  1. Choose the option that best replaces the underlined part: 'She was ___ by the complexity of the problem that she gave up.'

    Answer: so overwhelmed

    'So...that' is the correct correlative structure for expressing cause and effect with an adjective.

  2. What does the word 'VERBOSE' mean?

    Answer: Using more words than necessary

    Verbose means using or containing more words than needed; overly wordy.

  3. Identify the figure of speech: 'The classroom was a zoo during the substitute's lesson.'

    Answer: Metaphor

    This is a metaphor because it directly equates the classroom to a zoo without using 'like' or 'as.'

  4. Choose the correctly spelt word.

    Answer: Accommodate

    'Accommodate' is spelled with double 'c' and double 'm,' making it a commonly misspelled word.

  5. Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: 'She has been working on this project _____ three months.'

    Answer: for

    'For' is used with a period of time (three months), while 'since' is used with a specific point in time.

  6. Which word correctly completes the analogy? DOCTOR : PATIENT :: TEACHER : _____

    Answer: Student

    A doctor serves a patient; similarly, a teacher serves a student — both are professional-client relationships.

  7. Read and infer: 'He checked his watch repeatedly and paced the floor nervously.' What can be inferred?

    Answer: He was anxious and waiting for something.

    Checking the watch repeatedly and pacing nervously are classic behavioral signs of anxiety and anticipation.
