1. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?

• A. Their
• B. They're
• C. The're
• D. No contraction used

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'

2. What does the word 'principally' mean?

• A. Mostly
• B. Clearly
• C. In our opinion
• D. Royally

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Mostly.' The word 'principally' means mainly or mostly. It is used to describe something that is primarily or predominantly true in a given context. Choice B, 'Clearly,' is incorrect as it does not reflect the primary meaning of the word. Choice C, 'In our opinion,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'principally.' Choice D, 'Royally,' is incorrect as it does not align with the definition of the word.

3. What is tepid bathwater?

• A. Water that is salty
• B. Water that is lukewarm
• C. Water that is icy
• D. Water that is half-full

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Tepid bathwater refers to water that is neither too hot nor too cold, but rather lukewarm in temperature. It is a comfortable and soothing temperature for bathing or soaking. Choice A is incorrect because tepid water is not salty. Choice C is incorrect because icy water is cold, not tepid. Choice D is incorrect as half-full refers to the quantity of water, not its temperature.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'residual' in the sentence. Something that remains is referred to as __________.

• A. Resident
• B. Residual
• C. Resistance
• D. Resin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Residual.' In the given sentence, 'residual' is used to describe something that is left or remaining. 'Residual' fits the context perfectly as it aligns with the definition of what remains. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'Resident' refers to a person living in a specific place, C) 'Resistance' is the act of opposing or withstanding something, and D) 'Resin' is a sticky substance produced by plants.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'sanctioned' in the following sentence: 'The professor sanctioned our field trip to the chemistry lab.'

• A. Organized
• B. Deterred
• C. Neglected
• D. Authorized

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, the word 'sanctioned' means to authorize or approve. The sentence indicates that the professor gave permission for the field trip to the chemistry lab, which aligns with the meaning of 'authorized.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Organized' does not fit the context as the sentence is about granting approval, not arranging. 'Deterred' means to discourage, which is the opposite of what the professor did. 'Neglected' means failed to care for or pay attention to, which is unrelated to the professor approving the field trip.
