The 6 sample questions as a list
-
Lucia is always ______: she remembered that her grandfather has trouble hearing in noisy places, so she reserved a quiet corner table for his birthday dinner.
A) thoughtful
B) eager
C) stubborn
D) bashfulA) thoughtfulCharacter & Behavior
Remembering her grandfather's trouble hearing and picking a table to suit him shows someone who cares enough to notice what others need: thoughtful. Bashful is tempting because a shy person might like a quiet corner, but bashful describes someone who blushes and goes quiet around people, especially new ones, and Lucia chose the table for him, not for herself. -
Before trying the dance himself, Kenji spent a whole lesson sitting in the corner just to ______ the steps, his eyes following every turn the older dancers made.
A) observe
B) modify
C) detect
D) predictA) observeThinking & Knowing
Watching closely for a whole lesson, his eyes following every turn, is to observe the steps. Detect is tempting because Kenji is using his eyes, but you detect things that are hard to notice, like a faint hum or a crack hidden behind a shelf, and the dancers' steps were right in front of him. -
Again and again, the clerk at the pet store ______ the boy in the red cap to stop tapping on the glass, but he kept at it until the frightened gecko hid behind a rock.
A) permitted
B) urged
C) challenged
D) convincedB) urgedSpeaking & Arguing
Telling the boy again and again, strongly, to stop tapping is to urge him. Convinced is tempting, but convincing someone means winning them over, so they end up agreeing or doing what you asked, and this boy kept tapping until the gecko hid. -
Instead of selling the retired school bus, the town ______ it, and now it is a library on wheels, with bookshelves where the rows of seats used to be.
A) adjusted
B) restored
C) strengthened
D) convertedD) convertedChange & Growth
Giving the bus a whole new job, as a library, is to convert it. Restored is tempting because the old bus was saved, but restoring undoes damage or change so the old version is back, and the bus was never a library before. -
The camera's shutter stayed open for just a ______ of a second, so briefly that the photo froze every drop of the splash in midair.
A) fraction
B) remainder
C) minority
D) dimensionA) fractionSize & Amount
Open so briefly that every drop is frozen in midair means open for a tiny part of a second: a fraction of a second. Remainder is tempting because it is also a math word, but a remainder is the bit you still have once the rest is used up, and nothing is left over here. -
Mrs. Albright, the town librarian, saved the ______ job of gluing the torn page back into a two-hundred-year-old book for a quiet afternoon: one careless tug, and the brittle paper could crumble to dust.
A) rigid
B) fragile
C) mild
D) delicateD) delicateNature & Time
A job where one careless tug could ruin the page needs careful handling: it is a delicate job. Fragile is tempting because the old paper breaks easily, but fragile describes something that can break, the paper, not the careful job of fixing it.
