The 6 sample questions as a list
-
Coach Lin made Ravi team captain because he was the most ______ player on the roster: he never missed a practice and kept every promise, big or small.
A) ambitious
B) reliable
C) boastful
D) humbleB) reliableCharacter & Behavior
Never missing practice and keeping every promise mean Ravi always comes through: reliable. Ambitious is tempting because he works hard, but ambitious is about chasing big dreams, while the clues here point to keeping promises. -
For her report on the first moon landing, Lena decided to ______ the astronaut's first words exactly as he spoke them, instead of retelling them in her own way.
A) express
B) pronounce
C) announce
D) quoteD) quoteSpeaking & Arguing
Lena wants the astronaut's first words on the page unchanged, inside quotation marks: she will quote him. Express is tempting, but expressing means getting your own thoughts and feelings across, and Lena wants his words, not hers. -
Two older students volunteered to ______ the kindergarten teacher on field day by carrying the water jugs and lining the little ones up for each race.
A) assist
B) encourage
C) inform
D) convinceA) assistActions & Effort
Carrying jugs and lining up children takes work off the teacher's hands: assist. Encourage is tempting, but encouraging would be cheering the teacher on, and these students are doing real work for the teacher. -

A) remainder
B) bulk
C) portion
D) majorityC) portionSize & Amount
One of eight equal wedges cut from one big pancake is each camper's portion. Remainder is tempting, but a remainder would be extra pancake still sitting on the plate after every camper was served. -

A) valuable
B) worthless
C) fragile
D) gentleA) valuableQuality & Judgment
A collector offering eight hundred dollars means the coin would sell for a high price: valuable. Worthless is tempting because it looks like "worth," but it means having no value at all, the opposite of that offer. -

A) initial
B) previous
C) partial
D) ultimateD) ultimateNature & Time
