1. 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.

2. Which of the following sentences contains proper capitalization?

• A. Last summer, my family went on a trip to Niagara Falls in New York.
• B. Last summer, my family went on a trip to Niagara Falls in New York.
• C. Last summer, my family went on a trip to Niagara Falls in New York.
• D. Last summer, my family went on a trip to Niagara Falls in New York.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct sentence follows proper capitalization rules where the words 'summer,' 'Niagara Falls,' and 'New York' are capitalized appropriately. In options A, B, and D, there are inconsistencies in capitalization where either 'summer,' 'Niagara Falls,' or 'New York' are not capitalized correctly. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

3. Which of the following examples is a complete sentence?

• A. Let me know.
• B. On the subject of philosophy.
• C. Depending on the type of books you like.
• D. Where there are lots of people.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Let me know.' This is a complete sentence as it contains a subject ('me') and a verb ('know'). Choice B, 'On the subject of philosophy,' is a prepositional phrase and does not form a complete sentence as it lacks a subject and verb. Choice C, 'Depending on the type of books you like,' is a dependent clause and does not stand alone as a complete sentence. Choice D, 'Where there are lots of people,' is a dependent clause as it begins with a subordinating conjunction ('where') and does not function as a complete sentence on its own.

4. Which of the following suffixes is NOT commonly used to form a noun from some other part of speech?

• A. -ation
• B. -ness
• C. -ity
• D. -ize

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The suffix '-ize' is used to form verbs by converting nouns or adjectives into verbs. For example, 'real' can become 'realize' or 'modern' can become 'modernize.' On the other hand, the suffixes '-ation,' '-ness,' and '-ity' are commonly used to form nouns. '-ation' is often used to form nouns from verbs (e.g., 'celebrate' to 'celebration'), '-ness' is used to form abstract nouns from adjectives (e.g., 'kind' to 'kindness'), and '-ity' is used to form abstract nouns from adjectives (e.g., 'happy' to 'happiness'). Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' because '-ize' is not commonly used to form a noun from some other part of speech.

5. Which sentence uses the pronoun 'they' correctly?

• A. They is going to the park later today.
• B. Sarah and John said they would come to the party.
• C. The teacher said they needs to finish the report.
• D. They enjoys reading books in their free time.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A. "They" should be used with "are," not "is." B. Correct use of "they" for multiple people (Sarah and John). C. "They" should not be paired with "needs." D. "They" should be used with "enjoy," not "enjoys."
