    Choose the correct synonym for "happy."

    • Sad

    • Angry

    • Joyful

    • Tired

    Correct Answer
    A. Joyful
    Explanation
    A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. "Joyful" means the same as "happy." The other options (sad, angry, tired) do not have similar meanings to "happy."

    Which word is a noun?

    • Quickly

    • Beautiful

    • Apple

    • Run

    Correct Answer
    A. Apple
    Explanation
    A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. "Apple" is a thing, making it a noun, while the other options (quickly, beautiful, run) are not nouns. "Quickly" is an adverb, "beautiful" is an adjective, and "run" is a verb.

    Which sentence is correct?

    • She go to school every day.

    • She goes to school every day.

    • She going to school every day.

    • She goed to school every day.

    Correct Answer
    A. She goes to school every day.
    Explanation
    She goes to school every day is grammatically correct because "goes" is the proper verb form for the subject "she." The other sentences use incorrect verb forms or structures, making them grammatically incorrect.

    Which of these is a proper noun?

    • City

    • Dog

    • John

    Correct Answer
    A. John
    Explanation
    A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing. "John" is a specific person's name, making it a proper noun. The other options (city, dog, tree) are common nouns, not proper nouns.

    Identify the adverb in this sentence: "She sings beautifully."

    • Sings

    • She

    • Beautifully

    • She sings

    Correct Answer
    A. Beautifully
    Explanation
    An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. "Beautifully" describes how she sings, making it an adverb. "Sings" is a verb, "she" is a pronoun, and "she sings" is part of the sentence structure, not an adverb.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cat
    Explanation
    The subject of a sentence is who or what the sentence is about. "The cat" is the one performing the action of sleeping in the sentence "The cat slept on the mat." "Slept" is the verb, "mat" is the object, and "the" is an article.

    Correct Answer
    A. Quick
    Explanation
    An adjective describes a noun. "Quick" describes the noun "fox," making it an adjective. The other options (jumps, over, dog) are not adjectives. "Jumps" is a verb, "over" is a preposition, and "dog" is a noun.

The other options have different meanings: "pear" is a fruit, "pare" means to trim or cut down, and "peir" is an archaic word for a type of dock or landing place.
