1. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Miguel and I are waiting to ___________ with the doctor.

• A. be met
• B. meeting
• C. met
• D. meet

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The verb 'meet' is the correct option in this context as it completes the sentence structure 'waiting to meet with the doctor' in a grammatically correct way. The sentence requires an infinitive verb form to convey the intended meaning of Miguel and I waiting to have a meeting or appointment with the doctor. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'be met' changes the meaning, 'meeting' is a gerund form which doesn't fit the sentence structure, and 'met' is a past tense form that doesn't match the present tense context of the sentence.

2. He ___________ football games.

• A. Never almost attends
• B. Almost attends never
• C. Attends almost never
• D. Almost never attends

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Almost never attends.' In English, adverbs like 'almost' usually come before the main verb in a sentence. In this case, the adverb 'almost' should precede the verb 'attends.' Therefore, the correct word order is 'Almost never attends,' indicating that he rarely goes to football games. Choices A, B, and C have incorrect word order for the adverb 'almost' in relation to the verb 'attends,' making them grammatically incorrect and not conveying the intended meaning.

3. Select the word that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Do not be afraid to consult ___________ your peers.

• A. with
• B. from
• C. by
• D. in

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this sentence is 'with.' The sentence should read: 'Do not be afraid to consult with your peers.' In this context, 'with' is the appropriate preposition to indicate collaborating or seeking advice from your peers. The other prepositions ('from,' 'by,' 'in') do not convey the intended meaning of seeking advice or collaborating with your peers in this context.

4. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? The boys leapt up happy to assist their favorite teacher.

• A. leapt
• B. happy
• C. assist
• D. their

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'their' is used incorrectly in the sentence. The correct word should be 'they're,' which is a contraction for 'they are.' The sentence should say: The boys leapt up, happy to assist their favorite teacher. Choice A, 'leapt,' is correctly used as the past tense of 'leap.' Choice B, 'happy,' is also correctly used as an adjective to describe the boys' emotional state. Choice C, 'assist,' is appropriately used as a verb to show the boys' willingness to help.

5. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. It is important that one is able to self-motivate and work by ___________.

• A. oneself
• B. oneselves
• C. hisself
• D. themselves

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'oneself' is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, allowing the sentence to be grammatically correct. Options B and C, 'oneselves' and 'hisself,' are not standard English words. Option D, 'themselves,' is a plural pronoun and does not agree with the singular noun 'one' in the sentence.
