1. Which of the following words is written correctly in its plural form?

• A. Chieves
• B. Prooves
• C. Razores
• D. Halves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Halves' is the correct plural form of 'half.' In this case, 'halves' is the plural form of 'half,' referring to two equal parts of a whole. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as 'chieves,' 'prooves,' and 'razores' are not valid plural forms of the respective singular nouns.

2. Choose the sentence with the correct pronoun usage.

• A. “This mystery concerns my friend Watson and me.”
• B. “This mystery concerns me and my friend Watson.”
• C. “This mystery concerns my friend Watson and I.”
• D. “This mystery concerns I and my friend Watson.”

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct pronoun usage is 'me' when it is the object of a verb or preposition. In this sentence, 'me' is the object of the verb 'concerns,' so it should be used instead of 'I.' Additionally, the correct order for objects in a sentence is 'my friend Watson and me.' Choice B is incorrect because 'me' should come before 'my friend Watson' to maintain the correct order. Choice C is incorrect as 'I' is incorrectly used instead of 'me.' Choice D is incorrect because 'I' is used incorrectly as the object pronoun, and the order is reversed.

3. Which sentence uses the pronoun 'they' correctly?

• A. They is going to the park later today.
• B. Sarah and John said they would come to the party.
• C. The teacher said they needs to finish the report.
• D. They enjoys reading books in their free time.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A. "They" should be used with "are," not "is." B. Correct use of "they" for multiple people (Sarah and John). C. "They" should not be paired with "needs." D. "They" should be used with "enjoy," not "enjoys."

4. Which word best synonyms with the word 'elated'?

• A. Angry
• B. Sad
• C. Excited
• D. Confused

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'elated' means extremely happy and joyful. 'Excited' is the best synonym as it also conveys feelings of happiness and enthusiasm, similar to 'elated'. On the other hand, 'angry', 'sad', and 'confused' represent different emotions that are not synonymous with 'elated'. Choosing 'angry' indicates a strong negative emotion, 'sad' represents a feeling of sorrow, and 'confused' implies a state of being unclear or uncertain, which are all contrary to the meaning of 'elated'. Therefore, 'Excited' is the correct choice in this context.

5. Identify the interjection in the following sentence: Ouch! I stubbed my toe on the table leg.

• A. table
• B. leg
• C. ouch
• D. stubbed

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'ouch'. Interjections are words or phrases used to express strong emotions or sudden feelings. In this sentence, 'ouch' expresses pain, making it an interjection in the given context. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent interjections. 'Table' and 'leg' are nouns, while 'stubbed' is a past tense verb, none of which serve as interjections in this sentence.
