1. Select the meaning of the word 'somnambulist' in the sentence based on the context clues: 'If you wake up outside in your pajamas in the middle of the night, you may be a somnambulist.'

• A. Explorer
• B. Magician
• C. Insomniac
• D. Sleepwalker

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Sleepwalker.' A somnambulist is someone who walks or performs other activities while asleep, commonly known as a sleepwalker. In the given sentence, the context of waking up outside in pajamas in the middle of the night indicates an occurrence associated with sleepwalking. Choice A, 'Explorer,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the behavior described. Choice B, 'Magician,' is not related to the context of sleepwalking. Choice C, 'Insomniac,' refers to a person who has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, which is not the meaning conveyed in the sentence. Therefore, 'D: Sleepwalker' is the most appropriate choice based on the context clues provided.

2. Which of the following prefixes means 'with'?

• A. bio-
• B. per-
• C. con-
• D. trans-

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'con-'. The prefix 'con-' means 'with' or 'together,' as in words like 'convene' or 'connect.' Choice A, 'bio-', is a prefix that means 'life' or 'living organisms,' not 'with.' Choice B, 'per-', is a prefix that means 'through' or 'thoroughly,' not 'with.' Choice D, 'trans-', is a prefix that means 'across' or 'beyond,' not 'with.' Therefore, the correct choice that means 'with' is 'con-'.

3. Which word correctly completes the sentence: 'He was _____ by the kindness of strangers.'

• A. affected
• B. infected
• C. effected
• D. defected

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'effected.' In this context, 'effected' means to produce a result or impression, which aligns with the emotional impact of the strangers' kindness. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'affected' might seem plausible, but 'effected' is a better fit as it implies a direct result. B) 'infected' is incorrect as it implies a negative or harmful impact, which is not the intended meaning. D) 'defected' means to abandon allegiance, which is not relevant in the given sentence.

4. Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: I _________ about it for a long time before I decided to major in criminal justice.

• A. think
• B. thank
• C. thinked
• D. thought

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'thought.' 'Thought' is the correct past tense form of 'think.' In this sentence, 'thought' is used to indicate that the thinking process happened in the past before deciding to major in criminal justice. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Think' is the present tense form, 'thank' is a different verb with a different meaning, and 'thinked' is not a valid past tense form of 'think.'

5. Select the book title that does not contain a preposition.

• A. The Man in the Brown Suit
• B. The Secret of Chimneys
• C. Murder on the Orient Express
• D. And Then There Were None

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D' - 'And Then There Were None.' This title does not contain a preposition. Prepositions are words that show the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence. In this title, 'And,' 'Then,' 'There,' and 'None' are not prepositions; they are conjunctions and pronouns. Choices A, B, and C all contain prepositions: 'in,' 'of,' and 'on,' respectively. Therefore, they are incorrect answers for this question.
