Which of the following words in the sentence is an adverb? We should go outside.
- A. We
- B. should
- C. go
- D. outside
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'outside' is the adverb in the sentence. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'outside' modifies the verb 'go' by indicating the location where the action is taking place. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'We' is a pronoun, 'should' is a modal verb, and 'go' is the main verb in the sentence, none of which function as adverbs.

Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of the word 'bibliophile'?
- A. A person who collects books
- B. An index at the back of a book
- C. A compiled list of different books
- D. A place where books are kept
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The term 'bibliophile' is derived from the Greek words 'biblio' meaning books and 'phile' meaning lover or enthusiast. Therefore, a 'bibliophile' refers to a person who collects or has a great love of books. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'bibliophile.' An index at the back of a book is called a 'bibliography,' a compiled list of different books is a 'catalog,' and a place where books are kept is a 'library,' not a 'bibliophile.'
Please don't take what I said so personally. Which of the following parts of speech is 'personally' as used above?
- A. Article
- B. Adjective
- C. Verb
- D. Adverb
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence, 'personally' is modifying the verb 'take,' indicating how the action is done. Adverbs often answer questions like how, when, where, and to what extent. 'Personally' in this context is an adverb, making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as 'personally' does not function as an article (a, an, the), adjective (describing a noun), or verb (action word) in this sentence.
In the sentence, 'The receptionist explained that we would be the next to see the doctor,' which of the following is the complete predicate?
- A. explained that we would be the next to see the doctor
- B. next to see the doctor
- C. explained that we would be next
- D. see the doctor
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The complete predicate is 'explained that we would be the next to see the doctor.' In a sentence, the complete predicate includes the main verb (explained) and all the words that complete its meaning (that we would be the next to see the doctor). Choices B, C, and D do not constitute the complete predicate as they do not include the main verb 'explained' and all associated words that complete its meaning.
Select the correct words to complete the following sentence: I have ____________ due tomorrow.
- A. many homework
- B. many homeworks
- C. a lot of homework
- D. a lot of homeworks
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: a lot of homework'. In this case, 'homework' is an uncountable noun, so it does not take a plural form like 'homeworks'. The phrase 'a lot of' is used to quantify uncountable nouns, making it the appropriate choice in this context. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'homework' should not be pluralized, and the phrase 'many' is not suitable for uncountable nouns.
Brady had never been skiing before. She took to the slopes like a natural.
- A. Unless
- B. But
- C. Therefore
- D. Before
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'But.' In this context, 'But' is a conjunction that correctly connects the two independent clauses, indicating a contrast. The first sentence states that Brady had never skied before, while the second sentence reveals that she performed well on the slopes, showing a surprising contrast to her lack of experience. 'Unless' implies a condition that needs to be met for a particular situation, which is not relevant here. 'Therefore' indicates a conclusion or result, which does not fit the context of the contrasting statements. 'Before' is a preposition that doesn't serve the purpose of connecting the two ideas presented in the sentences.
