Nokea
Which version of the sentence is correct grammatically?
- A. I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.
- B. I had saw her before, but yesterday was the first time I seen her indoors.
- C. I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I seen her indoors.
- D. I had saw her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct sentence is: 'I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.' In this sentence, the correct past participle form of 'see' is used, which is 'seen' in the past perfect tense ('I had seen') and 'saw' in the simple past tense ('I saw'). Choices B, C, and D contain incorrect past participle and past tense forms of the verb 'see,' making them grammatically incorrect. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct past participle 'seen' and the correct simple past tense 'saw.' Therefore, it is the grammatically correct version of the sentence.

"His ego was as big as the tallest mountain." This sentence is an example of which figure of speech?
- A. Hyperbole
- B. Idiom
- C. Simile
- D. Metaphor
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This sentence is an example of a simile because it compares 'his ego' to 'the tallest mountain' using the word 'as.' Similes use 'like' or 'as' to create a comparison, which is the case here. A metaphor, on the other hand, does not use 'like' or 'as' but instead states that one thing is another. Hyperbole involves exaggerated statements not meant to be taken literally, while idioms are expressions that have a figurative meaning different from the literal interpretation. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: Simile.'
What does the underlined word in the following sentence mean? 'The students' excitement about the beginning of summer vacation pervaded the whole classroom.'
- A. stood at attention
- B. spread throughout
- C. explained
- D. took note
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The underlined word 'pervaded' in the sentence means 'spread throughout.' In this context, it conveys that the excitement of the students was felt and noticed everywhere in the classroom. Choice A, 'stood at attention,' does not align with the meaning of 'pervaded.' Choice C, 'explained,' and choice D, 'took note,' are also unrelated to the concept of the excitement spreading throughout the entire classroom.
The words 'aerobics' and 'aeronautics' both have the prefix 'aero' in common. What does 'aero' mean?
- A. Light
- B. Speed
- C. Distance
- D. Air
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The prefix 'aero' is derived from the Greek word 'aēr,' which means air. In words like 'aerobics' and 'aeronautics,' the prefix 'aero' refers to air-related activities or concepts. Therefore, 'air' is the correct meaning of the prefix 'aero.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Light' does not relate to the prefix 'aero,' 'speed' and 'distance' are not associated with the concept of air as in 'aero,' making them incorrect answers.
Which of the following correctly completes the sentence? 'A childhood reading of Tales from Shakespeare permanently _____ Helene's interest in studying the Great Bard.'
- A. piqued
- B. peaked
- C. peked
- D. peeked
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The word 'piqued' means to stimulate or arouse interest or curiosity. In this context, the sentence is referring to Helene's interest in Shakespeare being stirred or awakened, which makes 'piqued' the correct word. Both 'peaked' and 'peeked' have different meanings (reaching the highest point and looking quickly, respectively) that do not fit the sentence. 'Peked' is not a valid word and does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Therefore, option 'A' is the correct choice.
What kinds of clauses does the following sentence contain? "Although Ted had an impressive education, he had little experience working with individuals, which made him less effective at relating to them."
- A. Two dependent clauses and one independent clause
- B. One dependent clause and two independent clauses
- C. Two independent clauses and no dependent clauses
- D. One dependent clause and one independent clause
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sentence consists of one dependent clause, 'Although Ted had an impressive education,' which introduces a condition. It also contains two independent clauses: 'he had little experience working with individuals,' which presents a fact, and 'which made him less effective at relating to them,' which provides additional information. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly identifies the number of independent and dependent clauses. Choice C is incorrect as it wrongly states that there are no dependent clauses in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the structure of the sentence.
