1. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.

2. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

• A. Their
• B. Going
• C. They're
• D. There

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.

3. Select the word that means 'an undesired problem that is the result of some other event.'

• A. Complication
• B. Complement
• C. Procedures
• D. Implemented

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Complication.' A complication refers to a secondary issue or difficulty that arises unexpectedly due to another event. It represents an undesired outcome. Choice 'B: Complement' is incorrect as it means something that enhances or completes, not an undesired problem. Choice 'C: Procedures' is incorrect as it refers to methods or steps, not an undesired problem. Choice 'D: Implemented' is incorrect as it means carried out, not an undesired problem.

4. What does Consistency refer to?

• A. Color of a fluid
• B. Degree of viscosity, how thick or thin a fluid is
• C. Taste of a fluid
• D. Smell of a fluid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Consistency refers to the degree of viscosity of a fluid, indicating how thick or thin it is. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow, and it determines its consistency. Choices A, color, C, taste, and D, smell, are not related to consistency. Color, taste, and smell are sensory attributes that do not define the physical property of consistency in fluids.

5. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.
