• A. The cars on the overpass moved fast.
• B. The clock on the wall is 10 minutes fast.
• C. The batter could not hit the fast pitch.
• D. The fast cars drove over the bridge.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In sentence A, 'fast' is used as an adverb to modify the verb 'moved,' describing how the cars moved quickly. Choices B, C, and D use 'fast' as an adjective, describing the clock, pitch, and cars respectively. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, while adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.

• A. Resident
• B. Residual
• C. Resistance
• D. Resin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Residual.' In the given sentence, 'residual' is used to describe something that is left or remaining. 'Residual' fits the context perfectly as it aligns with the definition of what remains. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'Resident' refers to a person living in a specific place, C) 'Resistance' is the act of opposing or withstanding something, and D) 'Resin' is a sticky substance produced by plants.

• A. A close group of friends
• B. An extended family
• C. An engaged person
• D. A manager or director

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'coterie' refers to a small group of people who share similar interests or activities, typically a close-knit circle of friends. The other choices are incorrect. 'An extended family' refers to relatives beyond the nuclear family, 'an engaged person' is someone committed to be married, and 'a manager or director' are job roles unrelated to the context of the sentence.

4. If someone is disseminating information, what are they doing?

• A. Hiding it
• B. Broadcasting it
• C. Destroying it
• D. Withholding it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Broadcasting it.' Disseminating information means spreading or sharing it widely to reach a broader audience. Choice A, 'Hiding it,' is incorrect as disseminating involves making information known, not concealing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as disseminating means to distribute, not to eliminate. Choice D, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect because withholding information means keeping it back rather than sharing it openly.

5. What does Audible mean?

• A. Impossible to hear
• B. Able to be heard
• C. Visible

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Able to be heard.' Audible refers to something that can be heard. Choice A, 'Impossible to hear,' is the opposite of the meaning of audible. Choice C, 'Visible,' is unrelated as it pertains to sight, not hearing. Choice D, 'Silent,' is also not correct as it refers to the absence of sound, which is different from something being able to be heard.
