1. Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Until the semester ends, Lily ___________.

• A. is not traveling far from town
• B. has not traveled far from town
• C. will not have traveled far from town
• D. will not travel far from town

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct phrase should use the future tense because it indicates an action that will happen in the future. The phrase 'will not travel far from town' fits this requirement, making the sentence grammatically correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not express a future action, which is needed in this context.

2. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Kalinda spends part of her day ___________ data from the lab.

• A. inputs
• B. input
• C. having input
• D. inputting

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct form in this sentence is 'inputting,' as it is the gerund form of the verb 'input.' The gerund form is used to show that Kalinda spends part of her day engaging in the ongoing action of inputting data from the lab. Choice A ('inputs') is incorrect as it is the third-person singular form of the verb, which does not fit here. Choice B ('input') is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not convey the ongoing action required in this context. Choice C ('having input') is incorrect as it suggests a completed action rather than an ongoing one.

3. To be admitted to the university, he ________ to make an application by May 15.

• A. Has
• B. Have
• C. Might
• D. Should

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Has.' In this sentence, 'he' is singular, so the verb should also be singular. 'Has' is the correct form of the verb for the third-person singular subject 'he.' The verb 'have' is plural and does not agree with the singular subject. 'Might' and 'should' are modal verbs that do not fit the context of the sentence requiring a simple verb form.

4. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. After ___________ for an entire afternoon, the resident felt revitalized.

• A. having rest
• B. resting
• C. rested
• D. rest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - resting' because it is the present participle form of the verb 'rest' and fits appropriately in the sentence structure 'After resting for an entire afternoon, the resident felt revitalized.' The present participle is used to show an ongoing action that happened before the feeling of revitalization. Choice A 'having rest' is incorrect as it does not convey the continuous action needed in this context. Choice C 'rested' is incorrect as it is the past tense form and does not match the tense of the sentence. Choice D 'rest' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not provide the needed -ing form for the sentence.

5. Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence: 'There is no real distinction between the two treatment protocols recommended online.'

• A. real
• B. among
• C. protocols
• D. online

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct word that should replace 'among' in the sentence is 'between' when referring to a distinction between two things. 'Among' is used when referring to more than two items or when the items are part of a group. In this context, 'between' is more appropriate as there are only two treatment protocols being compared.
