Choose the CORRECT sentence

• The teacher interactioned with the students during the class

• She is very dependable to finish her work late all the time

• The company has a reputation for making well-designed products

• The quiet music disrupted the loud conversation in the room

Answer explanation

Interaction – The teacher interactioned with the students during the class. (Incorrect because "interactioned" is not a word; the correct verb form is "interacted.")

Dependable – She is very dependable to finish her work late all the time. (Incorrect because "dependable" means reliable, which contradicts the idea of always being late.)

Disrupt – The quiet music disrupted the loud conversation in the room. (Incorrect because "disrupt" implies causing disturbance, but quiet music wouldn't typically disrupt a loud conversation.

Choose the CORRECT sentence

• The company is using technological innovation to disrupt restaurant businesses.

• This is a top-of-range car, but it has the worst features

• This dress is very more unique than the others.

• She prefers to automated her tasks manually every day.

Answer explanation

• Automated – She prefers to automated her tasks manually every day. (Incorrect because "automated" refers to something done automatically, which contradicts doing tasks manually.)

• Unique – This dress is very more unique than the others. (Incorrect because "unique" means one of a kind, so it cannot have comparative degrees like "more unique.")

• Top-of-the-range – This is a top-of-range car, but it has the worst features. (Incorrect because "top-of-the-range" implies high quality, which contradicts having the worst features. Also, the correct phrase is "top-of-the-range," not "top-of-range.")

Choose the CORRECT sentence

• She always wears very stylishly clothes to work.

• You can customize your laptop settings to match your personal preferences

• This new futuristic design is very classic

• He is too advanced to start learning English.

Answer explanation

Stylish – She always wears very stylishly clothes to work. (Incorrect because "stylishly" is an adverb, but "stylish" should be used as an adjective before "clothes.")

Advanced – He is too advanced to start learning English. (Incorrect because "advanced" usually means having a high level of skill, but the sentence suggests he hasn't started yet, which contradicts the meaning.)

Classic – This new futuristic design is very classic. (Incorrect because "classic" refers to something traditional or timeless, which contradicts "new" and "futuristic.")
