KEY
1.The correct answer is loose.
Definitions: -loose - adj. Not fastened, restrained, or contained;
-lose - v. To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of; to fail; to rid oneself of; to suffer loss
2. The correct answer is breath.
Explanation: Breath is a noun; breathe is a verb. If you use the word breathe, the "sentence" would contain two
verbs and no noun and, therefore, would be incomplete. Take is an action verb. Breath is what is being taken here.
3. The correct answer is hearty.
Definitions: -hardy - being in robust and good sturdy health; courageous
-hearty - vigorous; robust
4. The correct answer is your.
Definitions: -you're - contraction of you are
-your - adj. used as a modifier before a noun; the possessive form of you
Explanation:It is your test because you possess the test.
Did you know? The word would [will] is an auxiliary verb, or helping verb. An auxiliary verb is a verb that
accompanies the main verb in a clause and helps to make distinctions in mood, voice, aspect, or tense. In this
sentence, study is the main verb, and would is helping distinguish tense. Study is a present tense verb. However, by
using the auxiliary verb would before it, the tense is changed to future.
5. The correct answer is went / me.
Definitions: -gone - v. past participle of go
-went - v. past tense of go
Explanation: Past participles are used for perfect forms of the verb. Perfect forms use auxiliary verbs before the
main verb (See "Did you know?" in question 4's explanation). You can say "He had gone" or "He should have
gone", but you cannot use the verb gone without an auxiliary verb. Went is simply past tense of the word go.
Therefore, went is the correct choice.
The words I and me can sometimes get confusing. There are two rules that make using these two words very
simple.
1) Never put yourself first.
2) Remove the other person from the equation.
In this sentence, remove Naomi. Would you say "He went to the banquet with I", or "He went to the banquet with
me"? Me is the correct choice in this sentence.
6. The correct answer is She / I.
Definitions: -her - pron. the objective case of she
-she - used to refer to a woman or girl
Explanation:When there are two pronouns, split the pronoun, making two sentences using each pronoun alone.
(See the Explanation in question 5.) "Her left at 7 o'clock" is incorrect. "She left at 7 o'clock" is correct. "I left at 7
o'clock" is correct. "Me left at 7 o'clock" is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is "She and I left at 7 o'clock."
7.The correct answer is It's.
Definitions: it's - contraction of it is ;its - possessive pronoun
Explanation: There is nothing in this sentence for it to possess. In addition, if you use the word its in this sentence,
there would be no verb, which would make it an incomplete clause. "It is impolite to stare" is a complete sentence.
Therefore it's is the correct choice.
8. The correct answer is There / their.
Definitions:
their - adj. the possessive form of they, used as a modifier before a noun
there - pron. used to introduce a clause or sentence
they're - contraction of they are
Explanation:There is used to introduce a clause or sentence; therefore, the correct answer must be c or d. Their is
an adjective modifying a noun. In this case, tests is the noun, and their describes whose tests. Therefore, the correct
sentence is "There were 50 questions on their tests".

9. The correct answer is their.
Explanation: See Definitions and Explanation in question 8 for usage of the words their and there.
10. The correct answer is they're / than.
Definitions: than is comparative; then is chronological or consequential
Explanation: See Definitions and Explanation in question 8 for usage of the words their and they're.
In this sentence, we are comparing how smart they are and how smart you think they are, so we use the word than.
Then is used when referring to time or consequences.
Example: If you think there is going to be traffic, then leave sooner than you normally do."
Then is referring to the consequences relating to traffic. Than is comparing leaving sooner and leaving when you
normally do.
11. The correct answer is principal.
Definitions:
principal - n. one who holds a position of presiding rank, especially the head of an elementary school or high
school.
principle - n. a basic truth, law, or assumption
12. The correct answer is there / morale.
Definitions:
moral - n. a concisely expressed precept or general truth; a maxim
morale - n. he state of the spirits of a person or group as exhibited by confidence, cheerfulness, discipline, and
willingness to perform assigned tasks
See Definitions and Explanation in question 8 for usage of the words they're and there.
13. The correct answer is Who's / whose.
Definitions: -who's - contraction of who is
-whose - the possessive form of who or which
Explanation: The subject of this sentence is who. If we answered the question with a complete sentence, we could
say, "Bob is an actor, and his wife is deaf." Bob would be the subject of that sentence, and he possesses a deaf wife.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Who's the actor whose wife is deaf?"
14. The correct answer is accept.
Definitions: -accept - v. tr. to receive; to admit; to endure; to consent
-except - v. tr. to leave out
15. The correct answer is medal.
Definitions:
medal - n. a flat piece of metal stamped with a design or an inscription commemorating an event or a person, often
given as an award
meddle - v. interfere unwantedly
metal - n. any of a category of electropositive elements that usually have a shiny surface, are generally good
conductors of heat and electricity, and can be melted or fused, hammered into thin sheets, or drawn into wires
mettle - n. courage and fortitude; spirit; inherent quality of character
16. The correct answer is paid.
Definitions:
paid - past tense and past participle of pay - to give in exchange for
payed - past tense and past participle of pay - to let out by slackening; to coat or cover
17. The correct answer is two / to.
to - prep. in a direction toward so as to reach
too - also
two - the number 2
18. The correct answer is yolks.
Definitions:
yoke - n. something that connects or joins together
yolk - n. the yellow portion of an egg of a bird or reptile

