Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'will be delighted.' In this context, the sentence is expressing a future possibility of graduating early, so the phrase 'will be delighted' in the future tense is the most appropriate choice to match the context. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not convey the future tense needed in this sentence. Choice A ('are delighted') is in the present tense, choice B ('were delighted') is in the past tense, and choice D ('will have been delighted') uses a more complex future perfect tense which is not necessary in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'enthusiastic' is used incorrectly in the sentence. It should be 'enthusiastic' instead of 'enthusiastically' since it is describing Jeremiah's state of being, not an action he performed. Adverbs like 'enthusiastically' are used to modify verbs, not adjectives like 'enthusiastic'. The other choices ('seemed,' 'astonishing,' 'success') are all used appropriately in the sentence and do not need any correction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Despite.' 'Despite' is the best word to use in the sentence because it shows a contrast between Lorene having finished her coursework and her expectation to spend another year on campus. The word 'Despite' signals that there is an unexpected or contrary situation, emphasizing the contradiction between the two parts of the sentence. 'Although' (choice B) introduces a contrast but is not as strong as 'Despite' in highlighting the contradiction. 'Thus' (choice C) and 'However' (choice D) do not convey the intended contrast needed in this context, making them incorrect choices.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: broken.' In this sentence, the word 'broken' is the past participle form of the verb 'break' and is needed to complete the present perfect tense. The correct sentence should be 'The girls have apparently broken curfew at least twice this week.' Choices A, B, and C do not fit grammatically in the sentence because 'broke' is the simple past tense, 'break' is the base form, and 'breaking' is the present participle, whereas the sentence requires the past participle 'broken' for the present perfect tense.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'envelope' is used incorrectly in the sentence. The correct word should be 'folder,' as mentioned in the original sentence. An envelope is a flat paper container for a letter or documents, while a folder is a folded cover for papers or documents. 'Give,' 'whoever,' and 'replies' are all used appropriately in the sentence, so they are not the incorrect words.
