1. Place the four words in alphabetical order.

• A. Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly
• B. Assembly, assemble, assembled, assembling
• C. Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled
• D. Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In alphabetical order, 'Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled' is correct. The alphabetical order is determined by the first letter of each word. The correct sequence starts with 'Assemble,' followed by 'assembly,' then 'assembling,' and finally 'assembled.' Choice A, B, and D do not follow the correct alphabetical order as the words are not arranged alphabetically.

2. What does Redundancy mean?

• A. Deficiency
• B. Surplus
• C. Delicate
• D. Abundance

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Redundancy means having more than is needed, making 'Surplus' the correct choice. The term does not relate to 'Deficiency' (lack), 'Delicate' (fragile), or 'Abundance' (plenty). In the context of this question, Redundancy refers to an excess or surplus of something.

3. Choose the meaning of the word intact in the following sentence: 'The capsule remains intact even when placed in water.'

• A. Viable
• B. Operational
• C. Tinted
• D. Whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'intact' is synonymous with 'whole,' meaning that the capsule remains undamaged or complete even when placed in water. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Viable' means capable of working successfully, 'operational' means in working order, and 'tinted' means slightly colored.

4. Select the sentence in which 'snake' is used as a verb.

• A. The snake is in the grass
• B. He had to snake his way through the crowd
• C. The snake slithered away
• D. The spy had to snake his way onto the train

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'The spy had to snake his way onto the train' correctly uses 'snake' as a verb. In this context, 'snake' is used to describe the spy's action of moving cunningly and stealthily, similar to how a snake slithers, making it the appropriate choice where 'snake' functions as a verb. The other choices use 'snake' as a noun to refer to the reptile itself or its movement, not as a verb.

5. Her mother asked her what she would do after she _____.

• A. graduated
• B. completes
• C. finishes
• D. finished

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.
