Question 1

Choose the correct article: '___ honest man is hard to find.'

Accepted Answer

An

Answer

'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Although 'honest' starts with 'h', the 'h' is silent, so it sounds like 'onest' — requiring 'an'.

Question 2

Which sentence is written in passive voice?

Accepted Answer

The meal was cooked by the chef.

Answer

Passive voice places the object of the action as the subject. 'The meal was cooked by the chef' follows the passive structure: subject + was/were + past participle.

Question 3

What is the main idea of a paragraph called?

Accepted Answer

Topic sentence

Answer

The topic sentence states the main idea of a paragraph. All other sentences in the paragraph support or elaborate on this central idea.

Question 4

Select the correct comparative form: 'This exam is ___ than the last one.'

Accepted Answer

more difficult

Answer

'Difficult' is a multi-syllable adjective, so the comparative form uses 'more' before it: 'more difficult'. We do not add '-er' to long adjectives.

Question 5

Which word is a synonym for 'abundant'?

Accepted Answer

Plentiful

Answer

'Abundant' means existing in large quantities. 'Plentiful' is a direct synonym, also meaning available in large amounts.
