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. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The ingenious foxes managed to lever open one side of the coop.

• A. ingenious
• B. foxes
• C. lever
• D. coop

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'ingenious' is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence. The intended word should be 'ingenious,' which means clever or resourceful, while 'ingenuous' means innocent or naive. The other choices ('foxes,' 'lever,' 'coop') are spelled correctly and are relevant to the sentence.

3. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The attending physician led a small entourage of students and interns.

• A. attending
• B. lead
• C. entourage
• D. interns

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'lead.' The correct spelling should be 'led' in the context of the sentence. 'Lead' is a present tense verb, while 'led' is the past tense of 'lead' when used in the sense of guiding or showing the way. Choice A, 'attending,' is spelled correctly. Choice C, 'entourage,' is spelled correctly. Choice D, 'interns,' is spelled correctly. The error lies in the verb 'lead' being used incorrectly in the past tense form.

4. 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.

5. 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.
