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 word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: The wheelchair started _______ down the corridor without assistance.

• A. roll
• B. to roll
• C. rolled
• D. will roll

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'to roll.' In this sentence, 'started' is followed by the infinitive form of the verb 'to roll.' The construction 'started to roll' indicates the beginning of the action of the wheelchair moving down the corridor. Choice A ('roll') is incorrect as it lacks the infinitive marker 'to' needed after 'started.' Choice C ('rolled') is incorrect as it is the past tense form of the verb, not suitable for the sentence's context. Choice D ('will roll') is incorrect as it indicates a future action, not the past action indicated by 'started.'

3. You _________ on your final exam.

• A. Worked
• B. Forgot
• C. Did well
• D. Done good

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Did well.' This phrase is commonly used to describe performance on an exam. 'Worked' does not fit the context of exam performance. 'Forgot' is incorrect as it implies forgetting something related to the exam. 'Done good' is grammatically incorrect; the correct form is 'done well.' Therefore, 'Did well' is the most appropriate choice in this context.

4. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The itinerant teacher moved continually from one school to another within the district.

• A. iterate
• B. continually
• C. within
• D. district

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'iterate' is not spelled correctly in the sentence. The correct word that should be used here is 'itinerant,' which means constantly traveling from place to place, especially for work. In this context, 'iterate' does not fit as it means to repeat a process or utterance. 'Continually' is spelled correctly and means happening without interruption. 'Within' and 'district' are also spelled correctly and are used appropriately in the sentence. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.

5. What word is best to substitute for the underlined words in the following sentence? Mr. Karnicki invited all of his relatives to visit him in the hospital.

• A. his
• B. theirs
• C. them
• D. their

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'his' in the sentence is referring to Mr. Karnicki's relatives, indicating possession. Therefore, the correct substitution should maintain the possessive form. 'His' is the appropriate possessive pronoun to use in this context, ensuring clarity and coherence in the sentence structure. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convey the possessive relationship between Mr. Karnicki and his relatives.
