1. Select the word or phrase that is misplaced in the sentence. There was a long fence behind the farmhouse made of crisscrossed logs.

• A. There
• B. a long fence
• C. the farmhouse
• D. made of crisscrossed logs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the sentence, the phrase 'the farmhouse' is misplaced because it should come before 'behind' to clarify the location properly. The corrected sentence should read, 'There was a long fence behind the farmhouse made of crisscrossed logs.' Placing 'the farmhouse' after 'behind' creates a clearer and more logical sentence structure. Choice A, 'There,' is correct in its placement at the beginning of the sentence. Choice B, 'a long fence,' is also correctly positioned as it describes the object being referred to. Choice D, 'made of crisscrossed logs,' is properly placed to provide additional detail about the fence.

2. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.

3. What is the passage primarily about?

• A. What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth
• B. A comparison of the Moon and Earth
• C. The Moon’s effect on Earth
• D. The origin of the Moon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth.' The passage discusses various aspects of the Moon, including its origin, gravitational influence on Earth, physical characteristics, lack of atmosphere, and surface features. It provides insights into what humans know about the Moon and highlights its differences from Earth. Choice B is incorrect because while the passage does compare certain aspects of the Moon and Earth, it primarily focuses on the Moon itself rather than a direct comparison. Choice C is incorrect as the passage briefly mentions the Moon's effect on Earth in relation to tides but does not primarily focus on this aspect. Choice D is incorrect as the origin of the Moon is mentioned in the passage, but it is not the primary focus of the text.

4. How might the energy use of an appliance be expressed?

• A. Power = energy × time
• B. Time + energy = power
• C. Energy = power × time
• D. Energy/power = time

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The energy use of an appliance can be expressed using the formula Energy = Power × Time. In this formula, Energy represents the amount of electricity consumed by the appliance, Power indicates the rate at which the appliance uses electricity (measured in watts), and Time represents the duration for which the appliance is being used (measured in hours). By multiplying the power rating of the appliance by the time it is in use, one can calculate the total energy consumed. Option C is the correct choice because it accurately represents the relationship between power, time, and energy. Choices A, B, and D present incorrect representations of the relationship between energy, power, and time, making them wrong answers.

5. The new manager was easy to get along with. How would you describe the new manager based on this sentence?

• A. Affable (friendly)
• B. Tortuous
• C. Apathetic
• D. Sacrosanct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct choice is A - Affable (friendly). Affable means friendly and easy to get along with, which aligns with the description of the new manager in the sentence. Choice B, Tortuous, means twisting or complicated, which does not describe the manager's demeanor. Choice C, Apathetic, means showing no interest or enthusiasm, which is the opposite of the manager being easy to get along with. Choice D, Sacrosanct, means holy or sacred, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence.
