1. What is the main idea of the following passage: 'The internet has revolutionized communication, allowing people to connect instantly from anywhere in the world. Social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, have further amplified this connectivity, enabling individuals to share information and ideas on a global scale.'

• A. The internet is a source of entertainment.
• B. Social media is the only way to communicate online.
• C. The internet has transformed communication globally.
• D. Technology is becoming increasingly complex.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage highlights how the internet and social media have revolutionized communication globally, enabling instant connections and sharing of information on a global scale. It emphasizes the transformative impact of these technologies on communication, not just entertainment or the complexity of technology. Choice A is incorrect as the passage focuses on communication, not entertainment. Choice B is incorrect as it oversimplifies the role of social media in communication. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically address the increasing complexity of technology.

2. Which of the following prefixes means 'above'?

• A. Dys-
• B. Supra-
• C. Intra-
• D. Sub-

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Supra-' as it means 'above.' 'Dys-' denotes 'bad' or 'difficult,' 'Intra-' means 'within,' and 'Sub-' indicates 'below' or 'under.' Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect in the context of the question.

3. Which of the following words is written correctly in its plural form?

• A. Chieves
• B. Prooves
• C. Razores
• D. Halves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Halves' is the correct plural form of 'half.' In this case, 'halves' is the plural form of 'half,' referring to two equal parts of a whole. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as 'chieves,' 'prooves,' and 'razores' are not valid plural forms of the respective singular nouns.

4. In which of the following situations would it be best to use informal language?

• A. In a seminar
• B. Writing a postcard
• C. Talking to your boss
• D. Participating in a professional conference

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is writing a postcard (Choice B). A postcard is a casual form of communication, typically sent to friends or family, making it a suitable context for informal language. Using informal language in a seminar (Choice A) would be inappropriate as it is a formal setting where professional language is expected. Talking to your boss (Choice C) and participating in a professional conference (Choice D) also require formal language to maintain professionalism and respect for the workplace environment.

5. What is the part of speech of the word 'fresh' in the sentence: 'We need to come up with a fresh approach to this problem'?

• A. Noun
• B. Verb
• C. Adverb
• D. Adjective

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'fresh' is functioning as an adjective in the sentence because it describes the noun 'approach.' In this context, 'fresh' provides a characteristic or quality of the approach, indicating that it is new or innovative. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Fresh' is not a noun (A), as it is not the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. It is not a verb (B) because it is not expressing an action or state of being. Additionally, 'fresh' is not an adverb (C) that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Therefore, the correct answer is D: 'Adjective.'
