1. What is the correct plural form of the noun 'class'?

• A. Class
• B. Class'
• C. Class's
• D. Classes

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct plural form of the noun 'class' is 'classes.' When forming the plural of 'class,' you add 'es' to the singular form. Choices A, B, and C do not correctly represent the plural form of 'class' and are therefore incorrect. Choice A is the singular form, choice B is incorrect as it includes an apostrophe, and choice C shows possession which is not required for pluralization.

2. Which word in the following sentence is an adverb?

• A. Likely
• B. Annoyed
• C. Assigned
• D. Unnecessary

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Likely.' An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'likely' is an adverb that modifies the verb 'annoyed,' expressing the probability or likelihood of the action. The other choices, 'B: Annoyed,' 'C: Assigned,' and 'D: Unnecessary,' are not adverbs. 'Annoyed' is a past tense verb, 'Assigned' is a past tense verb, and 'Unnecessary' is an adjective describing the type of busy work assigned. Therefore, 'A: Likely' is the only adverb in the sentence.

3. Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of the word 'bibliophile'?

• A. A person who collects books
• B. An index at the back of a book
• C. A compiled list of different books
• D. A place where books are kept

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The term 'bibliophile' is derived from the Greek words 'biblio' meaning books and 'phile' meaning lover or enthusiast. Therefore, a 'bibliophile' refers to a person who collects or has a great love of books. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'bibliophile.' An index at the back of a book is called a 'bibliography,' a compiled list of different books is a 'catalog,' and a place where books are kept is a 'library,' not a 'bibliophile.'

4. Which of the following steps occurs last in the writing process?

• A. Revise the content
• B. Plan and conduct research
• C. Select the topic and write the thesis statement
• D. Organize the material into a logical format

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is to 'Revise the content.' This step occurs last in the writing process as it involves reviewing the entire work to ensure clarity, coherence, and error-free writing. Choice B, 'Plan and conduct research,' typically takes place at the beginning of the writing process to gather information. Choice C, 'Select the topic and write the thesis statement,' is an early step to define the focus of the writing. Choice D, 'Organize the material into a logical format,' usually occurs after researching and outlining the content but before the final revision stage.

5. Which sentence uses the present perfect continuous tense correctly?

• A. I have been working on this project since morning.
• B. She has finished the book already.
• C. They will be leaving for vacation tomorrow.
• D. He had been living in the city for ten years.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A, 'I have been working on this project since morning,' uses the present perfect continuous tense correctly. This structure implies an action that started in the past (working on the project) and is still ongoing up to the present moment. Choice B is incorrect as it uses the present perfect tense ('has finished'), which indicates a completed action with relevance to the present. Choice C uses the future continuous tense ('will be leaving'), and Choice D uses the past perfect continuous tense ('had been living'). Therefore, only Choice A fits the criteria for the present perfect continuous tense.
