1. Which of the following is the correct tense used in the bold part in this sentence? My grandpa WILL BE WRITING a memoir...

• A. Future progressive
• B. Past perfect
• C. Future simple
• D. Present perfective

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Future progressive. 'Will be writing' indicates an ongoing action that will occur in the future, which is the future progressive tense. Choice B, Past perfect, is incorrect as it refers to an action completed before a specified time in the past. Choice C, Future simple, is incorrect as it refers to a simple future action without indicating ongoing progress. Choice D, Present perfective, is incorrect as it does not match the tense used in the sentence.

2. Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?

• A. having one color
• B. having many parts
• C. having a lot of time
• D. having too much heat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'monochromatic' refers to something that has only one color. Choice A, 'having one color,' is the correct description for monochromatic. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'monochromatic' does not mean 'having many parts,' 'having a lot of time,' or 'having too much heat.' Monochromatic specifically conveys the idea of consisting of or using only one color, making Choice A the correct answer.

3. Which word best synonyms with the word 'elated'?

• A. Angry
• B. Sad
• C. Excited
• D. Confused

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'elated' means extremely happy and joyful. 'Excited' is the best synonym as it also conveys feelings of happiness and enthusiasm, similar to 'elated'. On the other hand, 'angry', 'sad', and 'confused' represent different emotions that are not synonymous with 'elated'. Choosing 'angry' indicates a strong negative emotion, 'sad' represents a feeling of sorrow, and 'confused' implies a state of being unclear or uncertain, which are all contrary to the meaning of 'elated'. Therefore, 'Excited' is the correct choice in this context.

• A. caffeine
• B. truly
• C. neither
• D. exactly

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'caffeine.' The word 'caffeine' is spelled with only one 'e' after the 'f,' not 'caffiene.' 'Truly,' 'neither,' and 'exactly' are all spelled correctly in the sentence provided.

5. Which of the following is an appropriately-punctuated correction for this sentence: Protestors filled the streets of the city because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership?

• A. Protestors filled the streets of the city, because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership.
• B. Protesters, filled the streets of the city, because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership.
• C. Because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership protestors filled the streets of the city.
• D. Protestors filled the streets of the city because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The sentence should be corrected by removing the period and joining the clauses to avoid a sentence fragment. Choice A is incorrect due to the unnecessary comma after 'city.' Choice B is incorrect as it mistakenly separates the subject and verb with a comma. Choice C is incorrect as it begins with the subordinate clause, disrupting the logical flow of the sentence.
