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 adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

3. Which verb form best completes the sentence?

• A. Going
• B. Go
• C. Have
• D. Having

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Having.' In the sentence 'I am looking forward to having my birthday party next week,' 'having' is the correct present participle form of the verb 'have' to indicate an anticipated event. Choice A 'Going' is incorrect as it does not match the structure of the sentence. Choice B 'Go' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not fit grammatically. Choice C 'Have' is incorrect as it is the base form and does not convey the future action in the sentence.

4. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. He made a posthumous donation to the clinic.

• A. Generous
• B. Immense
• C. Postmortem
• D. Time-honored

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'posthumous' in this sentence means occurring or coming into effect after the person's death. It is related to the word 'postmortem,' which also refers to events or actions happening after death. Given the context of the sentence, the most suitable meaning is 'postmortem.' Choice A, 'generous,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'posthumous' in the sentence. Choice B, 'immense,' is unrelated to the concept of something happening after a person's death. Choice D, 'time-honored,' is also not synonymous with 'posthumous' and does not fit the context of the sentence.

5. What is the meaning of Collusion?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Separation
• D. Rejection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Conspiracy.' Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. Choice A, 'Cooperation,' is incorrect as collusion implies a deceptive or dishonest agreement, not a genuine cooperation. Choice C, 'Separation,' is incorrect as it denotes the opposite of collusion, which involves working together secretly. Choice D, 'Rejection,' is unrelated to collusion, which involves secret cooperation for deceptive purposes.
