1. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

2. Which term is descriptive of a small child just learning to walk?

• A. Obese
• B. Toddler
• C. Geriatric
• D. Hale

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Toddler.' A toddler is a young child typically between the ages of one and three who is just learning to walk. 'Obese' (choice A) refers to excess body fat, 'Geriatric' (choice C) pertains to elderly individuals, and 'Hale' (choice D) means strong and healthy, none of which are descriptive of a small child learning to walk.

3. What must a homeowner do to a section of a fence that is falling apart?

• A. Buttress
• B. Degrade
• C. Hinder
• D. Flounder

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To buttress a fence means to reinforce or support it, typically by adding extra material or structures to prevent it from falling apart. In this scenario, the homeowner needs to strengthen the deteriorating section of the fence, making 'buttress' the correct answer. 'Degrade' means to diminish in quality, which is the opposite of what the homeowner should do. 'Hinder' means to create obstacles or difficulties, not a solution for the falling fence. 'Flounder' means to struggle or fail, which is not related to repairing the fence.

4. Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."

• A. Brak
• B. Break
• C. Brick
• D. Brake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "Break." In this context, 'break' is the appropriate word as it means to damage or shatter something. The other choices are incorrect: 'Brak' is a misspelling, 'Brick' is unrelated to the context of the sentence, and 'Brake' refers to a device used to slow down or stop movement, which is not relevant to carrying a bottle to the table.

5. What does concave mean?

• A. Rounded inward
• B. Rounded outward
• C. Straight
• D. Flat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Concave means rounded inward. When something is concave, it curves inwards like the interior of a bowl. Choice B, 'Rounded outward,' is incorrect as this describes a convex shape, not concave. Choice C, 'Straight,' is incorrect as concave refers to a curved shape, not a straight one. Choice D, 'Flat,' is also incorrect as it does not describe the inward curve characteristic of concave shapes.
