1. What is the most likely context of the following conversation: 'Yup, you too... hey wait, what are you up to tonight, anyways?'

• A. A boss is asking an employee about their schedule to see if they can work late.
• B. A speaker is practicing a speech for a debate about working overtime.
• C. A friend is asking another friend about their plans for the evening.
• D. An investigator is discussing research on acceptable work schedules.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The informal tone and casual language, such as 'hey wait' and 'what are you up to tonight, anyways?' suggest that the speaker is a friend inquiring about the plans of another friend. This type of conversation is typical among peers and not in a professional setting, ruling out choices A and D. Choice B is incorrect because there is no indication of a debate or formal speech practice in the conversation.

2. Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: Our family _____________ staying home for the holidays this year.

• A. is
• B. be
• C. am
• D. are

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: is.' In the sentence, 'Our family is staying home for the holidays this year,' the singular collective noun 'family' requires a singular verb to maintain subject-verb agreement. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to match with 'family.' Choice B 'be' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not agree with the subject 'family.' Choice C 'am' is incorrect as it is a first-person singular form of the verb 'to be,' which does not align with the subject 'family.' Choice D 'are' is incorrect as it is a plural form of the verb and does not match with the singular subject 'family.'

3. What is the correct way to write "25th anniversary" as a word?

• A. Twenty-fiveth anniversary
• B. Twenty Fiveth Anniversary
• C. Twenty fifth anniversary
• D. twenty-fifth anniversary

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Ordinals (numbers with "th", "st", "nd", etc.) are generally written as words when used before nouns. Option (d) is correct.

4. 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.

5. The glittering lights in the garden were meant to entrance the guests as they arrived. What is the meaning of the homograph 'entrance' as used in the sentence above?

• A. enter
• B. passage
• C. opportunity
• D. enchant

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, 'entrance' is used as a verb meaning to enchant or captivate. The glittering lights were intended to captivate or charm the guests as they arrived, not to physically enter them (choice A), provide a passage (choice B), or present an opportunity (choice C). Therefore, the correct answer is 'enchant.'
