1. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. If Angela attends the seminar tomorrow, she ___________ the employee discount.

• A. gave
• B. gives
• C. will given
• D. will be given

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: will be given.' In the sentence, the future passive voice is needed to convey that Angela will receive the employee discount if she attends the seminar. 'Will be given' is the appropriate phrase to express this passive construction. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not form the correct future passive structure required in the sentence.

2. Select the word in the following sentence that is not used correctly. On departing, the patient complimented her therapist and counselor.

• A. departing
• B. complimented
• C. therapist
• D. counselor

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'therapist' in the sentence is used correctly. However, the word 'councilor' is misspelled and should be 'counselor' to refer to a mental health professional providing therapy services. The correct term should have an 's' after 'counselor,' making it 'counselor' instead of 'councilor.' Therefore, the word 'councilor' is the one not used correctly in the sentence.

3. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: The centrifuge cannot run by ___________; it requires constant attention.

• A. oneself
• B. itself
• C. herself
• D. themselves

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'itself.' The sentence is referring to the centrifuge, which is an object, not a person. Therefore, the word 'itself' is used to indicate that the centrifuge cannot run on its own; it requires constant attention. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to a person or people, which is not suitable in the context of the sentence.

4. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? To succeed in this position, it is necessary to manage people well.

• A. succeed
• B. position
• C. necessary
• D. manage

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'manage' is misspelled as 'menage' in the sentence. The correct spelling of the word is 'manage.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'D: manage.' Choices A, B, and C are all spelled correctly in the context of the sentence.

5. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? I like the way the bride’s stationery complements her wedding decor.

• A. bride’s
• B. stationery
• C. complements
• D. decor

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'complements' is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence. The correct spelling should be 'complements,' which means 'enhances or goes well with.' 'Compliments' in this context would refer to expressions of praise or admiration. The other choices ('bride’s,' 'stationery,' 'decor') are correctly spelled and fit the context of the sentence.
