1. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

2. Which word is NOT CORRECT? The student did not recognize which backpack was hers.

• A. Backpack
• B. Student
• C. Hers
• D. Recognize

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hers.' The possessive pronoun 'hers' does not require an apostrophe. The use of 'her's' with an apostrophe is grammatically incorrect. Choices A, B, and D ('Backpack,' 'Student,' and 'Recognize') are all spelled correctly and are grammatically sound in the sentence provided.

3. Precipitous is best defined as being ___________.

• A. damp
• B. gentle
• C. swift
• D. dull

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Precipitous is best defined as being swift, meaning sudden, rapid, or happening quickly. It is often used to describe a steep and very steep drop or rise. The word does not refer to being damp, gentle, or dull. 'Damp' means slightly wet, 'gentle' means mild or moderate, and 'dull' means lacking interest or excitement.

4. The patients are under 'quarantine'. What does this mean?

• A. Confinement away from the general population
• B. A specialist’s care
• C. Experimental drug therapy
• D. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Confinement away from the general population.' Quarantine refers to keeping someone isolated from the general population to prevent the spread of disease. Choice B, 'A specialist’s care,' is incorrect as it refers to medical treatment by a specialist, not isolation. Choice C, 'Experimental drug therapy,' is incorrect as it involves the administration of new drugs for research purposes, not isolation. Choice D, 'Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit,' is incorrect as it implies being detained in a rehabilitation facility, not isolation for health reasons.

5. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.
