1. The meteorologist had forecast rain, ____________ Sheila brought her umbrella to work.

• A. Nor
• B. Yet
• C. Because
• D. So

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence implies a cause-and-effect relationship, so 'because' is the appropriate conjunction. 'Nor' is used in negative constructions, 'Yet' indicates contrast, and 'So' is used to show a consequence, none of which fit the context of the sentence.

2. Caudal refers to which part of the human torso?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Middle
• D. Front

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Caudal refers to the bottom part of the torso. In anatomical terms, 'caudal' means situated near or toward the tail or the hind part of the body. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe structures closer to the feet or lower part of the body. Therefore, 'Bottom' is the correct answer as it best represents the caudal region. Choices 'Top,' 'Middle,' and 'Front' do not accurately describe the caudal aspect of the human torso.

3. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.

4. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.

5. What does 'abrupt' mean?

• A. Gradual
• B. Sudden
• C. Delayed
• D. Relaxed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sudden.' Abrupt means something that occurs suddenly, without warning or preparation. It is the opposite of gradual, delayed, or relaxed, which imply a slower or more gentle pace of change or action.
