Test: Use The Right Word! Quiz - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    A team might _____ think it has the best players possible.

    • All ready

    • Already

    Correct Answer
    A. Already
    Explanation
    The word "already" is the correct answer because it is used to indicate that something has happened or been done before the present time. In this context, it suggests that the team believes it already has the best players possible, implying that they may not need to make any changes or improvements.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Some players are on the field for a greater _____ of time than other players.

    • Number

    • Amount

    Correct Answer
    A. Amount
    Explanation
    The word "amount" is the correct answer because it is used to quantify something that cannot be counted individually. In this context, it refers to the duration or length of time that players spend on the field. "Number" would be incorrect as it is used to count individual items or people, whereas "amount" is used for non-countable quantities like time.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    When the team is _____ in the locker room, the coach encourages the players to do their best.

    • Altogether

    • All together

    Correct Answer
    A. All together
    Explanation
    In this context, "all together" means that the team is united and working as a cohesive unit. The coach is encouraging the players to work together and give their best effort collectively. "Altogether" means completely or entirely, which doesn't fit the sentence as it doesn't convey the sense of unity or collaboration that the coach is trying to inspire in the team. Therefore, the correct answer is "all together".

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    On the day of the game, professionals must be _____ to play.

    • Already

    • All ready

    Correct Answer
    A. All ready
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all ready". This phrase means that the professionals must be fully prepared or fully equipped to play on the day of the game. It implies that they have completed all necessary preparations and are ready to participate in the game.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The _____ of professional football teams has grown over the last 30 years.

    • Amount

    • Number

    Correct Answer
    A. Number
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "number". This is because when referring to professional football teams, we typically count the teams rather than measure them in terms of quantity. Therefore, the appropriate word to use in this context is "number".

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    If they play well, their team's _____ in the rankings may mean a trip to the Super Bowl.

    • Assent

    • Ascent

    Correct Answer
    A. Ascent
    Explanation
    If they play well, their team's ascent in the rankings may mean a trip to the Super Bowl. This means that if the team performs well and moves up in the rankings, they have a higher chance of qualifying for the Super Bowl. "Ascent" refers to the act of moving upwards or progressing, which makes sense in the context of the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    In that case, it is _____ possible that they will be the champions.

    • Altogether

    • All together

    Correct Answer
    A. Altogether
    Explanation
    The word "altogether" means completely or entirely. In this context, it suggests that there is a high probability or certainty that they will be the champions. The phrase "all together" means everyone or everything in a group, which does not make sense in this sentence. Therefore, the correct word to use is "altogether."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A quarterback needs the _____ of all the players to make a successful play.

    • Ascent

    • Assent

    Correct Answer
    A. Assent
    Explanation
    A quarterback needs the assent of all the players to make a successful play. Assent refers to the agreement or approval of something, in this case, the quarterback needs the agreement or cooperation of all the players on the team to execute a successful play. The word ascent, on the other hand, refers to the act of climbing or rising, which is not applicable in this context.
