1. Select the word from the following sentence that has more than one meaning: 'Javier was overjoyed when he finally finished his application for college.'

• A. Overjoyed
• B. Finally
• C. Application
• D. College

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Application.' In the sentence, 'application' can refer to a formal request (such as a college application) or the act of applying something (like applying for a job). The word 'overjoyed' (A) only has one meaning, conveying extreme happiness. 'Finally' (B) indicates the completion of a task or reaching the end of something, without multiple interpretations. 'College' (D) refers specifically to an educational institution and does not have multiple meanings in this context.

2. 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.

3. Choose the correct pronoun to complete the sentence: 'Neither Michael nor Sarah ____ their homework finished yet.'

• A. has
• B. have
• C. are having
• D. does have

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'neither' is followed by two subjects, 'Michael' and 'Sarah.' When 'neither' is followed by two singular subjects joined by 'nor,' the verb should agree with the subject closer to the verb, which is 'Sarah' in this case. Therefore, the correct pronoun to complete the sentence is 'have.' Choice A, 'has,' is incorrect because it is singular and does not agree with the plural subject 'Sarah.' Choice C, 'are having,' is incorrect as it changes the sentence structure and does not fit grammatically. Choice D, 'does have,' is incorrect as 'does' is unnecessary and 'have' does not agree with the singular verb 'does.'

4. Which of the following movie titles contains a pronoun?

• A. Rear Window
• B. North by Northwest
• C. The Trouble with Harry
• D. The Man Who Knew Too Much

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The title "The Man Who Knew Too Much" contains the pronoun "who."

5. The important decision will be made tomorrow. Which word is the comparative form of the adjective 'important'?

• A. important
• B. importantly
• C. more important
• D. most important

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'important' is the positive form of the adjective. When comparing two things, the comparative form is used, which is 'more important' in this case. 'More important' indicates a higher degree of importance when comparing two things. Therefore, 'more important' is the correct comparative form of the adjective 'important' in this context. Choice A ('important') is the positive form, not the comparative form. Choice B ('importantly') is an adverb, not a comparative form of the adjective. Choice D ('most important') is the superlative form, used to show the highest degree of importance among three or more things, not for comparing two things.
