Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which is correct?

    • A.

      The airplane is in the hanger.

    • B.

      The airplane is in the hangar.

    Correct Answer
    B. The airplane is in the hangar.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The airplane is in the hangar." The word "hangar" refers to a large building where aircraft are kept and maintained.

    When a president is impeached, he is:

    • A.

      Accused of doing something wrong

    • B.

      Removed from office

    • C.

      Accused of doing something wrong, then removed from office

    Correct Answer
    A. Accused of doing something wrong
    Explanation
    When a president is impeached, he is accused of doing something wrong. Impeachment is a formal process in which charges are brought against a high-ranking government official, such as a president, for alleged misconduct. It is similar to an indictment in a criminal trial. However, impeachment itself does not result in the removal from office. It is the subsequent trial and conviction by the Senate that may lead to the president being removed from office. Therefore, the correct answer is that when a president is impeached, he is accused of doing something wrong.

    • B.

    Correct Answer
    B. We inferred from his speech that he was unhappy with the arrangement.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "We inferred from his speech that he was unhappy with the arrangement." In this context, "implied" means that the speaker indirectly suggested or hinted at something, while "inferred" means that the listener or reader drew a conclusion or made an interpretation based on the speaker's words. Since the sentence is about understanding the speaker's feelings based on their speech, the correct word to use is "inferred."
