  • 2. 

    Most of the milk _____ gone bad. Six gallons of milk _______ still in the refrigerator.

    • Has ---- are

    • Have ---- is

    Correct Answer
    A. Has ---- are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has ---- are" because "most of the milk" is a singular subject, so it should be paired with the singular verb "has." On the other hand, "six gallons of milk" is a plural subject, so it should be paired with the plural verb "are."

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Rice and beans, my favorite dish, __________ me of my native Puerto Rico.

    • Remind

    • Reminds

    Correct Answer
    A. Reminds
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "reminds." In this sentence, the subject "Rice and beans" is plural, so the verb should also be plural to agree with it. Therefore, "reminds" is incorrect as it is singular. However, "reminds" is the correct form as it agrees with the plural subject and completes the sentence grammatically.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Whine - A long high-pitched plaintive cry or moan

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given answer is true because a whine is indeed a long high-pitched plaintive cry or moan. It is a sound that is typically associated with expressing dissatisfaction, discomfort, or pain. Whining is often characterized by a repetitive and nasal tone, making it easily recognizable. Therefore, it is accurate to say that a whine is a long high-pitched plaintive cry or moan.

    Carlos is the only one of those students who __________ lived up to the potential described in the yearbook.

    • Has

    • Have

    Correct Answer
    A. Has
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has". This is because Carlos is a singular subject, so the verb "has" agrees with the singular subject. The word "lived" is also in past tense, which further supports the use of "has" as the correct verb form.

    Acronyms - Crossword

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. Acronyms are not typically used in crossword puzzles. Crossword puzzles are typically designed to test knowledge of words and their definitions, so using acronyms would not align with the purpose of the puzzle. Instead, crossword puzzles usually focus on using complete words and phrases as clues and answers.

    A large number of voters still ___________ along straight-party lines.

    • Vote

    • Votes

    Correct Answer
    A. Vote
    Explanation
    A large number of voters still vote along straight-party lines. This means that they consistently vote for all the candidates from a single political party, without considering the individual merits or policies of each candidate. This behavior indicates a strong party loyalty and a tendency to prioritize party affiliation over other factors when making voting decisions.

    Explanation
    The given statement is true. When someone is described as cynical, it means that they have a general distrust or skepticism towards the motives of others. They tend to believe that people are primarily motivated by self-interest and are therefore suspicious of others' intentions. This attitude can lead to a negative and disparaging view of others.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Bustle - an error in naming a person or thing

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that a large portion of the population is supporting and voting for the establishment of a new school. This indicates that there is significant public interest and demand for improved educational facilities. The word "high" implies that the percentage is substantial, further reinforcing the idea that the new school is receiving widespread support from the community.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Cynical - Birth mark or Mole

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    There is no logical or factual connection between being cynical and having a birthmark or mole. Cynicism refers to a skeptical or distrustful attitude towards others' motives, whereas a birthmark or mole is a physical characteristic that has no relation to one's personality or beliefs. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

    Mujuscule - Capital or Big Letter

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is False. The term "mujuscule" is not commonly used in the English language and does not have a widely accepted meaning. It is likely a misspelling or a made-up word. Therefore, it cannot be definitively stated that "mujuscule" means "capital or big letter".

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    • Pigish

    • Piggish

    • Gaet

    Correct Answer
    A. Piggish
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Piggish" because it is a synonym for both "Greedy" and "Gluttonous". "Piggish" describes someone who is excessively greedy or eats in a gluttonous manner, similar to a pig. "Gait" and "Gaet" are not related to the given words and do not have the same meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Wimple - Vail

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    The given answer is true because "Wimple" and "Vail" are both nouns that refer to types of head coverings. A wimple is a cloth worn over the head and around the neck, typically by women in medieval times. A vail is a piece of fine material worn by women to cover the head or shoulders. Therefore, it is correct to say that "Wimple - Vail" is true, as they both relate to head coverings.

    Explanation
    Rejuvenescence refers to the process of renewing or restoring youthful characteristics.

    Not only the students but also their instructor ________ been called to the principal's office.

    • Have

    • Has

    Correct Answer
    A. Has
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has" because when using the phrase "not only...but also," the verb agrees with the noun closest to it. In this case, "instructor" is the closest noun to the verb, so it should be singular. Therefore, "has" is the correct form of the verb.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    A high percentage of the people was voting for the new school.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

    The given statement is grammatically incorrect. The subject "percentage" is singular, so the verb "was" should be "were." Additionally, the word "people" should be pluralized to match the verb. The correct statement would be "A high percentage of the people were voting for the new school." Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:
