The 6 sample questions as a list
-
While Mr. Alvarez is away for the summer, looking after his house is Jada's job, so she is ______ for feeding his goldfish and watering his tomato plants.
A) reliable
B) responsible
C) grateful
D) eagerB) responsibleCharacter & Behavior
"Jada's job" and the word "for" point to the fish being hers to take care of while he is away: responsible. Reliable is tempting, since a good house-sitter should be, but reliable says she can be trusted, not whose job the fish are. -
Ana wrote a polite ______ to the city library, asking whether it could stay open one hour later during the two weeks before final exams.
A) comment
B) protest
C) request
D) complimentC) requestSpeaking & Arguing
Asking for something with good manners is a request. Comment is tempting because Ana wrote to the library, but a comment gives an opinion, and Ana is asking for later hours. -
Climbing the steep north trail with heavy packs was a real ______ that tested the scouts' strength, but every one of them reached the top before sunset.
A) obstacle
B) challenge
C) reward
D) delayB) challengeActions & Effort
Something difficult that "tested" their strength is a challenge. Obstacle is tempting, but an obstacle blocks the way to a goal, and here the climb is the goal itself. -
Of the twenty-eight students in the class, nineteen voted for the zoo trip, so the ______ got their wish and the museum trip would have to wait until spring.
A) minority
B) quantity
C) fraction
D) majorityD) majoritySize & Amount
Nineteen of twenty-eight is more than half the votes: the majority. Minority is tempting because it is also part of a group, but it means the smaller part, the nine who wanted the museum. -
The bakery's owner sets a high ______ for her bread: any loaf that comes out even slightly burnt or flat is given away instead of sold.
A) method
B) tradition
C) budget
D) standardD) standardQuality & Judgment
Giving away any loaf that is slightly burnt or flat shows how good the bakery expects its bread to be: a high standard. Method is tempting, but a method is a series of steps you follow, and it cannot be "high." -
No ______ experience is needed to join the chess club; on the very first day, the coaches teach every new member how each piece moves.
A) initial
B) eventual
C) ultimate
D) priorD) priorNature & Time
Experience gained before joining is earlier experience: no prior experience is needed. Initial is tempting because both deal with beginnings, but initial means coming at the start, before anything else happens; the clue is what came before the first day.
