1. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? To succeed in this position, it is necessary to manage people well.

• A. succeed
• B. position
• C. necessary
• D. manage

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'manage' is misspelled as 'menage' in the sentence. The correct spelling of the word is 'manage.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'D: manage.' Choices A, B, and C are all spelled correctly in the context of the sentence.

2. What word is best to fill in the blank in the following sentence? Jenny loaned Luis 50 dollars, and he repaid ___________ within the month.

• A. her
• B. she
• C. him
• D. its

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the pronoun should refer to Luis, who borrowed the money. Since Luis is a male, the correct pronoun to use in this context is 'him.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'him.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not match the gender of Luis or do not make sense in the context of the sentence.

3. Select the word that makes this sentence grammatically correct. I added ___________ pepper to the casserole.

• A. too
• B. more
• C. those
• D. many

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'more' is the correct choice to make the sentence grammatically correct. 'More' is used to indicate an increase in quantity, which fits well in the sentence structure 'I added more pepper to the casserole.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. 'Too' implies an excessive amount, 'those' refers to specific items, and 'many' is used for countable objects, none of which are suitable in this context.

4. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Please give the folder to whoever replies to your page.

• A. give
• B. envelope
• C. whoever
• D. replies

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'envelope' is used incorrectly in the sentence. The correct word should be 'folder,' as mentioned in the original sentence. An envelope is a flat paper container for a letter or documents, while a folder is a folded cover for papers or documents. 'Give,' 'whoever,' and 'replies' are all used appropriately in the sentence, so they are not the incorrect words.

5. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? The professor was once an intern in this hospital back in the 1980s.

• A. professor
• B. once
• C. intern
• D. hospital

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the given sentence, the word 'once' is used incorrectly. The original sentence implies that the professor was an intern in the hospital at a specific time in the past, not just once. The word 'formerly' would imply that the professor used to be an intern but is no longer. Therefore, 'once' is the incorrect word choice in this context. The other options ('professor,' 'intern,' 'hospital') are all used correctly in the sentence.
