1. Which verb is defined as to bring about; cause to happen; to accomplish; to make?

• A. Affect
• B. Accept
• C. Expect
• D. Effect

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'effect.' The verb 'effect' is defined as to bring about, cause to happen, accomplish, or make. It describes the action of making something happen or producing a result. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'affect' means to influence, 'accept' means to receive willingly, and 'expect' means to anticipate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'effect.'

2. What is the meaning of Contrite?

• A. Guilty
• B. Regretful
• C. Shameful
• D. Pleased

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Regretful.' Contrite means feeling regret or remorse. 'Guilty' (A) refers to being responsible for a wrongdoing, not necessarily feeling remorseful. 'Shameful' (C) means feeling ashamed, which is related but not the same as feeling regret. 'Pleased' (D) means feeling satisfied or happy, which is the opposite of contrite.

3. Identify the correct sentence structure.

• A. The cat sleeping on the mat
• B. The cat is sleeping on the mat
• C. The mat that the cat is sleeping on
• D. Sleeping on the mat is the cat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct sentence structure is 'The cat is sleeping on the mat.' This is a complete and grammatically correct sentence following a standard subject-verb-object structure. 'The cat' is the subject, 'is sleeping' is the verb, and 'on the mat' is the prepositional phrase describing where the action is taking place. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A is a sentence fragment lacking a verb; option C is a dependent clause lacking a main clause, and option D has a subject-verb inversion making it awkward and incorrect.

4. What does 'Occluded' mean?

• A. Open
• B. Closed or obstructed
• C. Partially obstructed
• D. Expanded

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Occluded' means something is closed or obstructed, not open as in choice A. It is more than just partially obstructed as in choice C. It does not mean expanded as in choice D. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Closed or obstructed.'

5. In the United States, drivers drive cars on the _____ side of the road.

• A. Rite
• B. Left
• C. Off-side
• D. Right

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the United States, drivers drive on the 'right' side of the road. This is the standard practice in the country. Choice A 'Rite' is incorrect as it is a misspelling of 'Right.' Choice B 'Left' is incorrect as driving on the left side is common in countries like the UK, not the US. Choice C 'Off-side' is incorrect as it is not a standard term used to describe the side of the road where people drive in the US.
