Question 1 of 5

Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. The intern had to select _________ three specialties.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'among'. When choosing from more than two items, the preposition 'among' is used. In this case, 'among' is the appropriate choice as the intern had to select from three specialties, indicating a selection from a group rather than a choice between two specific options. Choice B, 'between', is incorrect because it is used when choosing between two items. Choice C, 'with', and choice D, 'along', are also incorrect as they do not convey the idea of choosing from a group of items.

Question 2 of 5

Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. It is important that one is able to self-motivate and work by ___________.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The word 'oneself' is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, allowing the sentence to be grammatically correct. Options B and C, 'oneselves' and 'hisself,' are not standard English words. Option D, 'themselves,' is a plural pronoun and does not agree with the singular noun 'one' in the sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Which sentence is the clearest?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Option B, 'When I was seven, my mother moved me to a new school,' is the clearest sentence as it directly and clearly states that when the speaker was seven, their mother moved them to a new school. This sentence clearly indicates the age of the speaker and who initiated the action, making it the most precise and easy to understand among the choices. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they either incorrectly position the age or the action initiator, leading to ambiguity and confusion in the sentence.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase that is misplaced in the following sentence: The book is in my locker at school that is long overdue.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The phrase 'that is long overdue' is misplaced in the sentence as it disrupts the flow. Placing it after 'The book' would enhance clarity and coherence. This adjustment ensures the phrase directly describes the book rather than the school, improving the logical and coherent connection within the sentence structure. Choices A, B, and C are correctly positioned and contribute to a clear and coherent sentence about the location of the book.

Question 5 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Miguel and I are waiting to ___________ with the doctor.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The verb 'meet' is the correct option in this context as it completes the sentence structure 'waiting to meet with the doctor' in a grammatically correct way. The sentence requires an infinitive verb form to convey the intended meaning of Miguel and I waiting to have a meeting or appointment with the doctor. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'be met' changes the meaning, 'meeting' is a gerund form which doesn't fit the sentence structure, and 'met' is a past tense form that doesn't match the present tense context of the sentence.
