    • Me

    • Myself

    • Mine

    • My

    Correct Answer
    A. Myself
    Explanation
    The word "myself" is the correct answer because it is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, "I." In this sentence, the subject "I" is performing the action of shaving on themselves, so the reflexive pronoun "myself" is used to indicate this.

    A. Prepare for
    Explanation
    The sentence is discussing the idea of preparing for an exam. The phrase "prepare for" is the most suitable option as it accurately conveys the action of getting ready for an exam. "Rest on" does not make sense in this context as it implies relying on something rather than actively preparing. "Cram" could be an option, but it suggests a last-minute and rushed approach to studying, while "prepare for" implies a more organized and thorough preparation.

In the sentence, "He tried to walk the entire length of the hall by himself, but had to call for assistance halfway down," the verb "walk" is the appropriate choice to indicate the action of moving on foot. The other options, "wake," "walking," and "waking," do not fit grammatically or contextually in the sentence.

    A. Me
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "me" because it is the objective pronoun that is used as the object of the preposition "with" in the sentence. "I" is the subjective pronoun and cannot be used as the object of a preposition. "Myself" is a reflexive pronoun and does not fit grammatically in this sentence. "Ourself" is not a correct pronoun and is not grammatically appropriate in this context.

    The correct answer is "Cranium". The cranium is the part of the skull that encloses and protects the brain.

"Spine" refers to the vertebral column, "Ability" refers to a person's capacity to do something, and "Zygote" refers to a fertilized egg.

    • Going

    • To go

    • Go

    Correct Answer
    A. Going
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "going." In this sentence, "afraid of" is followed by a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun. "Going" is the gerund form of the verb "go," and it correctly completes the sentence by expressing the action of "going to the doctor" that the person is afraid of. "Have gone," "to go," and "go" are not gerunds and do not fit grammatically in this context.

    Explanation
    The patient asked the doctor to help him complete the form needed to approve the surgery. In this sentence, "form" is the correct answer because the patient needs assistance in filling out a document or form that is required for the surgery to be approved. The other options, "from," "pillow," and "syringe," do not fit the context of the sentence and do not make it grammatically correct.
