1. Identify the subject in the following sentence: 'The red car parked in the driveway.'

• A. driveway
• B. red
• C. car
• D. the

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the sentence 'The red car parked in the driveway,' the subject is 'car' because it is the noun that is performing the action of parking. The subject is typically the main noun that the rest of the sentence revolves around. 'Driveway' is part of the prepositional phrase 'in the driveway.' 'Red' is an adjective describing the car, and 'the' is an article providing information about the car but not the main noun carrying out the action.

2. Which of the following is the plural of the word chief?

• A. Chiefs
• B. Chieves
• C. Chievs
• D. Chiefes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chiefs.' When making the word 'chief' plural, the correct form is 'Chiefs.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the standard rules for forming plurals in English. 'Chieves,' 'Chievs,' and 'Chiefes' are not valid plural forms of 'chief.' It's important to understand the basic rules of pluralization in English to form correct plural nouns.

3. Hospitals are finding severe unexpected complications in full-term newborns. Researchers are delving into the problem to find out the causes. In a recent study, Dr. Arnold N. Skjong reported, 'neonatal transfer was the most common complication.' This seems to be especially true in hospitals without higher levels of neonatal care.

• A. Hospitals are finding severe unexpected complications in term newborns.
• B. Researchers are delving into the problem to find out the causes.
• C. Dr. Arnold N. Skjong reported, 'Neonatal transfer was the most common complication.'
• D. This seems to be especially true in hospitals without higher levels of neonatal care.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because direct quotations, like the one from Dr. Arnold N. Skjong, require citations because they are taken from another source. Choice A is incorrect as it alters the original term 'full-term newborns' to 'term newborns,' changing the specificity of the information provided. Choice B is not the correct answer as it is a general statement about researchers without directly addressing the specific information provided by Dr. Arnold N. Skjong. Choice D is incorrect as it does not directly address or quote Dr. Arnold N. Skjong's statement about neonatal transfer being the most common complication in hospitals without higher levels of neonatal care.

4. Which of the following is the correct tense used in the bold part in this sentence? My grandpa WILL BE WRITING a memoir...

• A. Future progressive
• B. Past perfect
• C. Future simple
• D. Present perfective

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Future progressive. 'Will be writing' indicates an ongoing action that will occur in the future, which is the future progressive tense. Choice B, Past perfect, is incorrect as it refers to an action completed before a specified time in the past. Choice C, Future simple, is incorrect as it refers to a simple future action without indicating ongoing progress. Choice D, Present perfective, is incorrect as it does not match the tense used in the sentence.

5. Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?

• A. having one color
• B. having many parts
• C. having a lot of time
• D. having too much heat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'monochromatic' refers to something that has only one color. Choice A, 'having one color,' is the correct description for monochromatic. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'monochromatic' does not mean 'having many parts,' 'having a lot of time,' or 'having too much heat.' Monochromatic specifically conveys the idea of consisting of or using only one color, making Choice A the correct answer.
