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. What is the correct plural of century?

• A. Centurys
• B. Centures
• C. Centuries
• D. Centuryies

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct plural of 'century' is 'centuries'. In English, to form the plural of most nouns ending in -y, you change the -y to -ies. Choice A, 'Centurys', is incorrect because it does not follow this rule. Choice B, 'Centures', is also incorrect as it does not provide the correct plural form. Choice D, 'Centuryies', is a completely incorrect and non-standard plural form of 'century'. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Centuries'.

3. What type of error occurs in the sentence 'Everyone knew who the culprit was, except for me'?

• A. Subject-verb agreement
• B. Misplaced modifier
• C. Dangling participle
• D. Pronoun-antecedent agreement

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The error in the sentence is a misplaced modifier. The phrase 'except for me' should ideally modify 'me,' but it is incorrectly placed after 'knew,' leading to confusion about who the exception applies to. 'Subject-verb agreement' is incorrect as there is no disagreement between the subject and the verb. 'Dangling participle' is incorrect as there are no dangling participles in the sentence. 'Pronoun-antecedent agreement' is incorrect as the pronoun 'me' correctly refers to the antecedent 'I'; the issue lies with the placement of the modifier.

4. Which of the following movie titles contains a pronoun?

• A. Rear Window
• B. North by Northwest
• C. The Trouble with Harry
• D. The Man Who Knew Too Much

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The title "The Man Who Knew Too Much" contains the pronoun "who."

5. If the word antibacterial describes a substance that kills bacteria, you can infer that the prefix anti-means:

• A. Original to
• B. Against
• C. Before
• D. Under

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Against.' The prefix 'anti-' means 'against,' as seen in the word 'antibacterial,' which denotes something that acts against bacteria. Choice A, 'Original to,' is incorrect as the prefix 'anti-' does not imply 'original to.' Choice C, 'Before,' is incorrect as 'anti-' does not signify 'before' but rather 'against.' Choice D, 'Under,' is also incorrect as 'anti-' does not convey the idea of being 'under' but rather 'against' in this context.
