1. What is the correct order for the following sentence: 'yesterday she went to the store'?

• A. She went to the store yesterday.
• B. To the store she went yesterday.
• C. Yesterday to the store she went.
• D. She yesterday went to the store.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct order for the sentence 'yesterday she went to the store' is 'She went to the store yesterday.' In English, the standard word order for a sentence is subject-verb-object-adverbial (time). Choice A is the correct answer as it follows this standard order. Choice B changes the order of the subject and object. Choice C changes the order of the adverbial and subject. Choice D changes the order of the subject and adverbial. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.

2. Choose the correctly punctuated sentence.

• A. Its a beautiful day outside.
• B. It's a beautiful day outside.
• C. Its' a beautiful day outside.
• D. It is' a beautiful day outside.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'It's a beautiful day outside.' 'It's' is the contraction for 'it is.' Choice A is incorrect as it should be 'It's' instead of 'Its.' Choice C is incorrect as the apostrophe should come before the 's' in the contraction. Choice D is incorrect as the use of 'is'' is grammatically incorrect.

3. Identify the type of sentence: 'The sky is blue, and the grass is green.'

• A. Simple sentence
• B. Compound sentence
• C. Complex sentence
• D. Compound-complex sentence

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, compound sentence. This sentence consists of two independent clauses ('The sky is blue' and 'the grass is green') that are joined by the coordinating conjunction 'and.' A simple sentence contains a single independent clause. In contrast, a complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. A compound-complex sentence consists of multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause, which are not present in the given sentence, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

4. Select the correct words to complete the following sentence: I have ____________ due tomorrow.

• A. many homework
• B. many homeworks
• C. a lot of homework
• D. a lot of homeworks

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: a lot of homework'. In this case, 'homework' is an uncountable noun, so it does not take a plural form like 'homeworks'. The phrase 'a lot of' is used to quantify uncountable nouns, making it the appropriate choice in this context. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'homework' should not be pluralized, and the phrase 'many' is not suitable for uncountable nouns.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'intransigent' in the sentence: 'Jolie has remained intransigent in her stance on the issue.'

• A. Stubborn
• B. Indefinite
• C. Passionate
• D. Outspoken

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Stubborn.' In this context, 'intransigent' means refusing to change one's views or to agree about something, which aligns with the meaning of 'stubborn.' Choice B, 'Indefinite,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of being unyielding or uncompromising. Choice C, 'Passionate,' is incorrect as it does not convey the idea of being unwilling to change one's stance. Choice D, 'Outspoken,' is also incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of being inflexible or obstinate.
