    • Luck

    • Opportunity

    • Possibilty

    • Ways

    This is the only grammatically correct word. The only other word which comes close is 'possibility'. However then the sentence would read "...would make it possible to do some shopping."

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    In some cases you double the last letter before adding "er" or "est". Please read the sentence and choose the correct word. If you add "est" to "quick" what is the correct spelling?

    • Quickest

    • Quickkest

    Correct Answer
    A. Quickest
    Explanation
    In this case, the word "quick" is being compared to something else, so the superlative form is needed. To form the superlative, the last letter "k" is doubled before adding "est", resulting in the correct spelling "quickest".

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If we compare two objects we use "er". When we compare more than two objects we use "est". Please read the sentence and select either "er" or "est". Sharon is ______ than Sheila.

    • Shorter

    • Shortest

    Correct Answer
    A. Shorter
    Explanation
    In the sentence, we are comparing the height of Sharon and Sheila. Since we are only comparing two objects (Sharon and Sheila), we should use the comparative form of the adjective, which is "shorter". This form indicates that Sharon's height is less than Sheila's height. Therefore, the correct answer is "shorter".

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If we compare two objects we use "er". When we compare more than two objects we use "est". Please read the sentence and select the correct answer. The girl at the park was ______________ than the girl inside.

    • Happier

    • Happiest

    Correct Answer
    A. Happier
    Explanation
    In this sentence, we are comparing two girls - the girl at the park and the girl inside. Since we are comparing only two objects, we use the comparative form of the adjective, which is "happier". The word "happier" indicates that the girl at the park is more happy than the girl inside.

  • 8. 

    Which is the correct plural?

    • 2 country

    • 2 countrys

    • 2 countrys

    • 2 countries

    • 2 countryes

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 countries
    Explanation
    The correct plural form for the word "country" is "countries". In English, when we want to indicate more than one of something, we usually add an "s" to the end of the word. Therefore, "countries" is the correct plural form in this case. The other options provided ("countryes" and "countrys") are not correct plural forms and do not follow the usual rules of English grammar.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Maria __________ never late for work.

    • Am

    • Are

    • Were

    • Is

    The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the subject "Maria" and the present tense form of the verb "to be".

    I have only a ________ Christmas cards left to write.

    • Few

    • Fewer

    • Less

    • Little

    Correct Answer
    A. Few
    Explanation
    The word "few" is the correct answer because it is used to describe a small number of countable objects, such as Christmas cards. In this sentence, the speaker is implying that they have a small number of Christmas cards left to write, suggesting that they have already written a significant number of cards.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The concert will begin ________ fifteen minutes.

    • In

    • On

    • With

    • About

    Correct Answer
    A. In
    Explanation
    The word "in" is the correct answer because it is commonly used to indicate the starting time of an event. In this case, it suggests that the concert will start after a duration of fifteen minutes.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What is 50% of 12?

    • 1.2

    • 6

    • 10

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    To find 50% of a number, we divide the number by 2. In this case, 12 divided by 2 equals 6. Therefore, 6 is 50% of 12.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    How is my mother's sister's brother's wife's child related to me?

    • brother

    • uncle

    • Cousin

    • Nephew

    Correct Answer
    A. Cousin
    Explanation
    There is an extra relation here to confuse you. The mother's sister's brother is of course the mother's brother. And the brother's wife's child is also the brother's child.

    So now you can read it as the mother's brother's child. This is easier to identify the answer as your cousin.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    In some cases you double the last letter before adding "er" or "est". Please read the sentence and choose the correct word. If you add "er" to "quick" what is the correct spelling?

    • Quickker

    • Quicker

    Correct Answer
    A. Quicker
    Explanation
    In this case, the word "quick" ends with the letter "k". According to the rule mentioned in the question, when adding "er" to a word that ends with a single consonant letter preceded by a single vowel letter, the consonant letter is doubled. Therefore, the correct spelling is "quicker" with the double "k" before adding "er".

