1. Identify the incomplete sentence.

• A. While they were sleeping.
• B. The dog slept.
• C. The sun rises in the east.
• D. They went home.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'While they were sleeping.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. A complete sentence should have both a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. In this case, the subordinating conjunction 'while' introduces a dependent clause that needs to be connected to an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Choices B, C, and D are complete sentences as they each contain a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought.

2. What does 'Discrete' mean?

• A. Continuous
• B. Distinct or separate
• C. Mixed
• D. Combined

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Distinct or separate.' Discrete refers to something that is individually separate and distinct, not continuous (choice A), mixed (choice C), or combined (choice D). In mathematics and other fields, discrete items are countable and distinct from each other.

3. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

4. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.

5. The word STAGGERED means .

• A. Fell
• B. Fumbled
• C. Stumbled
• D. Pirouetted

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'staggered' is associated with unsteadiness or imbalance in movement. Stumbling is the most suitable synonym among the given choices to convey this meaning. 'Fell,' 'fumbled,' and 'pirouetted' do not accurately capture the idea of unsteadiness or imbalance conveyed by the word 'staggered.' 'Fell' generally means coming down from a standing position, 'fumbled' implies clumsiness or mishandling, and 'pirouetted' refers to a specific graceful ballet move, none of which align with the meaning of 'staggered.'
