Everyone thought that was the ........................ test of the whole course.
- A. Most easy
- B. Easiest
- C. Easy
- D. Most easy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the superlative form 'easiest' should be used to compare the test to all other tests in the course. 'Most easiest' is incorrect because 'easiest' already implies the highest degree of ease. 'Easy' is incorrect as it is not a comparative form. 'Most easy' is also incorrect as it does not convey the comparison needed in the context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Easiest.'

Which word from the following sentence is a noun?
The blue bird flew across the sky
- A. Across
- B. Flew
- C. Bird
- D. Blue
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Bird.' A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea. In this sentence, 'Bird' is the only word that represents a thing, making it the noun. 'Across' is a preposition indicating location or direction, 'Flew' is a verb showing action, and 'Blue' is an adjective describing the color of the bird. Therefore, 'Bird' is the noun in the sentence.
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: A child is not yet old enough to know what is healthy for.
- A. him or her
- B. them
- C. it
- D. she or he
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'him or her.' When referring to a singular noun of unspecified gender like 'a child,' it is grammatically correct to use 'him or her' to encompass both genders. This choice ensures inclusivity and accuracy in the sentence. Using 'them' as a singular pronoun is not grammatically correct in this context. 'It' is typically used for inanimate objects or animals, not for people. 'She or he' is less commonly used compared to 'him or her' for gender neutrality in this context.
