1. Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?

• A. We sat out the next dance.
• B. While the band played.
• C. The band played a nice slow song.
• D. Everyone enjoyed the dance.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'While the band played.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. The other choices (A, C, D) are complete sentences with a subject and a predicate, conveying a complete thought.

2. Of the many people whom she interviewed, she chose the one with the most _____.

• A. experience
• B. skills
• C. qualities
• D. knowledge

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'experience' is the most appropriate term because it refers to the practical knowledge and exposure someone has gained over time. When selecting a candidate from interviews, experience is often a crucial factor as it demonstrates the individual's capability to perform tasks effectively based on past scenarios encountered. 'Skills' (choice B) are specific abilities that can be learned or developed, 'qualities' (choice C) refer to personal characteristics, and 'knowledge' (choice D) is theoretical understanding, none of which directly reflect practical exposure gained over time.

3. Which sentence uses the word 'present' as an adjective?

• A. She gave a present to her friend
• B. She was present at the meeting
• C. She made a present for her friend
• D. The teacher presented the award

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'She was present at the meeting' uses 'present' as an adjective. In this context, 'present' describes her state of being at the meeting. The other choices use 'present' as a verb (to give), a noun (a gift), and a verb (to show), making them incorrect in the context of looking for the adjective use of 'present'.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'exposure' in the following sentence: 'People with weakened immune systems should avoid exposure to flu.'

• A. Disclosure
• B. Pretense
• C. Contact
• D. Display

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'exposure' is used to refer to coming in contact with the flu virus. Therefore, in this context, the meaning of 'exposure' is related to 'contact.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Disclosure' means revealing information, 'pretense' means pretending, and 'display' means to show or exhibit, none of which captures the intended meaning of 'exposure' in the sentence provided.

5. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'I ___ the package on the table.'

• A. Layed
• B. Drop
• C. Laid
• D. Lay

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Laid.' 'Laid' is the correct past tense form of 'lay,' which means to put something down. 'Layed' in choice A is incorrect as the past tense of 'lay' is 'laid,' not 'layed.' Choice B, 'Drop,' is incorrect as it does not fit the context of placing something on the table. Choice D, 'Lay,' is the base form of the verb and does not fit the sentence in the past tense.
