Question 2 of 5
In the sentence, 'The job applicants were shown to an anteroom, where they wanted to be called for their interviews,' what is the meaning of the prefix 'ante'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The prefix 'ante' means 'before.' An anteroom is a room that comes before the main room, serving as a waiting area. In this context, 'ante' indicates a position or condition prior to something else happening, aligning with the idea that the job applicants were waiting to be called for their interviews in the anteroom.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct sentence is 'The handle was loose and could have fallen off at any moment.' The word 'loose' is the correct spelling to describe something not firmly fixed in place. The phrase 'could have fallen off' is the grammatically correct way to express the possibility of something falling. 'Could of' and 'could've' are frequently confused with 'could have,' which is the correct form. Therefore, option C is the only one that is both grammatically correct and accurately conveys the intended meaning.

Hence, focusing on punctuation enhances the overall quality of the writing, demonstrating attention to detail and dedication to producing a refined final product.