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    If we compare two objects we use "er". When we compare more than two objects we use "est". Please read the sentence and select the correct answer. Daishalyn is ______ than your average six year old.

    • Smarter

    • Smartest

    Correct Answer
    A. Smarter
    Explanation
    The sentence is comparing Daishalyn to an average six-year-old. Since it is only comparing two objects (Daishalyn and the average six-year-old), we use the comparative form "smarter" rather than the superlative form "smartest".

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    What is the synonym for talk?

    • Supposed calling

    • Supposed call

    Correct Answer
    A. Supposed to call
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "supposed to call." This is because the phrase "supposed to" is used to indicate an obligation or expectation. In this sentence, it suggests that there was an expectation or obligation for the person to make a call to the Brisbane office before 2 p.m.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Write in the sensory word from the sentence. A sensory word tells how things look, taste, smell, sound and feel. The little girl was sad because she could not play outside.

    Correct Answer
    sad
    Explanation
    The word "sad" is a sensory word that describes the little girl's emotions. It indicates that she is feeling unhappy or downcast because she is unable to play outside. The word "sad" appeals to our sense of emotions and feelings, conveying a sense of sorrow or disappointment in this context.

    In some cases you double the last letter before adding "er" or "est". Please read the sentence and choose the correct word. If you add "er" to "great" what is the correct spelling?

    • Greater

    • Greatter

    Correct Answer
    A. Greater
    Explanation
    When adding "er" to "great," the correct spelling is "greater." This follows the rule of doubling the last letter before adding "er" or "est" in some cases. In this case, the last letter of "great" is "t," so it is doubled to "tt" before adding "er."

    Rate this question:

  • 20.

    When adding "er" to the word "hot," you double the last letter "t" before adding the suffix. Therefore, the correct spelling is "hotter."

    Rate this question:

    Write a describing word that tells about color, size or shape. That apple is __________.

    • Rolling

    • Round

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Cheryl likes apples, _________ she does not like oranges.

    • So

    • For

    • But

    • Or

    Correct Answer
    A. But
    Explanation
    The word "but" is the correct answer because it is used to show contrast or opposition between two ideas. In this case, it is used to contrast Cheryl's liking for apples with her dislike for oranges.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Write in the sensory word from the sentence. A sensory word tells how things look, taste, smell, sound and feel. My alarm clock makes a loud sound in the morning.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The word "loud" describes the sound made by the alarm clock in the morning. It indicates that the sound produced by the alarm clock is high in volume and can be easily heard.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    In some cases you double the last letter before adding "er" or "est". Please read the sentence and choose the correct word. If you add "er" to "thin" what is the correct spelling?    

    • Thinner

    • Thiner

    Correct Answer
    A. Thinner
    Explanation
    In this case, the correct spelling is "thinner" because when adding "er" to the word "thin," we double the last letter "n" before adding the suffix. This maintains the short vowel sound in the word.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    The company will upgrade _________ computer information systems next month.

    • There

    • Their

    • They're

    Correct Answer
    A. Their
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "their" because it is used to show possession. In this sentence, it indicates that the company will upgrade the computer information systems that belong to them. "There" is used to indicate a place, and "they're" is a contraction of "they are," which does not make sense in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Eli's hobbies include jogging, swimming, and __________.

    • To climb mountains

    • Climb mountains

    • To climb

    • Climbing mountains

    Correct Answer
    A. Climbing mountains

    • as

    • As good

    • Good as

    • As good as

    Correct Answer
    A. As good as
    Explanation
    The phrase "as good as" is used to compare the movie to the book, indicating that they are of equal quality. The statement also mentions that this rarely happens, suggesting that it is uncommon for a movie to be as good as the book it is based on.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Alicia, __________ the windows please. It's too hot in here.

