1. Which word correctly completes this sentence: 'He has ____ many tasks to complete.'

• A. to
• B. two
• C. too
• D. tow

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'too.' In this context, 'too' means 'excessively' or 'also,' indicating that the person has an excessive number of tasks to complete. Choice A, 'to,' is a preposition and does not fit the sentence structure. Choice B, 'two,' is a number and does not convey the intended meaning of having an excessive amount of tasks. Choice D, 'tow,' is a verb related to pulling something behind, which is completely unrelated to the sentence's context.

2. Which word is a synonym for 'brief'?

• A. Short
• B. Long
• C. Detailed
• D. Wordy

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'Short' is the correct answer because it is a synonym for 'brief,' meaning concise or not lengthy. 'Long' (Choice B) is the opposite of 'brief.' 'Detailed' (Choice C) and 'Wordy' (Choice D) both imply a level of depth or excess information, making them incorrect choices.

3. Choose the correct verb form: 'Neither of the boys ____ interested in the game.'

• A. is
• B. are
• C. were
• D. be

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The subject 'Neither' is singular, so the correct verb form to use is 'is.' In this sentence, 'boys' is part of a prepositional phrase 'of the boys' and does not affect the verb agreement. 'Are' (choice B) is plural and does not match the singular subject. 'Were' (choice C) is past tense and not suitable for the present context. 'Be' (choice D) is an infinitive form and does not agree with the subject.

4. In the sentence 'The very lively lady was riding a beautiful parade float,' what part of speech is 'lively'?

• A. Verb
• B. Adverb
• C. Adjective
• D. Noun

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Lively' is an adjective in this sentence as it describes the noun 'lady.' It is used to provide more information about the characteristics of the lady, indicating how she is lively. This makes 'adjective' the correct answer. The other options are incorrect: 'Verb' is a word that expresses an action or state of being, 'Adverb' modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, and 'Noun' is a person, place, thing, or idea.

5. Which of the following is the plural form of the word 'chief'?

• A. chiefs
• B. chieves
• C. chievs
• D. chiefes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'chiefs.' 'Chief' follows the standard rule for forming the plural by adding an 's' at the end. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the standard pluralization rule for the word 'chief.' 'Chieves,' 'chievs,' and 'chiefes' are not valid plural forms of 'chief.'
