropriate tense for a future action, and 'came' is in the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event.

2. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
• D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.

3. The mail carrier's job is to put the _____ in every mailbox on the block.

• A. letter
• B. envelope
• C. package
• D. documents

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'envelope.' The mail carrier typically delivers envelopes containing mail to every mailbox on the block. Envelopes are commonly used to protect and contain letters, making them the most suitable choice in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because while the mail carrier may deliver letters, packages, or documents, the most common item placed in mailboxes is an envelope containing mail.

4. Which verb form best completes the sentence?

• A. Going
• B. Go
• C. Have
• D. Having

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Having.' In the sentence 'I am looking forward to having my birthday party next week,' 'having' is the correct present participle form of the verb 'have' to indicate an anticipated event. Choice A 'Going' is incorrect as it does not match the structure of the sentence. Choice B 'Go' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not fit grammatically. Choice C 'Have' is incorrect as it is the base form and does not convey the future action in the sentence.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'symmetric' in the sentence: 'The symmetric patterns of scarring were evident on the patient's back.'

• A. scabbed
• B. painful
• C. corresponding
• D. geometric

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'symmetric' refers to patterns that correspond or are balanced on both sides, exhibiting symmetry. The scarring on the patient's back displayed a mirrored or corresponding arrangement. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'symmetric' does not mean scabbed, painful, or geometric in this sentence.
