1. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'Most children must learn for ___ the importance of good manners.'

• A. Themself
• B. Theirself
• C. Theirselves
• D. Themselves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to 'children' in the plural form. The other options, 'themself,' 'theirself,' and 'theirselves' are not grammatically correct as they do not match the plural subject 'children.'

2. Select the meaning that best fits the following word: injurious.

• A. Toxic
• B. Palatable
• C. Amenable
• D. Harmless

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Toxic.' 'Injurious' means harmful or likely to cause injury, similar to 'toxic.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'palatable' means pleasant to taste, 'amenable' means cooperative or willing to agree, and 'harmless' means not causing harm.

3. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

4. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

• A. Won't
• B. Willn't
• C. Wouldn't
• D. Will'nt

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'

5. What is another word for EXPEDITE?

• A. Transfer
• B. Rush
• C. Cancel
• D. Hold

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rush. To expedite means to accelerate the progress or speed of something, to hasten or facilitate. 'Transfer' (choice A) means to move from one place to another, 'Cancel' (choice C) means to call off, and 'Hold' (choice D) means to keep or detain. Therefore, 'Rush' is the most appropriate synonym for expedite in this context.
