1. Which sentence uses 'fast' as an adverb?

• A. The cars on the overpass moved fast.
• B. The clock on the wall is 10 minutes fast.
• C. The batter could not hit the fast pitch.
• D. The fast cars drove over the bridge.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In sentence A, 'fast' is used as an adverb to modify the verb 'moved,' describing how the cars moved quickly. Choices B, C, and D use 'fast' as an adjective, describing the clock, pitch, and cars respectively. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, while adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.

2. What is the meaning of plastic?

• A. Mechanical
• B. Durable
• C. Authentic
• D. Flexible

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flexible. Plastic is a material that can be easily molded or shaped, known for its flexibility. It can bend and stretch without breaking, making it versatile and durable. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because plastic is not primarily associated with being mechanical, authentic, or durable, but rather with its ability to be shaped and its flexibility.

3. Her mother asked her what she would do after she _____.

• A. graduated
• B. completes
• C. finishes
• D. finished

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.

4. Long before his death, Pablo Picasso became one of the most important artists in history.

• A. become
• B. became
• C. been
• D. had become

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Became.' In this sentence, we need the simple past tense 'became' to describe the action that occurred in the past. 'Become' (choice A) is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and doesn't fit the sentence structure. 'Been' (choice C) is incorrect as it is the past participle and doesn't match the sentence context. 'Had become' (choice D) is unnecessary as the sentence doesn't require the past perfect tense.

5. What does Milieu mean?

• A. A person's background
• B. The environmental condition or setting
• C. A person's history
• D. The chemical composition

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The environmental condition or setting.' Milieu refers to the surroundings or environment in which a person lives or operates. Choice A ('A person's background') is incorrect as it refers more to someone's personal history rather than the external environment. Choice C ('A person's history') is also incorrect as it specifically relates to an individual's past events and experiences. Choice D ('The chemical composition') is unrelated to the meaning of milieu, which pertains to the physical or social setting.
