Question 1

Choose the best word to complete the blank.

For _______, shoulder surgery is an excruciating procedure. The recovery process takes longer than the actual procedure.

Accepted Answer

endure, worse

Answer

"Endure, worse" is correct because the base verb "endure" fits the phrase (one must endure a painful procedure) and "worse" is the proper comparative form. "Worser" is not a real word, and "endures/endured" do not agree grammatically with the sentence structure.

Question 2

Daunting means:

Accepted Answer

Discouraging

Answer

"Daunting" means discouraging, describing something so difficult it intimidates or disheartens a person. The other options—extensive, developed, and charming—do not capture the sense of an overwhelming challenge.

Question 3

Which of the following statements is the most grammatically and clearly written?

Accepted Answer

When a young child does not like to be touched, autism should be considered

Answer

"When a young child does not like to be touched, autism should be considered" is correct because it is a complete, clear sentence with proper structure and no misplaced modifiers. The other options are sentence fragments or contain illogical phrasing, such as suggesting autism itself dislikes being touched.

Question 4

Shell invested $36 million in a transport tanker and an oil refinery. The refinery came with twice the cost of the tanker. To what extent did Shell finance the refinery?

Accepted Answer

$24 million

Answer

Let the tanker cost x; the refinery costs 2x, so x + 2x = $36 million, giving x = $12 million. The refinery therefore cost 2 × $12 million = $24 million.

Question 5

Which of the following witness statements best describes the suspect, based only on the information provided below?

Accepted Answer

tanned complexion, red hair with grey strands, wearing a brown jacket, beige pants and black shoes, female white 5’6, 125 lbs,.

Answer

The correct statement is the one that includes every detail given in the source description—white female, tanned complexion, red hair with grey strands, brown jacket, beige pants, black shoes, 5'6", 125 lbs—with no changes. The other options alter or omit facts (black sandals instead of shoes, Hispanic instead of white, or wrong height/weight), so they do not match the provided information.
