1. To be admitted to the university, he ________ to make an application by May 15.

• A. Has
• B. Have
• C. Might
• D. Should

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Has.' In this sentence, 'he' is singular, so the verb should also be singular. 'Has' is the correct form of the verb for the third-person singular subject 'he.' The verb 'have' is plural and does not agree with the singular subject. 'Might' and 'should' are modal verbs that do not fit the context of the sentence requiring a simple verb form.

2. When a car is driven for a long time, the pressure of air in the tires increases. This is best explained by which of the following gas laws?

• A. Boyle's law
• B. Charles' law
• C. Gay-Lussac's law
• D. Dalton's law

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Gay-Lussac's law, also known as the law of pressure-temperature, states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when the volume is constant. As a car is driven for a long time, the tires heat up due to friction and increased air pressure inside the tires. This results in an increase in temperature, causing the pressure of the air inside the tires to increase according to Gay-Lussac's law. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Boyle's law relates pressure and volume, Charles' law relates volume and temperature, and Dalton's law deals with the partial pressures of gases in a mixture.

3. If you are an assiduous worker, you are probably ______.

• A. Lazy
• B. Industrious
• C. Inconsistent
• D. Procrastinating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Industrious.' Assiduous means showing great care and perseverance in your work, which aligns with being industrious. Choice A, 'Lazy,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of assiduous. Choice C, 'Inconsistent,' does not directly relate to being assiduous, and choice D, 'Procrastinating,' suggests delaying tasks which is contrary to being assiduous.

4. When directions are convoluted, what is wrong with them?

• A. They are erroneous.
• B. They are incomplete.
• C. They are confusing.
• D. They are unethical.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When directions are convoluted, it means they are intricate, complex, and difficult to understand. This leads to confusion on the part of the recipient trying to follow them. Choice A, 'They are erroneous,' suggests that the directions are incorrect, which might not always be the case. Choice B, 'They are incomplete,' implies that something essential is missing from the directions, which might not be the primary issue with convoluted directions. Choice D, 'They are unethical,' is unrelated to the clarity or complexity of the directions, making it an incorrect choice.

5. He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

• A. that
• B. who
• C. which
• D. whom

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'who' is the correct relative pronoun to refer to people. 'That' is used for things, 'which' is used for animals or things, and 'whom' is an object pronoun, not needed in this sentence. Therefore, 'who' is the most appropriate choice.
