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 of the following words is an exception to a common spelling rule?

• A. achievement
• B. operation
• C. changeable
• D. deplorable

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: changeable.' This word is an exception to a common spelling rule where it retains the 'e' when adding the suffix '-able.' In contrast, choices A, B, and D follow standard spelling rules without exceptions.

3. Which verb tense best fits the blank: 'By next month, she _____ the project for a year.'

• A. will have been working on
• B. will work on
• C. has been working on
• D. had worked on

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: will have been working on.' In this sentence, the future perfect continuous tense is needed to convey that the action of working on the project will continue up to a specific future point (next month). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B ('will work on') indicates a future action without emphasizing the duration of the action. Choice C ('has been working on') is in the present perfect continuous tense, which does not convey the future duration of the action. Choice D ('had worked on') is in the past perfect tense, which is not suitable for indicating an action continuing up to a future point.

4. I truly believe that one cup of coffee a day is neither too much nor too little caffeine for me, but exactly the right amount. Which of the following words is misspelled in the sentence above?

• A. caffeine
• B. truly
• C. neither
• D. exactly

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'caffeine.' The word 'caffeine' is spelled with only one 'e' after the 'f,' not 'caffiene.' 'Truly,' 'neither,' and 'exactly' are all spelled correctly in the sentence provided.

5. What is the complete subject in the sentence: Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job was that it would be full-time and would offer benefits?

• A. Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job
• B. Sandra’s principal reason
• C. Sandra’s principal
• D. Sandra

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The complete subject in a sentence includes all the words that describe the main focus of the sentence. In this case, the complete subject is "Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job" as it encompasses all the relevant details about Sandra and her reason for selecting the job. Choice A is the correct answer because it provides the most comprehensive and specific information, making it the complete subject. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not include all the necessary elements to form the complete subject and do not convey the full context of the sentence.
