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 is the correct verb to complete the sentence? 'Economics ___ my least favorite subject at school.'

• A. Is
• B. Been
• C. Am
• D. Are

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is being treated as a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice B, 'Been,' is incorrect because it is the past participle form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice C, 'Am,' is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice D, 'Are,' is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.'

3. TO GATHER TOGETHER means to ?

• A. Semblance
• B. Assembly
• C. Appearance
• D. Assemble

Correct answer: D

Rationale: TO GATHER TOGETHER means to bring things or people together in one place. The word "assemble" is synonymous with gathering together and is the most appropriate choice among the given options.

4. What does 'Discrete' mean?

• A. Continuous
• B. Distinct or separate
• C. Mixed
• D. Combined

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Distinct or separate.' Discrete refers to something that is individually separate and distinct, not continuous (choice A), mixed (choice C), or combined (choice D). In mathematics and other fields, discrete items are countable and distinct from each other.

5. The hospital accepts a certain quota of 'indigent' patients.

• A. Uninjured
• B. Apathetic
• C. Resentful
• D. Impoverished

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'indigent' refers to people who are poor or impoverished, lacking financial resources. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'Impoverished.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'indigent.' Choice A, 'Uninjured,' is unrelated to financial status. Choice B, 'Apathetic,' means showing no interest or concern, which is irrelevant. Choice C, 'Resentful,' means feeling bitterness or indignation, which is also unrelated to poverty.
