1. Which verb tense is most appropriate to complete this sentence: 'By next week, I _____ the project'?

• A. I will be finishing
• B. I will have finished
• C. I am finishing
• D. I would finish

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is option B, 'I will have finished'. This choice correctly expresses a future event (finishing the project) that will be completed before another future point in time (next week). The future perfect tense 'will have finished' is used to show an action that will be completed before a specified future time. Choice A, 'I will be finishing', is incorrect as it indicates an ongoing action that will still be in progress by next week, which is not the intended meaning. Choice C, 'I am finishing', is incorrect as it indicates a present action that is ongoing, not a future event. Choice D, 'I would finish', is incorrect as 'would' is used for hypothetical situations or polite requests, which is not suitable in this context of a future project completion.

2. What does the prefix circum- mean in the word circumference?

• A. Beyond
• B. After
• C. Around
• D. Before

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'circum-' means 'around,' which is the definition most related to 'circumference.' Circumference refers to the boundary that surrounds a circular shape. Choice A, 'Beyond,' is incorrect as it implies going further or exceeding a boundary. Choice B, 'After,' is not related to the concept of surrounding or encircling. Choice D, 'Before,' is also unrelated and denotes something occurring prior to a specific time or event.

3. Which of the following pieces of information would NOT support a thesis about the importance of hands-on learning in early education?

• A. Building structures with blocks helps develop fine-motor skills.
• B. Using modeling clay helps strengthen small finger and hand muscles.
• C. Learning to take good notes helps young students become better listeners.
• D. Hopscotch helps children develop coordination and counting skills.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Taking good notes is not a hands-on activity; it is a cognitive skill that does not involve physical interaction or manipulation. Choices A, B, and D all involve physical activities that directly engage a child's hands and body, supporting the thesis about the importance of hands-on learning in early education. Building structures with blocks, using modeling clay, and playing hopscotch all require physical manipulation and engagement, which are key aspects of hands-on learning.

4. Select a verb that correctly completes the following sentence: ____________ not worry about it.

• A. Is
• B. Do
• C. You
• D. Was

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Do.' In the given sentence, the imperative form is used to give a command or instruction. The imperative form of the verb 'to do' is 'do,' which is commonly used in negative commands like 'Do not worry about it.' Choices 'A: Is,' 'C: You,' and 'D: Was' do not fit grammatically or contextually in completing the sentence as they are not imperative verbs.

5. Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?

• A. Biology
• B. Philanthropy
• C. Anthropomorphism
• D. Anthropology

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anthropology.' This term is derived from the Greek words 'anthropos' meaning 'human' and 'logos' meaning 'study.' Therefore, Anthropology refers to the study of humans. Choice A, 'Biology,' is the study of living organisms, not specifically focused on humans. Choice B, 'Philanthropy,' refers to the practice of giving and helping others. Choice C, 'Anthropomorphism,' is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities.