    • Opens

    • Open

    • Opened

    • Will opened

    Correct Answer
    A. Open
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "open" because it is the present tense form of the verb that matches with the subject "Alicia." The sentence is a command or request, and in this case, we use the base form of the verb "open" without the "-s" ending that is used for third-person singular subjects.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    A, e, i, m, q, u, _, _

    • Y, c

    • B, f

    • G, i

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Y, c
    Explanation
    The letters are increasing by four increments. You can count this on your hand like this:

    Thumb: a
    Pointer Finger: b
    Middle Finger c
    Third finger: d
    Pinky finger: e

    This shows that each letter is on the thumb and pinky. Make sure you reset each count. So in this case 'e' becomes the thumb (so you sort of count it twice like this).

    If you're really in a hurry on this it is a good guess that y,c is the correct response because this is the only answer that has a letter AFTER 'u'.

    Rate this question:

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    • E

    Correct Answer
    A. B
    Explanation
    The size of the shapes change places vertically each progression. Each time a new colour is added, that colour becomes the colour of both shapes in the following progression. So the addition of green in the fourth progression means that both shapes will be green in the fifth progression.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    In some cases you double the last letter before adding "er" or "est". Please read the sentence and choose the correct word. If you add "est" to "great" what is the correct spelling?

    • Studying

    • Is studying

    • Are studying

    Correct Answer
    A. Is studying

    The correct answer is "is studying" because the sentence is in the present tense and refers to a singular subject, "Juan." Therefore, the verb should be conjugated in the present tense for a singular subject, which is "is studying."

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Which of the following is most similar in meaning to particular:

    • Special

    • Simple

    • Careful

    • Specific

    • Obvious

    Correct Answer

    The word "particular" refers to something that is specific or distinct. Similarly, the word "specific" also means something that is precise or detailed. Therefore, "specific" is the most similar in meaning to "particular".

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    Four of the following words are alike in some way. Select the odd word out?

    • Petrified

    • Fearful

    • Terrified

    • Daring

    • Scared

    Correct Answer
    A. Daring
    Explanation
    The words "petrified," "fearful," "terrified," and "scared" all have similar meanings as they all describe a state of being afraid or frightened. However, "daring" stands out as the odd word because it has the opposite meaning. It implies being bold, courageous, or willing to take risks, which is different from the other words that express fear or apprehension.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    A father's age is five times his son's age. Four years ago the father was 9 times older than his son. How old are the father and son at present?

    • 30yrs and 6yrs

    • 25yrs and 5yrs

    • 40yrs and 8yrs

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 40yrs and 8yrs
    Explanation
    You can solve this by rough estimation given you have multiple choice here. You can quickly see that each of the first 3 answers satisfy the condition that the father is currently 5 times the age of the son.

    By subtracting 4 years from each age in each answer you will see them as follows:
    a: 26 and 2
    b: 21 and 1
    c: 36 and 4

    Now it is clear that the answer is c: 40 and 8 (because 4 x 9 = 36 and 5 x 8 = 40). These questions are why it is important to learn your multiplication tables prior to testing.

    • Faster

    • Fastest

    Correct Answer
    A. Fastest
    Explanation
    In the given sentence, we are comparing the three runners - Amy, Grace, and Callie. Since we are comparing more than two objects, we use the word "fastest" to indicate the superlative degree. This means that Callie was the fastest runner among the three.

    • Wettest

    • Wetest

    Correct Answer
    A. Wettest
    Explanation
    When adding "est" to "wet," you double the last letter "t" and add "est" to form the superlative degree of the adjective. Therefore, the correct spelling is "wettest."

    Rate this question:

    In some cases you double the last letter before adding "er" or "est". Please read the sentence and choose the correct word.   If you add "er" to "wet" what is the correct spelling?

    Correct Answer
    A. Wetter
    Explanation
    In this case, the rule states that when adding "er" or "est" to a word, you double the last letter if the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. Since "wet" ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, the last letter "t" is doubled before adding "er", resulting in the correct spelling "wetter".
