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. The mailperson's job is to put the __________ in every mailbox on the block.

• A. Envelopes
• B. Mail
• C. Block
• D. Every

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'Envelopes' is the correct choice as it refers to the items (envelopes) that the mailperson is responsible for delivering. The other choices are incorrect: 'Mail' (Choice B) is too general and does not specify the items to be delivered, 'Block' (Choice C) is the location and does not make sense in the context of delivering mail, and 'Every' (Choice D) is an adjective that does not complete the sentence logically.

3. When a person finds ________________ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.

• A. Oneself
• B. Yourself
• C. Themselves
• D. Itself

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, 'Oneself' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring back to the singular subject 'a person.' It is important to match the reflexive pronoun with the singular noun. 'Yourself' and 'Themselves' are plural forms and do not agree with the singular subject 'a person.' 'Itself' is used for inanimate objects, not for people. Therefore, 'Oneself' is the most suitable choice in this context.

4. If they _________ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach.

• A. Know
• B. Knew
• C. Had known
• D. Were knowing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Had known.' In this sentence, the structure is a third conditional, which is used for unreal situations in the past. 'Had known' is the correct past perfect form that matches the conditional structure. It indicates that if they had possessed the knowledge about the bad weather in advance, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach. Options A, B, and D do not correctly fit the past perfect tense required in this context. 'Know' (Option A) is present tense, 'Knew' (Option B) is simple past tense, and 'Were knowing' (Option D) is incorrect and does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence in the context of a third conditional.

5. 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.
