Question 1
1 / -0

Which is the BEST way to revise the sentence labeled (9)?

A
A footrace may be a well - known reason enough to get a runner to be a part of the tradition or running in the peachtree

B
A footrace in the South on the 4th , down a famous steets , may be a reason to get a runner to be a part of the tradition of alone

C

D
A footrace down onew of Atlasnts's most famous streets on the fourth of july might be enough to make a runner want be become part of the Peachtree tradition

Solution

Answer
D
Explanation:
A seems to say that a footrace is a well know reason
B has an awkward arrangement; for example the placement of "alone" after "tradition" makes it difficult to see what "alone" is trying to modify.
C also seems to indicate that the "footrace alone" (without qualifications of time or place) is enough of a reason to run.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

Since the accountant knew ______ much about their illegal dealings, they tried to have him fired.

A
too

B
very

C
much

D
or

Solution

We often confuse the two adverbs- 'very' and 'too'. Both these words sit before adjectives or adverbs and consequently modify them. However, “very” does not have a negative meaning, while “too” does. So, if I say the test was 'very' difficult, it can be assumed that the test was challenging, but I still managed to do it. In contrast, if I say, the test was 'too' difficult, it feels that I'm worried that I may fail.
The phrase 'know too much' means to be in possession of too much important or confidential information. In this case the accountant is in possession of some very confidential information. 'Very' does not justify this context. Thus, Option A is correct and Option B is not. The other options cancel out because they are irrelevant to the context.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

I guess I pushed him _____ far, because he began shouting at me.

A
very

B
much

C
too

D
of

Solution

We often confuse the two adverbs- 'very' and 'too'. Both these words sit before adjectives or adverbs and consequently modify them. However, “very” does not have a negative meaning, while “too” does. Pushing someone very far and that person starts shouting is something illogical and doesn't make proper sense. Pushing someone 'too' far means to challenge someone's patience which ultimately gives way when things cross a certain limit. Hence, Option C is correct and Option A is not. The other options don't make any sense, so they cancel out.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

The added security features on the new phone proved to be _____ much of a good thing, making it incredibly difficult for even the owner to access the device.

A
such

B
too

C
much

D
if

Solution

The phrase 'too much of a good thing' means an excessive, harmful amount of something that could have otherwise been enjoyable or beneficial. In this case, the features of the phone proved to be too critical. So, option B is correct and the others cancel out.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

You got here none _____ soon-a moment later, and we would have missed the flight!

A
such

B
too

C
much

D
of

Solution

The phrase 'none too soon' means just in time. In this case, had the person been a little more late, the entire team would have missed the flight. So, Option B is correct and the other options cancel out because they do not construct the phrase properly.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the option that replaces the phrase in quotes with the correct idiomatic expression.

Even though they came from vastly different backgrounds, it was as if the two were 'joined in the hip'.

A
Joined in the minds

B
Disjoined in the hip

C
Joined at the hip

D
Joined in the past

Solution

The option that best describes the closeness indicated in the sentence, in spite of the vastly different backgrounds, is option C) Joined at the hip.
'In the hip' would mean 'inside the hip' whereas 'in the mind' and 'in the past' are not relevant in the context of the sentence.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning of the idiom/phrase.

To talk shop

A
Talk about one's profession

B
Talk about shopping

C
Ridicule

D
Treat lightly

Solution

To talk shop means to talk about one’s occupation. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the option that completes the sentence correctly.
He will need ______ life more.

A
To learn enjoying

B
Learning to enjoy

C
To learn to enjoy

D
Learning to enjoying

Solution

Modal verbs do not change tense, which is usually in the simple present. Options A,B and D change the tenses of the modal verbs "to learn to enjoy". Hence, Option C, which keeps it unchanged, is the only correct option.
Question 9
1 / -0

Select the word that can be substituted for the given phrase.
An office with pay but little responsibility

A
sinecure

B
presidency

C
factotum

D
plutocracy

Solution

Option A is the correct answer because “sinecure” means a position requiring little or no work but giving the holder status or financial benefit.
Option B is incorrect because “presidency” means the position of a president, which doesn’t match to the statement given.
Option C is incorrect because “factotum” means somebody who does all the work, all kinds of work, so it doesn’t match with the given statement.
Option D is incorrect because “plutocracy” means a state or government being governed by the wealthy, hence it’s incorrect .
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning of the idiom/phrase.

To fall flat

A
To retreat

B
To meet accidentally

C
To fail

D
To be met with a cold reception

Solution

The idiom “To fall flat” means to be unable to be ineffective or achieve the desired result, or in other words, meet failure. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.
