Question 1

Choose the correct word to complete the sentence:
The committee has __________ to the new policy.

Accepted Answer

adapted

Answer

The correct word to complete the sentence is 'adapted'. 'Adapted to' means to adjust or modify oneself or one's practices to suit a new condition or environment. In this context, the committee has made necessary changes or adjustments in its operations or approach to align with the requirements or implications of the new policy, signifying a proactive response to integrate it effectively.

Question 2

Identify the error in the following sentence:
Each of the students have completed their assignments

Accepted Answer

have

Answer

The error in the sentence is 'have'. The subject of the sentence is 'Each', which is a singular pronoun. Therefore, the verb must also be singular to maintain subject-verb agreement. The correct verb form should be 'has', making the sentence: 'Each of the students has completed their assignments'.

Question 3

Select the word that best fits the context:
The __________ of the project was widely appreciated by the community.

Accepted Answer

completion

Answer

The word that best fits the context is 'completion'. The sentence describes something that was widely appreciated by the community, and the 'completion' of a project refers to its successful finishing. This implies that the project was brought to a successful end, which is a commendable achievement.

Question 4

Choose the word that is most opposite in meaning to "mitigate"

Accepted Answer

intensify

Answer

The word most opposite in meaning to 'mitigate' is 'intensify'. 'Mitigate' means to make something less severe, serious, or painful. Therefore, its antonym would be a word that means to make something stronger, more severe, or more intense, which is precisely what 'intensify' means.

Question 5

Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition:
She is proficient __________ multiple languages.

Accepted Answer

in

Answer

The appropriate preposition to complete the sentence is 'in'. The phrase 'proficient in' is the standard idiomatic expression used to indicate skill or expertise in a particular subject, language, or area. Therefore, 'She is proficient in multiple languages' correctly conveys her skill with languages.
