Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: '
To go around.' Circumvent means to find a way around an obstacle or to avoid something by cleverness or deception.
Choice B, '
To go under,' is incorrect as circumvent does not involve going under something.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the plural form of the word 'chief'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'chiefs.' 'Chief' follows the standard rule for forming the plural by adding an 's' at the end.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the standard pluralization rule for the word 'chief.' 'Chieves,' 'chievs,' and 'chiefes' are not valid plural forms of 'chief.'
Question 3 of 5
In the sentence 'The very lively lady was riding a beautiful parade float,' what part of speech is 'lively'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 'Lively' is an adjective in this sentence as it describes the noun 'lady.' It is used to provide more information about the characteristics of the lady, indicating how she is lively. This makes 'adjective' the correct answer. The other options are incorrect: 'Verb' is a word that expresses an action or state of being, 'Adverb' modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, and 'Noun' is a person, place, thing, or idea.
Question 4 of 5
Because of all your running around, their clients are confused about who's in charge, and the company is losing its competitive edge. Which contraction should be used to correct the error?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct contraction to use in this sentence is 'who's,' which is short for 'who is.' In the given context, 'who's' indicates the correct possessive form, clarifying that the clients are confused about who is in charge.
Choice B, 'Whos,' is incorrect as it does not use an apostrophe to indicate the omitted letter.
Choice C, 'Who'll,' is incorrect as it is a contraction for 'who will,' which does not fit the context of the sentence.
Choice D, 'Who,' is incorrect as it is not a contraction and does not clarify the intended meaning of the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Select a verb that correctly completes the following sentence: ____________ not worry about it.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Do.' In the given sentence, the imperative form is used to give a command or instruction. The imperative form of the verb 'to do' is 'do,' which is commonly used in negative commands like 'Do not worry about it.'
Choices 'A: Is,' 'C: You,' and 'D: Was' do not fit grammatically or contextually in completing the sentence as they are not imperative verbs.
