1. Which of the following defines the word 'omnipotent'?

• A. Well-worn
• B. Overreaching
• C. All-powerful
• D. Angry

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'All-powerful'. 'Omnipotent' means having unlimited power or authority. Choice A, 'Well-worn', does not relate to the definition of omnipotent. Choice B, 'Overreaching', implies extending beyond proper limits but does not capture the essence of unlimited power. Choice D, 'Angry', does not align with the meaning of omnipotent.

2. Unlike a traditional comic book, a graphic novel is released as one single publication, either in the form of one long story or an anthology. Which of the following is an appropriate synonym for traditional as it is used in the sentence?

• A. old-fashioned
• B. conventional
• C. expensive
• D. popular

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'traditional' is used to describe the characteristic of a comic book that follows long-established conventions. The word 'conventional' is the most appropriate synonym because it implies something that follows standard or established practices. 'Old-fashioned' suggests something outdated, which is not the intended meaning here. 'Expensive' and 'popular' do not relate to the context of how comic books are released and do not align with the meaning of 'traditional' in this specific context.

3. Which term refers to the feelings a text creates in the reader?

• A. Tone
• B. Irony
• C. Mood
• D. Theme

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Mood.' Mood refers to the atmosphere or emotional setting created by a piece of literary work. It reflects the feelings and emotions evoked in the reader while experiencing the text. 'Tone' (choice A) refers to the attitude of the writer towards the subject or audience, 'Irony' (choice B) involves a contrast between what is expected and what actually occurs, and 'Theme' (choice D) is the central idea or message conveyed by the text.

4. Which of the following suffixes has an action that means 'relating to'?

• A. -ic
• B. -ology
• C. -ation
• D. -ate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is '-ic.' The suffix '-ic' means 'relating to,' as seen in words like 'artistic' (relating to art). - 'B' is incorrect as the suffix '-ology' refers to the study of a subject, not 'relating to.' - 'C' is incorrect as the suffix '-ation' is used to form nouns expressing an action or process, not 'relating to.' - 'D' is incorrect as the suffix '-ate' is used to form verbs or nouns denoting an office, function, or rank, not 'relating to.'

5. Choose the sentence with the correct pronoun usage.

• A. “This mystery concerns my friend Watson and me.”
• B. “This mystery concerns me and my friend Watson.”
• C. “This mystery concerns my friend Watson and I.”
• D. “This mystery concerns I and my friend Watson.”

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct pronoun usage is 'me' when it is the object of a verb or preposition. In this sentence, 'me' is the object of the verb 'concerns,' so it should be used instead of 'I.' Additionally, the correct order for objects in a sentence is 'my friend Watson and me.' Choice B is incorrect because 'me' should come before 'my friend Watson' to maintain the correct order. Choice C is incorrect as 'I' is incorrectly used instead of 'me.' Choice D is incorrect because 'I' is used incorrectly as the object pronoun, and the order is reversed.
