1. Which word is not spelled correctly? The government official was grateful to receive that award.

• A. government
• B. official
• C. grateful
• D. receive

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct spelling of the word is 'government' with an 'n' after the 't.' In the sentence provided, the word 'goverment' is misspelled, making it the correct answer choice. Choices B, C, and D are all spelled correctly within the context of the sentence, so they are not the correct answer.

2. Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence: Nurse Junko and ________ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. me
• B. she
• C. them
• D. him

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct word to use after 'and' is a pronoun that would refer to Nurse Junko as another person. Since 'Nurse Junko' is a singular female subject, the appropriate pronoun to use is 'she.' Therefore, the correct choice is 'she.' Choice 'A' ('me') is incorrect because it is an object pronoun, not a subject pronoun. Choice 'C' ('them') is incorrect because it is a plural pronoun and does not agree with the singular subject 'Nurse Junko.' Choice 'D' ('him') is incorrect because it is a masculine pronoun, while the subject 'Nurse Junko' is a singular female, so the pronoun should be feminine.

3. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The principal role of this clinic has to do with the provision of convenient care.

• A. principle
• B. role
• C. provision
• D. convenient

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'principle' is spelled incorrectly. The correct word should be 'principal,' which means main or primary. 'Principle' refers to a fundamental truth or belief. Choice B, 'role,' is correctly spelled. Choice C, 'provision,' is also spelled correctly. Choice D, 'convenient,' is spelled correctly as well. Therefore, the correct answer is A as it is the only word spelled incorrectly in the context of the sentence.

4. What word is used incorrectly in the following sentence: 'Whoever wrote the letter forgot to sign their name.'

• A. Whoever
• B. wrote
• C. their
• D. name

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'their' is used incorrectly in the sentence because it is a plural pronoun while 'Whoever' is singular. In this case, 'his or her' should be used instead of 'their' to maintain subject-verb agreement. The other choices 'Whoever,' 'wrote,' and 'name' are used correctly in the sentence.

5. The student ___________ for the final exam.

• A. Was studying
• B. Didn’t study
• C. Studied hard
• D. Would have studied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Was studying,' which is the past continuous form describing an action that was happening at a specific time in the past. Choice B, 'Didn’t study,' is incorrect because it's in simple past tense, not the continuous form required by the context. Choice C, 'Studied hard,' is incorrect as it lacks the continuous aspect required by the context. Choice D, 'Would have studied,' is in the wrong tense; it is a hypothetical past action, not an action in progress in the past.
