Question 3 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: After waking up, Dean eyed the cheesecake.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'hungrily.' In this sentence, 'hungrily' is an adverb that correctly describes how Dean eyed the cheesecake after waking up. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and in this context, 'hungrily' provides additional information about how Dean was looking at the cheesecake. The word 'hungry' (choice A) is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Hungriest' (choice B) is a superlative form of 'hungry' and is also incorrect in this context. 'More hungry' (choice D) is not the appropriate form to modify the action of 'eyed,' making it grammatically incorrect.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Felix was pleased ___ the progress he had made in his program.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: with.' The preposition 'with' is the appropriate choice to express satisfaction in relation to an accomplishment or progress. The sentence should read, 'Felix was pleased with the progress he had made in his program.' Options 'A: among,' 'C: regards,' and 'D: besides' do not fit the context of expressing satisfaction in this sentence.

Question 5 of 5

Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: He was _______ by her kind words.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'affected' is the correct choice. 'Affect' is a verb meaning to produce a change or influence something. 'Effect' is a noun meaning a change that is the result of an action or cause. 'Effected' is the past tense of 'effect' used as a verb, meaning to bring about or accomplish. In this context, the sentence requires a verb to show that he was influenced or impacted by her kind words, making 'affected' the appropriate word choice.
