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. 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).
3. What is another word for paltry?
- A. Insignificant
- B. Punitive
- C. Prolonged
- D. Economical
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Insignificant.' Paltry and insignificant are synonymous terms that denote something as unimportant, trivial, or of little value. Choice B, 'Punitive,' means inflicting or intended as punishment, which is unrelated to the meaning of paltry. Choice C, 'Prolonged,' means continuing for a long time, which is not a synonym for paltry. Choice D, 'Economical,' means giving good value or service in relation to the amount of money, which is not synonymous with paltry.
4. What does Lateral mean?
- A. Near the midline
- B. Away from the midline
- C. At the top of the body
- D. On the side
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'On the side.' Lateral means situated on the side or away from the midline. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because lateral specifically refers to a position that is situated away from the midline, not near it, at the top of the body, or on the side.
5. Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? 'The shopper was angry when he realized he could have ___ it cheaper at the other store.'
- A. Get
- B. Could have got
- C. Could have gotten
- D. Might have get
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C) Could have gotten.' In this sentence, the verb form 'gotten' is the correct past participle form of 'get,' indicating a missed opportunity in the past. Choice A is incorrect because 'get' is the base form of the verb, not the past participle. Choice B is incorrect as 'got' is the past tense, not the past participle. Choice D is incorrect because 'get' is the base form, and 'might have get' is not the correct structure for this sentence.
