2. “ On the street of this position of

on Quemada’s poem is saying that:
A. Life is fruitful
B. Life is not worth living
C. Life is empty and meaningless
D. Life is full of challenges

Jens Martensson 6

D. hadn’t getting

Jens Martensson 12
Rationalization:

in the perfect progressive tense
since that there are two past
actions where still happening when
the second transpired. Therefore,
the auxiliary verb must be “ had”
plus “been” and the -ing form of
the verb. The answer is letter D.

Jens Martensson 14
Rationalization:

be “has” plus “been” and the -ing form of the
verb. The answer is letter C.

Jens Martensson 19
8. This seatwork is difficult for
Paul and ________.
A. Myself
B. I
C. Me
D. Himself

Jens Martensson 20
Rationalization:

Tough choice would be between B and C.

the answer is C “me” because “I” must only
be used if you are the subject of the
sentence of if you are the doer of the action,
while “me” is used is you are the object of the
sentence or if you are the receiver of the
action.

Jens Martensson 21
9. The candy care smells
A. Sweet
B. Sweetly
C. Sweeter
D. More sweet

Jens Martensson 22
Rationalization:
“ smells “ is a verb of senses – meaning it could be
either function as an action or linking verb. It is
functioning as an action verb if the subject is capable of
movement and if there is direct object. It functions as a
linking verb if the subject is not capable of movement.
Since that “candy” cannot move, the verb “smells”
functions as a linking verb. The sentence pattern
therefore is S-LV-PA (Subject, Linking Verb, Predicative
Adjective) and so, the answer is “ sweet”.

Jens Martensson 23
10. What is the biggest
hindrance in learning a
second language?
A. grammar
B. structure of language
C. imagery
D. cross-cultural issues

Jens Martensson 24
Rationalization:
learners' culture can be a barrier to second or foreign
language learning. Cultural differences may cause
confusion and cultural misunderstandings. Learners
may have problems communicating with target native
speakers because of cultural differences. Learning a
second language means learning to speak and
comprehend it.

14. Rubric as a measuring
instrument that is best use in
assessing _
A. Sentence structure
B. Oral recitation
C. Multiple choice test
D. Dictation test

Jens Martensson 30
Rationalization:
Rubrics are often times used when objectivity might be
questionable. Often times rubrics are used to steer
away from personal biases of the assessor. Multiple
choice test, sentence structure, and dictation tests
would have exact answers, while it is very difficult to
assess oral examination – and so, the answer is letter
B.
