1. Which word is misspelled?

• A. accommodate
• B. acquiesce
• C. circumstance
• D. indelible

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The word 'circumstance' is misspelled in the given choices. 'Accommodate,' 'acquiesce,' and 'indelible' are spelled correctly. It is important to pay attention to the spelling of words to ensure clear and accurate communication. 'Circumstance' is a common word, but in this context, it is intentionally misspelled to test your attention to detail.

2. What specific task should you perform if you are the last one to leave the office?

• A. Ensure you are the last one to leave the office.
• B. Check to see that the coffee maker in the breakroom is unplugged.
• C. We appreciate your cooperation.
• D. This will make life easier for everyone.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Check to see that the coffee maker in the breakroom is unplugged.' This task is explicitly mentioned in the memo as one of the tasks to be performed when leaving the office. Choices A, C, and D are not specific tasks listed in the memo and do not directly relate to the instructions provided. Therefore, they are incorrect choices. It is essential to pay attention to the specific details mentioned in the instructions to identify the correct task to perform.

3. 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.

• A. That was amazing," She said. "I can't believe we almost missed it."
• B. "That was amazing," she said; "I can't believe we almost missed it."
• C. "That was amazing." She said. "I can't believe we almost missed it."
• D. "That was amazing," she said. "I can't believe we almost missed it."

5. Identify the main clause in the sentence: 'Although she was tired, she finished her work on time.'

• A. Although she was tired
• B. She was tired
• C. She finished her work on time
• D. Finished her work on time

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The main clause is the independent clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. In this sentence, 'She finished her work on time' is the main clause because it expresses a complete thought independently. Choices A and B are subordinate clauses as they cannot stand alone as complete sentences. Choice D lacks the subject 'she,' making it incomplete and not a main clause.
