Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence? You will need counsel if you are accused of a serious crime.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct spelling of the word in the sentence should be 'counsel' instead of 'council.' 'Counsel' refers to legal advice or a person or group of people giving advice or guidance. The other choices ('accused,' 'serious,' 'crime') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The word 'his' in the sentence is referring to Mr. Karnicki's relatives, indicating possession. Therefore, the correct substitution should maintain the possessive form. 'His' is the appropriate possessive pronoun to use in this context, ensuring clarity and coherence in the sentence structure. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convey the possessive relationship between Mr. Karnicki and his relatives.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The phrase 'never seen' in the sentence is not used correctly. The correct phrase should be 'never seen,' which is the past participle form of the verb 'see.' In this context, 'seen' is the correct past participle to use with 'had never.' Choice A, 'Until his trip,' is correct as it sets the time frame. Choice B, 'had never,' is also correct as it indicates the past perfect tense. Choice D, 'his ancestral home,' is also used correctly as it refers to the place Javier had never seen before.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct word to use is 'them.' The subject of the sentence is 'the intern and another person,' indicating more than one individual. Therefore, the pronoun 'them' is the appropriate choice to refer to multiple people engaged in folding the bandages. Choice A ('us') is incorrect as it refers to the speaker and the intern, not the intern and another person. Choice B ('he') is singular and does not match the plural subject of the sentence. Choice D ('her') is also singular and does not agree with the plural subject 'the intern and another person.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In the context of the sentence, the word 'wound' is not used correctly. It should be 'wove' instead of 'wound.' The correct word usage should be: 'The staunch hikers took a torturous downhill path that wove through thick vegetation.' 'Wound' is the past tense of 'wind,' while 'wove' is the past tense of 'weave,' which is the appropriate verb to describe a path navigating through vegetation. Choice A, 'staunch,' Choice B, 'torturous,' and Choice D, 'vegetation,' are all used appropriately in the sentence and do not contain any errors.
