1. Which word(s) in the following sentence should be capitalized? 'She asked, Do you like Indian food?'

• A. She and do
• B. Do and Indian
• C. She and Indian
• D. She, do, and Indian

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the given sentence, the words that should be capitalized are 'She,' 'do,' and 'Indian.' 'She' needs to be capitalized as it is the pronoun referring to a person, 'do' should be capitalized as it is the beginning of a question, and 'Indian' should be capitalized as it refers to a specific nationality or culture. Choice A is incorrect as 'do' is missing. Choice B is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Choice C is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

2. Which of the following is an example of a prepositional phrase?

• A. After the game
• B. Running fast
• C. She sings
• D. Can you help me?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'After the game.' A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object, describing a relationship in time, location, or direction. In this case, 'After' is the preposition, and 'the game' is its object, making it a prepositional phrase. Choices B, C, and D do not contain prepositional phrases. Choice B, 'Running fast,' is a gerund phrase with an adverb modifying a verb. Choice C, 'She sings,' is a subject-verb sentence construction. Choice D, 'Can you help me?' is an interrogative sentence asking for assistance.

3. A hundred years ago, automobiles were rare, but now cars are ubiquitous. However, she doesn't know what the word ubiquitous means. Which key context clue is essential to decipher the word's meaning?

• A. Ago
• B. Cars
• C. Now
• D. Rare

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Rare.' In the sentence, it is mentioned that 'a hundred years ago, automobiles were rare,' which provides the context that the opposite of rare would mean something very common, thus helping to decipher the meaning of 'ubiquitous.' Choice A, 'Ago,' refers to a time frame and doesn't directly provide a contrast to 'ubiquitous.' Choice B, 'Cars,' is mentioned in both parts of the sentence and does not help in defining 'ubiquitous.' Choice C, 'Now,' signifies the current time but doesn't contrast with 'ubiquitous' to aid in its understanding.

4. Which of the following defines the word 'unilateral'?

• A. Performed by one person
• B. Performed by many people
• C. Performed with precision
• D. Performed according to rules

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Performed by one person.' 'Unilateral' means something done by one person or group without the agreement of another. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests the opposite of what 'unilateral' means. Choice C is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'unilateral.' Choice D is incorrect as it is not directly related to the definition of 'unilateral.'

5. Which of the following words is written in the correct plural form?

• A. oxen
• B. styles
• C. monarchies
• D. clutches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: styles.' 'Styles' is the correct plural form of 'style.' 'Oxes' in choice A is incorrect; the plural of 'ox' is 'oxen.' 'Monarchys' in choice C is incorrect; the correct plural form of 'monarchy' is 'monarchies.' 'Clutchs' in choice D is incorrect; the correct plural form of 'clutch' is 'clutches.' Therefore, 'styles' is the only word written in the correct plural form among the choices provided.
