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. Select the phrase or clause that is misplaced in the following sentence: I noticed a number of workers from my car window who were repairing the road alongside the mall.

• A. of workers
• B. from my car window
• C. who were repairing the road
• D. alongside the mall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The phrase 'of workers' is misplaced in the sentence because the preposition 'of' is unnecessary and disrupts the flow of the sentence. It creates redundancy as 'a number of workers' can be simplified to 'workers.' Removing this unnecessary prepositional phrase would make the sentence clearer and more concise. Choice B 'from my car window' is correctly placed as it provides context on where the observation was made. Choice C 'who were repairing the road' and Choice D 'alongside the mall' are essential parts of the sentence providing details about the workers' activity and location, respectively.

3. 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.

4. Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Until the semester ends, Lily ___________.

• A. is not traveling far from town
• B. has not traveled far from town
• C. will not have traveled far from town
• D. will not travel far from town

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct phrase should use the future tense because it indicates an action that will happen in the future. The phrase 'will not travel far from town' fits this requirement, making the sentence grammatically correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not express a future action, which is needed in this context.

5. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The pharmacist seemed to disagree with the prescription designated by the physician.

• A. pharmacist
• B. prescription
• C. designated
• D. physician

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'prescription' in the sentence is misspelled as 'proscription.' A prescription is a written order for medication or treatment provided by a healthcare professional, while a proscription means a forbidding or prohibition. The other choices (A, C, D) are all correctly spelled in the context of the sentence.
