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. 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 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.

4. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. The intern had to select _________ three specialties.

• A. among
• B. between
• C. with
• D. along

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'among'. When choosing from more than two items, the preposition 'among' is used. In this case, 'among' is the appropriate choice as the intern had to select from three specialties, indicating a selection from a group rather than a choice between two specific options. Choice B, 'between', is incorrect because it is used when choosing between two items. Choice C, 'with', and choice D, 'along', are also incorrect as they do not convey the idea of choosing from a group of items.

5. Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct. Before ________ this medicine, consume a modest meal.

• A. having taken
• B. taking
• C. took
• D. will take

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct form to use in this sentence is the present participle 'taking.' The sentence should read, 'Before taking this medicine, consume a modest meal.' It is important to use the present participle form when talking about an action that occurs before another action. Choice A 'having taken' is incorrect as it suggests a completed action before consuming a meal. Choice C 'took' is in the past tense, not suitable for indicating an action that should happen before another. Choice D 'will take' is in the future tense, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
