1. In the United States, drivers drive cars on the _____ side of the road.

• A. Rite
• B. Left
• C. Off-side
• D. Right

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the United States, drivers drive on the 'right' side of the road. This is the standard practice in the country. Choice A 'Rite' is incorrect as it is a misspelling of 'Right.' Choice B 'Left' is incorrect as driving on the left side is common in countries like the UK, not the US. Choice C 'Off-side' is incorrect as it is not a standard term used to describe the side of the road where people drive in the US.

2. Which sentence is grammatically correct?

• A. Somebody left their jacket on the train
• B. Somebody left his or her jacket on the train
• C. His jacket was left on the train
• D. His or her jacket was left on the train

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'Somebody left his or her jacket on the train.' is grammatically correct and respects gender neutrality. 'Somebody' is singular, so the pronoun 'their' in choice A is incorrect. Choice C changes the subject from 'somebody' to 'his,' making it grammatically incorrect. Choice D is grammatically correct, but it is less concise and more awkward than choice B, which smoothly combines 'his' and 'her' for gender-neutral language.

3. The _____ of this weather was that we all got wet.

• A. result
• B. effect
• C. affect
• D. impact

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'effect' is the correct term to use as it refers to the outcome or consequence of the weather, which was that everyone got wet. 'Effect' is a noun that indicates the result of a particular action or situation. Choice A 'result' is incorrect because it refers to the outcome of an action, not the outcome of weather. Choice C 'affect' is incorrect as it is used as a verb to show influence or make a difference. Choice D 'impact' is incorrect because it refers to a strong influence or effect.

4. Which of the following sentences uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She was going to the store
• B. She was going to the store
• C. She has gone to the store
• D. She gone to the store

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She was going to the store.' This sentence uses the correct form of the past continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing an action in progress in the past. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct verb form. Choice C uses the present perfect tense, which is not suitable for describing a past action in progress. Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the auxiliary verb 'has' in the sentence structure.

5. The voice box may be called the ______

• A. Pharynx
• B. Larynx
• C. Trachea
• D. Esophagus

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for the voice box is the larynx. The pharynx is part of the throat involved in swallowing and breathing but not the voice production. The trachea is the windpipe responsible for air passage, and the esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Therefore, in this context, the larynx is the most appropriate term.
