1. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

• A. Won't
• B. Willn't
• C. Wouldn't
• D. Will'nt

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'

2. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? 'A sentence must always begin with a capital letter, but many people forget this rule.'

• A. Must always
• B. Simple
• C. Forget
• D. Capitol

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Capitol.' In this context, 'Capitol' is incorrect as it refers to a building where a legislative body meets. The correct term for uppercase letters is 'capital.' Choice A, 'must always,' is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. Choice B, 'simple,' is not the incorrect word in the sentence. Choice C, 'forget,' is also used appropriately in the sentence to indicate the action of neglecting the rule.

3. What does 'expand' mean?

• A. To decrease in size
• B. To increase in size or amount
• C. To spread out
• D. To eliminate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. 'Expand' means to increase in size or amount. Choice A, 'To decrease in size,' is the opposite of what 'expand' means. Choice C, 'To spread out,' is related to expanding but does not precisely define the term. Choice D, 'To eliminate,' is not synonymous with the term 'expand.'

4. What is a device?

• A. An idea or concept
• B. A tool or piece of equipment
• C. A small part of a larger structure
• D. An accessory for fashion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A device is defined as a tool or piece of equipment designed to serve a specific purpose. It is used to perform a particular function or task. An idea or concept (Choice A) may lead to the creation of a device, but they are not devices themselves. Choice C, referring to a small part of a larger structure, does not encompass the general definition of a device which implies standalone functionality. Choice D, an accessory for fashion, is entirely unrelated to the usual understanding of a device, which focuses on functionality rather than aesthetics.

5. Which verb is defined as to bring about; cause to happen; to accomplish; to make?

• A. Affect
• B. Accept
• C. Expect
• D. Effect

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'effect.' The verb 'effect' is defined as to bring about, cause to happen, accomplish, or make. It describes the action of making something happen or producing a result. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'affect' means to influence, 'accept' means to receive willingly, and 'expect' means to anticipate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'effect.'
