    Correct Answer

  • 6. 

    The cost of living is steadily __________.

    • Risen

    • Rising

    • Raising

    • Arising

    Correct Answer
    A. Rising
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "rising" because the phrase "steadily" indicates a continuous increase in the cost of living. The word "risen" is the past participle form and does not convey the ongoing nature of the increase. "Raising" and "arising" are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the upward movement of the cost of living.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    We wanted to ________ that the contract was completely legally binding.

    • Insure

    • Assure

    • Ensure

    • Make assure

    Correct Answer
    A. Ensure
    Explanation
    The word "ensure" means to make certain or guarantee something. In the given sentence, the speaker wants to convey that they wanted to make sure that the contract was completely legally binding. The word "insure" refers to protecting against financial loss, so it does not fit the context. "Assure" means to reassure or give confidence, but it does not convey the idea of making something certain. "Make assure" is not a grammatically correct phrase. Therefore, "ensure" is the correct answer.

    A. To
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to". "Accustomed" is followed by the preposition "to" to indicate familiarity or habit. In this sentence, it means that the subject is used to or familiar with starting work at 9am.

    Correct Answer
    A. Besides
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Besides." This word is used to indicate that Sally is the only person who could complete the task, emphasizing her unique ability or suitability for the job. It suggests that there is no one else who could do it.

    Explanation
    The correct word is "Who's," which is a contraction of "who is." This interrogative pronoun is used to ask about the person responsible for the accounts department reports. The other options are incorrect because they either have a different meaning or are not grammatically appropriate in this context.
