1. In which sentence is the form 'fast' used as an adverb?

• A. The fast car drove over the bridge
• B. The car drove fast over the bridge
• C. The runner was fast
• D. He runs fast

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'He runs fast' uses 'fast' correctly as an adverb. An adverb is used to describe a verb and in this case, 'fast' is describing how 'he runs.' Choices A, B, and C use 'fast' as an adjective, not an adverb. In choice A, 'fast' is describing the car, in choice B it is describing how the car drove, and in choice C it is describing the runner.

2. The meteorologist had forecast rain, ____________ Sheila brought her umbrella to work.

• A. Nor
• B. Yet
• C. Because
• D. So

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence implies a cause-and-effect relationship, so 'because' is the appropriate conjunction. 'Nor' is used in negative constructions, 'Yet' indicates contrast, and 'So' is used to show a consequence, none of which fit the context of the sentence.

3. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.

4. Which term is descriptive of a small child just learning to walk?

• A. Obese
• B. Toddler
• C. Geriatric
• D. Hale

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Toddler.' A toddler is a young child typically between the ages of one and three who is just learning to walk. 'Obese' (choice A) refers to excess body fat, 'Geriatric' (choice C) pertains to elderly individuals, and 'Hale' (choice D) means strong and healthy, none of which are descriptive of a small child learning to walk.

5. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

• A. Innovative
• B. Outdated
• C. Effective
• D. Advanced

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'
