1. 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.

2. Which word(s) in the following sentence should be capitalized? 'She asked, Do you like Indian food?'

• A. She and do
• B. Do and Indian
• C. She and Indian
• D. She, do, and Indian

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the given sentence, the words that should be capitalized are 'She,' 'do,' and 'Indian.' 'She' needs to be capitalized as it is the pronoun referring to a person, 'do' should be capitalized as it is the beginning of a question, and 'Indian' should be capitalized as it refers to a specific nationality or culture. Choice A is incorrect as 'do' is missing. Choice B is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Choice C is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

3. Which word completes the sentence 'He was ____ by the unexpected turn of events.'?

• A. elated (joyful)
• B. bewildered (confused)
• C. vindicated (justified)
• D. apathetic (uninterested)

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence, 'He was bewildered by the unexpected turn of events,' the word 'bewildered' means confused, which is the most suitable choice to convey the feeling caused by unexpected events. 'Elated' means joyful, 'vindicated' means justified, and 'apathetic' means uninterested, making them less fitting in the context of being surprised or thrown off by unexpected events.

4. The friendly baker offered us chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles. Which of the following is the direct object in the sentence above?

• A. offered us
• B. with the rainbow sprinkles
• C. The friendly baker
• D. chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes.' In this sentence, the friendly baker is the subject, 'offered' is the verb, and 'chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes' receive the action of the verb, making them the direct object. Choices A, B, and C do not directly receive the action of the verb 'offered,' so they are not the direct object. Choice A is the verb phrase, choice B is a prepositional phrase, and choice C is the subject of the sentence.

5. Which of the following spellings is correct?

• A. Dependant
• B. Dependent
• C. Dependunt
• D. Dependent

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct spelling is 'dependent,' meaning someone who relies on another for support. Choice A, 'Dependant,' is a common misspelling. Choice B, 'Dependint,' is incorrect. Choice C, 'Dependunt,' is also incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Dependent.'
