1. Which phrase best completes the sentence: 'Despite _____, he managed to complete the race.'

• A. his injury
• B. his condition
• C. his pain
• D. his fatigue

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: his injury.' In the context of completing a race, an injury would be a significant obstacle to overcome. While choices B, C, and D could also pose challenges, an injury is the most severe hindrance that would make completing a race particularly difficult. His condition, pain, or fatigue may affect performance, but they are not as directly impactful as an injury in this scenario.

2. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ___ and a toast was made by our host.'

• A. Were risen
• B. Were rose
• C. Were raised
• D. Arose

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were raised.' This phrase is the correct passive form, indicating the action of lifting the glasses during the toast. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'were risen' is not grammatically correct, 'were rose' is not the appropriate verb form, and 'arose' does not convey the action of lifting the glasses as required in the sentence.

3. What is another word for 'flux'?

• A. Quantity
• B. Inflation
• C. Strength
• D. Discharge

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Discharge.' 'Flux' is a term used to describe the flow or discharge of fluid. Therefore, 'Discharge' is the most appropriate synonym in this context. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'Quantity' refers to an amount, B) 'Inflation' refers to the rise in prices, and C) 'Strength' refers to the power or quality of being strong.

4. The mail carrier's job is to put the _____ in every mailbox on the block.

• A. letter
• B. envelope
• C. package
• D. documents

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'envelope.' The mail carrier typically delivers envelopes containing mail to every mailbox on the block. Envelopes are commonly used to protect and contain letters, making them the most suitable choice in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because while the mail carrier may deliver letters, packages, or documents, the most common item placed in mailboxes is an envelope containing mail.

5. Which word is not spelled correctly in the sentence: 'The physician thought it was unnecessary to explain the procedure.'

• A. physician
• B. unnecessary
• C. explain
• D. procedure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unecessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have double 'n' as in 'unnecessary'. Choice A, C, and D are spelled correctly in the sentence provided.
