1. Identify the noun clause in the sentence: 'My biggest fear is that I wouldn't live life to the fullest.'

• A. 'My biggest fear'
• B. 'that I wouldn't live life to the fullest'
• C. 'life'
• D. 'the fullest'

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'that I wouldn't live life to the fullest.' This clause functions as the object of the verb 'is,' making it a noun clause. Noun clauses act as nouns within a sentence, often functioning as subjects, objects, or complements. Choice A ('My biggest fear') is a noun phrase, not a clause. Choice C ('life') and Choice D ('the fullest') are singular nouns and not clauses.

2. Choose the correct form of the verb: 'She ______ the best student in her class.'

• A. is
• B. are
• C. were
• D. am

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The subject 'She' is singular, so the correct verb form is 'is.' In this sentence, the verb needs to agree with the singular subject 'She.' 'Are' (B), 'were' (C), and 'am' (D) are all incorrect as they are plural or the wrong form for the subject 'She.'

3. Which preposition best completes the sentence: 'She borrowed money from her friend.'?

• A. of
• B. from
• C. on
• D. for

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this sentence is 'from' as it indicates the source of the borrowed money. 'Of' (Choice A) is incorrect as it does not convey the idea of obtaining something from a specific person. 'On' (Choice C) is also incorrect as it does not relate to borrowing money from someone. 'For' (Choice D) is incorrect as it implies a different purpose than borrowing money from her friend. Therefore, the most appropriate preposition in this context is 'from', making the sentence grammatically correct and conveying the intended meaning.

4. If all of the following sentences appeared in the same paragraph, which sentence would be irrelevant?

• A. I had been doing yoga at least three times a week for the past year.
• B. At first, I walked and ran, though really it was more walking than running.
• C. I had never run a 5k race before, but I decided to try and gave myself six weeks to train for it.
• D. Each day I was able to run a bit further and a bit faster.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The sentence about doing yoga is irrelevant to the topic of training for a 5k race. The focus of the paragraph is on the process of preparing for the race through running and training, making sentence A unrelated as it discusses a different physical activity.

5. Which of the following prefixes means 'with'?

• A. bio-
• B. per-
• C. con-
• D. trans-

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: con-'. The prefix 'con-' means 'with', indicating being together or having a connection. - 'Bio-' means life or living organisms, not 'with'. - 'Per-' means through or completely, not 'with'. - 'Trans-' means across or beyond, not 'with'. Therefore, 'con-' is the only prefix among the options provided that signifies the meaning 'with'.
