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 this sentence grammatically correct: 'Felix was pleased ____ the progress he had made in his program.'

• A. among
• B. with
• C. regards
• D. besides

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this context is 'with.' 'Felix was pleased with the progress he had made in his program' indicates that Felix's satisfaction is directly related to the progress he achieved. 'Among' is incorrect as it implies being part of a group, 'regards' is not a suitable preposition in this context, and 'besides' does not convey the intended meaning of satisfaction with the progress.

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. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Kalinda spends part of her day ___________ data from the lab.

• A. inputs
• B. input
• C. having input
• D. inputting

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct form in this sentence is 'inputting,' as it is the gerund form of the verb 'input.' The gerund form is used to show that Kalinda spends part of her day engaging in the ongoing action of inputting data from the lab. Choice A ('inputs') is incorrect as it is the third-person singular form of the verb, which does not fit here. Choice B ('input') is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not convey the ongoing action required in this context. Choice C ('having input') is incorrect as it suggests a completed action rather than an ongoing one.

5. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Miguel and I are waiting to ___________ with the doctor.

• A. be met
• B. meeting
• C. met
• D. meet

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The verb 'meet' is the correct option in this context as it completes the sentence structure 'waiting to meet with the doctor' in a grammatically correct way. The sentence requires an infinitive verb form to convey the intended meaning of Miguel and I waiting to have a meeting or appointment with the doctor. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'be met' changes the meaning, 'meeting' is a gerund form which doesn't fit the sentence structure, and 'met' is a past tense form that doesn't match the present tense context of the sentence.
