1. Which of the following suffixes would change the verb 'manage' into an adjective?

A. -ed
B. -ible
C. -able
D. -er

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct suffix to change the verb 'manage' into an adjective is '-able.' When added to 'manage,' it forms the adjective 'manageable,' which means capable of being managed. Choice A ('-ed') is a past participle suffix, not an adjective-forming suffix. Choice B ('-ible') is used to form adjectives meaning 'capable of' but is not the correct choice in this context. Choice D ('-er') is typically used to form agent nouns rather than adjectives.

2. Based on his work and goals, how should the sentence 'Fred Hampton desired to see lasting social change for African Americans through nonviolent means and community recognition.' be best introduced?

A. NO CHANGE
B. Unfortunately,
C. Finally,
D. As a result,

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: As a result.' This choice effectively ties Hampton's desire for social change to his ongoing efforts and achievements. 'As a result' indicates a logical connection between Hampton's aspirations and the actions he took to achieve them. Choices B, C, and A are incorrect because they do not provide a suitable transition that connects Hampton's goals with his actions or achievements. 'Unfortunately' (choice B) introduces a negative connotation that is not appropriate in this context. 'Finally' (choice C) suggests a chronological sequence rather than a cause-and-effect relationship. 'NO CHANGE' (choice A) does not establish a clear link between Hampton's desires and his efforts for social change.

3. The term anaesthetic refers to medication that causes a temporary loss of feeling or sensation. Based on the meaning of the word in medical usage, what is the most likely meaning of the prefix an-?

A. without
B. against
C. away
D. before

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In medical terminology, the prefix 'an-' is commonly used to indicate 'without' or 'lack of.' In the word 'anaesthetic,' the prefix 'an-' combined with 'aesthetic' signifies the absence of sensation or feeling. Therefore, based on its meaning in medical usage, the most likely meaning of the prefix 'an-' is 'without.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: 'against,' 'away,' and 'before' do not align with the prefix 'an-' as used in medical terms.

4. Which of the following sentences has the correct subject-verb agreement?

A. The Akhal-Teke horse breed, originally from Turkmenistan, has long enjoyed a reputation for bravery and fortitude.
B. The employer decided that he could not, due to the high cost of health care, afford to offer other benefits to his employees.
C. Though Puerto Rico is known popularly for its beaches, its landscape also includes mountains, which are home to many of the island’s rural villages.
D. Each of the storm chasers decides whether or not to go out when rain makes visibility low.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The subject 'employer' in sentence B agrees with the singular verb 'decided.' In subject-verb agreement, singular subjects need singular verbs, while plural subjects need plural verbs. The use of 'decided' correctly pairs with the singular subject 'employer' in this sentence. Choice A is incorrect as the subject 'Akhal-Teke horse breed' is singular and should be paired with the singular verb 'has,' not 'have.' Choice C is incorrect because the verb 'play' does not agree with the plural subject 'mountains'; it should be 'play host' or 'are home to.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Each of the storm chasers' is a singular subject and should be paired with the singular verb 'decides,' not 'decide.'

5. Which of the following defines the word 'unilateral'?

A. Performed by one person
B. Performed by many people
C. Performed with precision
D. Performed according to rules

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Performed by one person.' 'Unilateral' means something done by one person or group without the agreement of another. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests the opposite of what 'unilateral' means. Choice C is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'unilateral.' Choice D is incorrect as it is not directly related to the definition of 'unilateral.'
