1. Identify the grammatically correct sentence.

• A. Which one do you want?
• B. Pick the one you want.
• C. Whose one do you want?
• D. Who do you want?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct sentence is 'Which one do you want?' Choice A is grammatically correct as it forms a question using 'which' to inquire about a specific choice. Choices B, C, and D contain errors in phrasing or grammar. Choice B includes a misspelling of 'want,' choice C uses 'whose' incorrectly, and choice D incorrectly combines 'who' and 'is' without proper context.

2. Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence: 'There is no real distinction between the two treatment protocols recommended online.'

• A. real
• B. among
• C. protocols
• D. online

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct word that should replace 'among' in the sentence is 'between' when referring to a distinction between two things. 'Among' is used when referring to more than two items or when the items are part of a group. In this context, 'between' is more appropriate as there are only two treatment protocols being compared.

3. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: 'Why did we ____ try so hard?'

• A. has to
• B. haven't
• C. had to
• D. have to

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Have to' is the correct choice as it fits the sentence structure. The sentence is in the past tense ('did we') and requires the infinitive form 'have to' to express the idea of necessity or obligation in the past. 'Has to' (Choice A) is incorrect as it is present tense, 'haven't' (Choice B) is a negative form and does not make sense in this context, and 'had to' (Choice C) would imply a past obligation that has already been fulfilled, which is not the intended meaning here.

4. Which of the following words or phrases fits best in the following sentence? If you ever ___________ at County Medical, you would know how grueling a shift there can be.

• A. work
• B. are working
• C. had worked
• D. working

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'work' (option A) is the most suitable choice for the sentence. The sentence is in the simple present tense and is discussing a general scenario or experience. The present simple tense is used to describe habits, routines, or general truths. Therefore, the word 'work' best fits in this context to indicate a general experience at County Medical without specifying a particular timeframe. Choices B, C, and D create incorrect tenses or imply specific past actions, which do not align with the intended meaning of the sentence.

5. He ___________ football games.

• A. Never almost attends
• B. Almost attends never
• C. Attends almost never
• D. Almost never attends

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Almost never attends.' In English, adverbs like 'almost' usually come before the main verb in a sentence. In this case, the adverb 'almost' should precede the verb 'attends.' Therefore, the correct word order is 'Almost never attends,' indicating that he rarely goes to football games. Choices A, B, and C have incorrect word order for the adverb 'almost' in relation to the verb 'attends,' making them grammatically incorrect and not conveying the intended meaning.
