1. You _________ on your final exam.

• A. Worked
• B. Forgot
• C. Did well
• D. Done good

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Did well.' This phrase is commonly used to describe performance on an exam. 'Worked' does not fit the context of exam performance. 'Forgot' is incorrect as it implies forgetting something related to the exam. 'Done good' is grammatically incorrect; the correct form is 'done well.' Therefore, 'Did well' is the most appropriate choice in this context.

2. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Please give the folder to whoever replies to your page.

• A. give
• B. envelope
• C. whoever
• D. replies

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'envelope' is used incorrectly in the sentence. The correct word should be 'folder,' as mentioned in the original sentence. An envelope is a flat paper container for a letter or documents, while a folder is a folded cover for papers or documents. 'Give,' 'whoever,' and 'replies' are all used appropriately in the sentence, so they are not the incorrect words.

3. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: 'These days, you can’t ____ learning how to use a computer.'

• A. not
• B. evading
• C. despite
• D. avoid

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'avoid.' The sentence requires a verb that means to stay away from something, making 'avoid' the appropriate choice. 'Evading' means avoiding or escaping something by deceit or cleverness, which is not the intended meaning here. 'Despite' is a preposition showing contrast, and 'not' is an adverb negating a verb or making it negative, so they do not fit the sentence structure.

4. Select the phrase or clause that is misplaced in the following sentence: I did not see the open carton of orange juice on the shelf standing with the refrigerator door open.

• A. I did not see
• B. of orange juice
• C. on the shelf
• D. standing with the refrigerator door open

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The phrase 'standing with the refrigerator door open' is misplaced in the sentence as it disrupts the flow. It seems to modify 'shelf,' but it actually relates to the subject's action. Placing it after 'orange juice' would enhance clarity and conciseness. Choice A, 'I did not see,' is the introductory part of the sentence and is correctly placed. Choices B and C, 'of orange juice' and 'on the shelf,' provide necessary information and are correctly positioned in relation to the main subject and verb.

5. Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Dr. Johnson had a serious look when he _________.

• A. spoke to the patient’s parents
• B. is speaking to the patient’s parents
• C. will speak to the patient’s parents
• D. has spoken to the patient’s parents

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A - spoke to the patient’s parents.' In this sentence, the past tense 'spoke' should be used to match the past tense 'had,' indicating an action that already took place. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they use present or future tenses, which do not match the past tense 'had' in the sentence.
