Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Library. The sentence should read, "During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a librarian." The word "library" is incorrect as it should be "librarian" to refer to a person who works in a library. A, C, and D are grammatically correct as "an" is used before a vowel sound, "as" is a conjunction showing the relationship between his time in New York and his work, and "during" is a preposition indicating a period of time.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: Having." In this sentence, the verb form needs to be in the present participle form to show an ongoing action. "Having" is the present participle of the verb "have," which is used to indicate an action in progress. The other choices, A: Going, B: Go, and C: Have, do not fit the context of the sentence as they do not convey the continuous nature of the action required in this sentence. "Going" is a gerund, "Go" is the base form, and "Have" is the infinitive form, none of which are suitable for expressing ongoing action in this context.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: ilium. The ilium is one of the three bones that make up the hip bone (along with the ischium and pubis). It is the largest and most superior portion of the hip bone. The lateral portion of the hip bone is indeed the ilium. Choice B: ileum is incorrect because the ileum is part of the small intestine, not a bone in the hip. Choice C: icterus is incorrect because it refers to a medical condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, not a bone in the hip. Choice D: ileus is incorrect because it is a medical term that refers to a blockage in the intestines, not a bone in the hip.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct pronoun to complete the sentence is "Her" because it is used as an object pronoun to refer to a female person. In this context, the pronoun is likely replacing the name of a female individual. "Hers" is incorrect as it is a possessive pronoun, not suitable for the context. Choices C and D, "Best" and "More greatest," are adjectives and not pronouns, making them unsuitable for completing the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: apparent. In the sentence, 'overt' is used to describe signs that are not concealed but rather visible or obvious. Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might have the flu despite the absence of visible or obvious signs. 'Concealed' (A) means hidden, 'expert' (C) refers to a person with advanced knowledge, and 'delectable' (D) means delicious. These choices do not fit the context of the sentence.
