Which sentence is grammatically correct?
She doesn't like coffee.
She not likes coffee.
She doesn't likes coffee.
She don't like coffee.
The third-person singular subject "She" requires the auxiliary "doesn't" followed by the base verb "like". Options using "don't" or adding an '-s' after "doesn't" are incorrect.
What is the meaning of the idiom "break the ice"?
To cool down drinks
To initiate conversation in a social setting
To delay a meeting
To shatter ice physically
The idiom "break the ice" refers to initiating conversation or easing social tension. It does not involve physically shattering ice or delaying meetings.
In the sentence "He ______ to the store every Sunday.", which verb best fits the blank?
go
goes
going
gone
The sentence describes a habitual action by a third-person singular subject, so the correct form is "goes." Other forms do not agree in person and number.
Choose the word that is closest in meaning to "concise".
complicated
verbose
brief
ambiguous
"Concise" means expressing much in few words, making "brief" the closest synonym. The other options are antonyms or unrelated.
Fill in the blank: "She is interested _____ learning new languages."
in
of
on
for
The adjective "interested" is followed by the preposition "in." The other prepositions do not collocate correctly with "interested."
What does the idiom "hit the sack" mean?
To return something
To hit someone
To go to sleep
To initiate a fight
The idiom "hit the sack" is a colloquial way to say "go to sleep." It has nothing to do with fighting or returning items.
Despite heavy rain, the outdoor concert continued as scheduled. The performers had been preparing for months, and the audience refused to leave. What can be inferred about the audience?
They preferred indoors
They were committed to the event
They left before it ended
They disliked the rain
The fact that the audience refused to leave despite heavy rain suggests their commitment to the event. There is no indication they disliked the rain or left early.
Identify the correctly punctuated sentence.
My friend who lives in Paris, is visiting me.
My friend who lives in Paris is visiting me.
My friend, who lives in Paris is visiting me.
My friend, who lives in Paris, is visiting me.
The clause "who lives in Paris" is nonrestrictive and requires commas. Option B correctly places commas around the clause.
Choose the sentence with correct parallel structure.
She likes reading, to jog, and cooking.
She likes to read, jogging, and cook.
She likes reading, jogging, and cooking.
She likes read, jog, and cooked.
A parallel list requires all items in the same grammatical form. Option C uses gerunds consistently, while the others mix forms.
Listening excerpt: "Climate change poses a serious threat to global biodiversity, affecting habitats and species around the world." What is the main idea?
Only local species are at risk
Climate change threatens biodiversity
Habitats are unaffected
Biodiversity improves climate
The excerpt emphasizes the threat that climate change poses to biodiversity worldwide. It does not suggest benefits or limited impact.
Choose the word with a prefix meaning "not."
indifferent
preview
transport
redo
The prefix "in-" in "indifferent" means "not." The other prefixes (re-, pre-, trans-) do not carry a negation meaning.
In the sentence "She was literally dying of laughter," what is the error?
missing comma
misuse of "literally"
misuse of "dying"
incorrect tense
"Literally" is often misused for emphasis when no literal meaning applies. In this case, the speaker did not actually die of laughter.
Identify the antecedent of "it" in the sentence: "The thunder grew louder, but it did not scare the children."
the action
louder
children
thunder
The pronoun "it" refers back to "thunder," which is the subject that grew louder. The children cannot be the antecedent as they are being affected.
Choose the sentence that logically continues: "Maria studied all night for her exam."
He enjoys cooking Italian food.
As a result, she passed with flying colors.
The sun rises in the east.
Many birds migrate south.
The logical continuation presents the outcome of her studying, making option A the only coherent choice. The other options are unrelated facts.
Although the new policy aimed to promote sustainability, critics argue that it will disproportionately burden small businesses lacking resources to comply with the extensive regulations. What is a main criticism?
It is too lenient on large corporations
It overburdens small businesses with compliance
It favors small businesses
It removes all regulations
Critics claim the policy places a heavy compliance burden on small businesses with fewer resources. The other options misstate this critique.
What does the idiom "to throw someone under the bus" mean?
To impress an authority
To physically push them
To betray someone for personal gain
To rescue someone
"Throw someone under the bus" is an idiom meaning to betray or sacrifice someone to protect oneself. It does not involve physical action or heroism.
Choose the sentence that correctly uses the subjunctive mood.
If I be president, I would change the law.
If I am president, I would change the law.
If I were president, I would change the law.
If I was president, I would change the law.
The subjunctive mood for hypothetical situations uses "were" with first-person singular. The other options do not follow this rule.
Identify the assumption in the argument: "Eating breakfast increases concentration, therefore all students should eat breakfast."
Increased concentration leads to better performance
All students like breakfast
Only students have concentration issues
Eating breakfast always increases concentration
The argument assumes that eating breakfast always leads to increased concentration for all students. Without this assumption, the conclusion would not necessarily follow.
Spot the error: "Neither the coach nor the players was prepared for the sudden rule change."
Missing comma
Misuse of "neither"
Incorrect tense
Error in singular/plural agreement
With "neither...nor," the verb must agree with the nearer subject, "players," which is plural. Therefore, "were" should replace "was."