19. The correct answer is passed / past.
Definitions:
passed - v. past tense of pass - to go by; to go beyond; to go across
past - n. the time before the present
Explanation:
He went by her on the street at some time before the present.
20. The correct answer is bare.
Definitions:
bare - adj. just sufficient; mere
bear - v. or n. with many different meanings
Explanation:
In this sentence, the noun essentials is being described. Bare is describing what kind of essentials to bring on the
trip. Bear is not an adjective, therefore it cannot be used to describe the noun essentials.
21. The correct answer is advise.
Definitions:
advice - n. opinion about what could or should be done about a situation or problem; counsel
advise - v. to offer advice to; counsel
22. The correct answer is complement.
Definitions:
complement - n. something added to complete or make perfect
compliment - n. an expression of praise, admiration, or congratulation.
23. The correct answer is seen / saw.
Definitions:
saw - v. past tense of see
seen - v. past participle of see
Explanation:
A past participle in perfect tense requires a helping verb, or auxiliary verb (had, in this case), and the pure past tense
of a verb does not use auxiliary verbs. (About auxiliary verbs - see Did You Know? in question 4's Explanation)
24. The correct answer is device.
Definitions:
device - n. a contrivance or invention serving a particular purpose
devise - v. to design or contrive
25. The correct answer is risky.
Definitions: -risky - adj. accompanied by or involving risk or danger; hazardous

29. The correct answer is assure / insure.
Definitions:
assure - v. to inform positively, as to remove doubt
ensure - v. to make certain of
insure - v. to provide or arrange insurance (a protective measure) for
30. The correct answer is ; / better.
Definitions:
best - adj. superlative of good; surpassing all others in quality; most satisfactory
better - adj. comparative of good
Explanation: A comma or a period would work after the word tasty, but the first part of this sentence tests your
usage of the colon and the semicolon. A colon is used to introduce something. The first part of the sentence, the
salad is tasty, is not introducing anything. It is just a statement. Here is an example of one way to properly use a
colon: this sentence. Before the colon, I introduced you to the idea of an example, and after the colon, I gave you
the example. A semicolon is used to connect two complete sentences. The taste of the salad and the taste of the
soup are two separate ideas. Therefore, the semicolon is correct. "This sentence" is not a complete sentence, so you
could not use a semicolon in the example sentence. You could, however, use a colon if the sentence was: "The salad
was good, but there was something even better: the soup." I introduced the idea of something better, then after the
colon, I told you what it was.
The word best is superlative, being used in comparison to all others in a category, or at least more than two. Better
is used when comparing two items.
31. The correct answer is hanged.
Definitions:
hanged - v. past tense of hang; to suspend by the neck until dead
hung - v. past tense of hang; to fasten from above with no support from below
Hanged is used when referring to death by hanging. Hung is used in all other senses of the word.
32. The correct answer is effect / economic.
Definitions:
affect - n. feeling or emotion
effect - n. something brought about by a cause or agent; a result
economic - adj. of or relating to an ecomomy
economical - adj. prudent and thrifty in management; not wasteful or extravagant
Explanation:Here's a little hint: when the word on is after affect/effect, the correct word is always effect.
33. The correct answer is All of the above.
Definitions:
awhile - adv. for a short time
while - n. a period of time
Explanation:Because the word awhile is an adverb, it cannot be used in a prepositional phrase. "for awhile" would
be incorrect. Since while is a noun, it can be used with or without the preposition for. Therefore, all three are
correct.
34. The correct answer is further / than.
Explanation:
farther - comparative used for physcial distance
further - comparative used for nonphysical, metaphorical advancement
35. The correct answer is whomever.
Definitions:
who - pron. which person - used subjectively
whom - pron. the objective case of who
Explanation:Whom is always used when it is the object of a preposition. Who is used as a suject and when a
pronoun such as I or he could replace who. Here is an easy little trick to differentiate between who and whom:
Replace the questionable word with he or him. If you would replace it with he, use who. If you would replace it
with him, use whom.

36. The correct answer is Naval.
Definitions:
Navel - n. the mark on the surface of the abdomen where the umbilical cord was attached; bellybutton
