1. Which sentence uses the pronoun 'they' correctly?

• A. They is going to the park later today.
• B. Sarah and John said they would come to the party.
• C. The teacher said they needs to finish the report.
• D. They enjoys reading books in their free time.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A. "They" should be used with "are," not "is." B. Correct use of "they" for multiple people (Sarah and John). C. "They" should not be paired with "needs." D. "They" should be used with "enjoy," not "enjoys."

2. The teacher shared several apothegms with the class, hoping that the short, wise sayings would inspire thoughtful discussions.

• A. instructions
• B. questions
• C. sayings
• D. lectures

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, apothegms refers to short, wise sayings meant to convey wisdom or provoke thought. Apothegms are concise and insightful, serving as nuggets of wisdom. The term 'instructions' implies a set of directions or guidelines, not reflective of the nature of apothegms. 'Questions' are queries seeking information or answers, not synonymous with wise sayings. 'Lectures' are formal presentations or speeches, which are more extensive and detailed compared to the concise nature of apothegms.

3. He had to fill out a health history ____ before seeing the doctor.

• A. questionnaire
• B. questionaire
• C. questionnare
• D. questionairre

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'questionnaire.' A questionnaire is a set of questions used for gathering information. The incorrect choices B, C, and D have misspellings of the word 'questionnaire.' 'Questionaire,' 'questionnare,' and 'questionairre' are not correct spellings and may lead to confusion or misunderstanding. It is essential to use the correct spelling to ensure clear communication in healthcare settings.

4. What is the complete subject in the sentence: Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job was that it would be full-time and would offer benefits?

• A. Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job
• B. Sandra’s principal reason
• C. Sandra’s principal
• D. Sandra

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The complete subject in a sentence includes all the words that describe the main focus of the sentence. In this case, the complete subject is "Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job" as it encompasses all the relevant details about Sandra and her reason for selecting the job. Choice A is the correct answer because it provides the most comprehensive and specific information, making it the complete subject. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not include all the necessary elements to form the complete subject and do not convey the full context of the sentence.

5. Which of the following words is a synonym for 'happy'?

• A. Sad
• B. Joyful
• C. Angry
• D. Tired

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Joyful.' 'Joyful' is a synonym for 'happy' as both words convey feelings of pleasure, contentment, and delight. Choice 'A: Sad' is incorrect as it is an antonym of 'happy,' representing feelings of sorrow or unhappiness. 'Angry' in choice 'C' and 'Tired' in choice 'D' are also incorrect as they represent different emotional states and do not share the same meaning as 'happy.'
