He argues that dreams that repeat often have an important message signaling the dreamer to get over ________ fear or solve a problematic issue.

  1. Any

  2. Some

  3. Many

  4. few
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence structure requires a determiner that fits with 'fear' as a singular uncountable noun in this context. 'Some fear' is the correct choice because it indicates an unspecified but real fear that the dreamer needs to overcome. 'Any fear' would require a negative construction (no fear), 'many fear' would need the plural form, and 'few fear' is grammatically incorrect here.

The animal has long legs with four toes in each foot, ________ the other canines with five toes in each foot.

  1. But

  2. Unlike

  3. While

  4. Although
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence contrasts an animal with four toes per foot versus other canines with five toes. 'Unlike' is the correct preposition to show this contrast - it means 'different from.' 'But' is a coordinating conjunction that would need a full clause after it, 'while' and 'although' would introduce a clause with a subject and verb, not just a noun phrase.

The right brain, the creative and feminine side of our personality, ____________ the creation of imaginative, wishful thinking called daydreaming.

  1. Orders

  2. testifies

  3. is going to

  4. is responsible for
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence needs a verb phrase that indicates what the right brain does regarding daydreaming. "Is responsible for" correctly expresses that the right brain causes or controls the creation of daydreaming. "Orders" is too forceful and doesn't fit grammatically, "testifies" doesn't make sense in context, and "is going to" is incomplete without a main verb.

The starfish consumes its prey outside its body, by using tiny suction-cupped tube feet and sack-like cardiac stomach THAT emerges from the mouth to envelop the prey and digest it. 'THAT' in above sentence stands for:

  1. Starfish

  2. Feet

  3. Stomach

  4. Prey
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In the sentence structure, the relative clause "that emerges from the mouth" follows immediately after "sack-like cardiac stomach," making it the antecedent. The stomach is what emerges to envelop and digest prey. "Starfish" is the subject but not what "that" refers to, and "feet" and "prey" are other nouns in the sentence but not the correct referent.

Multiple choice softskills leadership

The ____________ of visual images in the dreams of a blind person depends on whether s/he is blind from birth or became blind later in life.

  1. occurrence

  2. appearance

  3. showing

  4. seeing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

"Appearance" correctly describes how visual images show up or manifest in dreams. The sentence is asking about whether visual imagery occurs in dreams of blind people. "Occurrence" would mean how often it happens, but the context is about presence vs. absence. "Showing" and "seeing" don't fit the grammatical structure or meaning as precisely as "appearance."

Multiple choice softskills leadership

Organic food is grown under natural conditions _____________ any inorganic herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers or additives.

  1. except

  2. without

  3. rather

  4. instead
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Organic food is defined by being grown without synthetic chemicals. "Without" is the only preposition that clearly indicates the absence of inorganic substances. "Except" would imply they are used in some cases, which contradicts organic principles. "Rather" and "instead" don't convey the necessary meaning of absence in this context.

Multiple choice softskills leadership

This endangered species animals are quite __________ to diseases spread by domestic animals.

  1. allergic

  2. susceptible

  3. used

  4. fall ill
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

"Susceptible" means having little resistance to something, especially disease. This correctly describes how endangered species can be easily affected by diseases from domestic animals. "Allergic" is too specific and not the right context, "used" doesn't make sense, and "fall ill" is a verb phrase that doesn't fit grammatically.

Multiple choice softskills leadership

The ____________ of the physical state of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase is called condensation.

  1. temperature

  2. termination

  3. transfer

  4. transition
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

"Transition" correctly describes a change from one state to another, specifically from gas to liquid. Condensation is the phase change process. "Temperature" is a measurement, not a process. "Termination" means ending, and "transfer" means moving something, neither of which accurately describes a phase change.

Researchers at Cornell University have demonstrated that homing pigeons can sense changes in the earth's magnetic field, see light waves that people cannot see, detect low-frequency sounds from miles away, sense changes in air pressure, and can identify familiar odors.

  1. A. sense changes in air pressure, and can identify familiar odors

  2. B. can sense changes in air pressure, and can identify familiar odors

  3. C. sense changes in air pressure, and identify familiar odors

  4. D. air pressure changes can be sensed, and familiar odors identified

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

This is a sentence correction/redundancy elimination question. The original sentence lists capabilities redundantly with 'can' appearing multiple times. Option C 'sense changes in air pressure, and identify familiar odors' maintains parallel structure without the redundant 'can' while preserving meaning.

  2. B. through which cultural influences were transmitted

  3. C. where there was a transmission of cultural influences

  4. D. for the transmitting of cultural influences

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When describing a corridor or path that something travels through, "through which" is the grammatically correct choice. "Where there were" is wordy and less precise for directional transmission.
