1. Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?

• A. having one color
• B. having many parts
• C. having a lot of time
• D. having too much heat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'monochromatic' refers to something that has only one color. Choice A, 'having one color,' is the correct description for monochromatic. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'monochromatic' does not mean 'having many parts,' 'having a lot of time,' or 'having too much heat.' Monochromatic specifically conveys the idea of consisting of or using only one color, making Choice A the correct answer.

2. Which sentence uses the past perfect tense correctly?

• A. By the time I arrived, the party had already begun.
• B. I wish I had studied harder for the exam.
• C. We will have finished the project by Monday.
• D. She had been waiting for hours before he finally showed up.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A correctly uses the past perfect tense to show an action that was completed before another past action. In this sentence, 'the party had already begun' indicates that the party started before 'I arrived.' This structure is typical of the past perfect tense. Choice B uses the past perfect tense but does not demonstrate the sequence of actions in the past. Choice C uses the future perfect tense, indicating completion of an action by a future time. Choice D uses the past perfect continuous tense, not the simple past perfect tense required by the question.

3. A student wants to rewrite the following sentence: Entrepreneurs use their ideas to make money. He wants to use the word money as a verb, but he isn’t sure which word ending to use. What is the appropriate suffix to add to money to complete the following sentence? Entrepreneurs __________ their ideas.

• A. –ize
• B. –ical
• C. –en
• D. –ful

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: '-ize'. When '–ize' is added to 'money', it forms the word 'monetize'. 'Monetize' means to turn something into money or profit. Therefore, the sentence should read: 'Entrepreneurs monetize their ideas,' which accurately conveys the intended meaning of using ideas to generate profit. Choice B, '–ical', is incorrect as it does not create a verb from 'money'. Choices C and D, '–en' and '–ful', are also incorrect as they do not form a verb related to 'money' in the context of the sentence.

4. What verb tense is used in the underlined words in the following sentence? 'The doctor prescribed medicine after my son had been sick for four days.'

• A. Past perfect
• B. Present perfect
• C. Past progressive
• D. Present progressive

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Past perfect.' In the sentence, 'had been sick' is in the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is formed with 'had' + the past participle of the main verb. In this sentence, it indicates an action that was completed before another past action. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the sentence does not contain the present perfect, past progressive, or present progressive tenses as indicated by the underlined words. The present perfect tense would require 'has' or 'have' + past participle, the past progressive would involve 'was' or 'were' + present participle, and the present progressive would include 'am', 'is', or 'are' + present participle, none of which are present in the sentence.

5. Based on an examination of word parts, which of the following words means 'above the kidney'?

• A. Interrenal
• B. Subrenal
• C. Intrarenal
• D. Suprarenal

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Suprarenal.' Breaking down the word parts, 'supra-' means above, and '-renal' pertains to the kidney. Therefore, 'Suprarenal' means above the kidney. Choice A, 'Interrenal,' is incorrect as 'inter-' means between or among. Choice B, 'Subrenal,' is incorrect as 'sub-' means below. Choice C, 'Intrarenal,' is incorrect as 'intra-' means within or inside.
