Sample English & Language questions

From free papers. Try each one before you open the answer.

1. Question 1 · English & Language Practice Set 1

   Choose the word opposite in meaning to AFFLUENT.

   1. A. ostentatious
   2. B. prosperous
   3. C. impoverished
   4. D. generous
   Show the answer

   C. impoverished

   'Affluent' means wealthy; 'impoverished' means made poor. 'Prosperous' is a synonym.

2. Question 2 · English & Language Practice Set 1

   Spot the error. Choose the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error; if there is none, choose 'No error'. (Part 1) The accused has been / (Part 2) absconding / (Part 3) since last Monday.

   1. A. No error
   2. B. Part 3
   3. C. Part 1
   4. D. Part 2
   Show the answer

   A. No error

   The sentence is correct. The present perfect continuous with 'since' and a point of time ('last Monday') describes an action begun in the past and continuing now.

3. Question 3 · English & Language Practice Set 1

   Spot the error. Choose the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error; if there is none, choose 'No error'. (Part 1) Neither the manager nor his assistants / (Part 2) was present / (Part 3) at the meeting yesterday.

   1. A. Part 2
   2. B. Part 3
   3. C. No error
   4. D. Part 1
   Show the answer

   A. Part 2

   When subjects are joined by 'neither ... nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject. 'Assistants' is plural, so 'were present' is required.

4. Question 4 · English & Language Practice Set 1

   Fill in the blank with the correct option. The magistrate dispensed ___ the personal attendance of the accused.

   1. A. of
   2. B. from
   3. C. off
   4. D. with
   Show the answer

   D. with

   The phrasal verb 'dispense with' means to do without or to waive. 'Dispense of', 'dispense off' and 'dispense from' are not used in this sense.

5. Question 5 · English & Language Practice Set 1

   Choose the alternative that best replaces the underlined part (shown in capitals). Choose 'No improvement' if the sentence is correct as it stands. After twenty years at the Bar, the senior counsel is used TO WORK late into the night before a hearing.

   1. A. to working
   2. B. No improvement
   3. C. with work
   4. D. for working
   Show the answer

   A. to working

   'Be used to' (meaning accustomed to) is followed by a noun or gerund: 'is used to working'. 'Used to work' without 'be' describes a past habit, which is not the sense here.
