1. What is the term for the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?

• A. Prefix
• B. Affix
• C. Suffix
• D. Vocab

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Prefix.' A prefix is a word part that is placed before a root word to modify its meaning. In this case, a prefix changes the meaning of the root word. Choice B, 'Affix,' is a broader term that includes prefixes, suffixes, and infixes. Choice C, 'Suffix,' is a word part placed after a root word to modify its meaning, not before. Choice D, 'Vocab,' is unrelated to the word part placed before a word.

2. What word meaning 'once a year' fits best in the sentence: 'The _____ family reunion picnic was held at the Jones farm instead of the county park.'

• A. regular
• B. annual
• C. biennial
• D. holiday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'annual' refers to something that happens once every year. 'Regular' could mean frequent but doesn't specify a yearly event. 'Biennial' refers to something occurring every two years, while 'holiday' relates to a special day of celebration, not necessarily an annual event.

3. What does incorrigible mean?

• A. Curable
• B. Incurable
• C. Chronic
• D. Temporary

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Incurable.' Incorrigible means something or someone that cannot be corrected or cured. It signifies a persistent behavior or trait that is unlikely to change. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because incorrigible specifically denotes something that is unable to be corrected, not curable, chronic, or temporary.

4. An apartment is advertised as being furnished. What does the sentence mean?

• A. It is equipped with articles
• B. It has just been repainted
• C. The first month’s rent must be paid in advance
• D. The utility bills are included in the rental cost

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'It is equipped with articles.' In real estate terms, when an apartment is advertised as 'furnished', it means that the apartment comes equipped with furniture and other necessary items. This choice directly reflects the meaning of a furnished apartment. The other choices are incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment has just been repainted (B), requires the first month’s rent to be paid in advance (C), or includes utility bills in the rental cost (D).

5. She was so mad at her boyfriend, she _____ on him when he called.

• A. hung up
• B. picked
• C. held
• D. held on

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: hung up.' In this context, 'hung up' is the correct phrasal verb to indicate ending a phone call abruptly. The phrase 'hung up' means to abruptly end a phone call. The other choices do not fit the context. 'Picked' implies selecting something, 'held' means to grasp or support something, and 'held on' implies maintaining a grip or connection rather than ending the call.
