1. Which word is most closely associated with the adjective 'meticulous'?

• A. careless
• B. precise
• C. indifferent
• D. enthusiastic

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'meticulous' is synonymous with being very careful and detail-oriented. It describes someone who pays close attention to detail and is thorough in their work. 'Precise' is the best choice among the options as it conveys accuracy and exactness, which align with the nature of someone who is meticulous. Choice A, 'careless,' is the opposite of meticulous, indicating a lack of attention to detail. Choice C, 'indifferent,' suggests a lack of interest or concern, which is not related to being meticulous. Choice D, 'enthusiastic,' conveys a sense of excitement and passion rather than the precision and carefulness associated with being meticulous.

2. What is the noun phrase in the following sentence?

• A. Puppy
• B. Charlotte
• C. German shepherd puppy
• D. Charlotte's new German shepherd puppy

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Charlotte's new German shepherd puppy.' A noun phrase is a group of words centered around a noun that functions as a subject, object, or complement within a sentence. In this sentence, 'Charlotte's new German shepherd puppy' is a noun phrase as it consists of multiple words ('Charlotte's,' 'new,' 'German shepherd,' 'puppy') and it serves as the subject of the sentence. Choice A, 'Puppy,' is not a complete noun phrase as it lacks the additional descriptors. Choice B, 'Charlotte,' is a proper noun and not a noun phrase. Choice C, 'German shepherd puppy,' is a noun phrase, but it does not include all the elements present in the complete noun phrase 'Charlotte's new German shepherd puppy.' Therefore, 'Charlotte's new German shepherd puppy' is the correct noun phrase in this sentence.

• B. Social media is the only way to communicate online.
• C. The internet has transformed communication globally.

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage highlights how the internet and social media have revolutionized communication globally, enabling instant connections and sharing of information on a global scale. It emphasizes the transformative impact of these technologies on communication, not just entertainment or the complexity of technology. Choice A is incorrect as the passage focuses on communication, not entertainment. Choice B is incorrect as it oversimplifies the role of social media in communication. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically address the increasing complexity of technology.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct spelling is 'indispensable,' which means absolutely necessary. In this context, it implies that his skill on the soccer field is crucial and vital for the team's success.

• A. Explorer
