1. 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.

2. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Which criteria were used to draw a conclusion about their findings?

• A. Which
• B. was
• C. draw
• D. their

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'draw' is used incorrectly in the sentence. The correct word that needs to be used is 'criteria' instead of 'criterion' to maintain subject-verb agreement. The correct sentence should be: 'Which criteria were used to draw a conclusion about their findings?' 'Draw' should be 'were drawn' to match the plural subject 'criteria.' The other choices are correct in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

3. Select the phrase in the following sentence that is not used correctly. Before their hospitalization, the children had rarely eaten three meals a day.

• A. Before their
• B. children had
• C. had rarely
• D. rarely eat

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The phrase 'had rarely' is not used correctly in the sentence. The correct form should be 'rarely eaten' instead of 'had rarely' to convey the past tense of the children's eating habits before their hospitalization. 'Had rarely' is incorrect because it does not match the structure needed to describe the children's eating habits in the past. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically sound and fit appropriately in the sentence.

4. 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.

5. If they _________ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach.

• A. Know
• B. Knew
• C. Had known
• D. Were knowing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Had known.' In this sentence, the structure is a third conditional, which is used for unreal situations in the past. 'Had known' is the correct past perfect form that matches the conditional structure. It indicates that if they had possessed the knowledge about the bad weather in advance, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach. Options A, B, and D do not correctly fit the past perfect tense required in this context. 'Know' (Option A) is present tense, 'Knew' (Option B) is simple past tense, and 'Were knowing' (Option D) is incorrect and does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence in the context of a third conditional.
