Explanations for Quiz C

  1. Your income will be made up of your base salary plus commission for each sale you make. We need a noun here. “Credit” as a noun refers to borrowed money that has to be paid back. “Commission” is a noun describing money paid to an employee who sells something, so it is the better fit with “income.”

 

  1. She wore a traditional Japanese kimono. We need an adjective here. Design refers to how something is made, but it is not an adjective. Traditional fits because it is an adjective meaning “something that has been used by a particular group for a long time.”

 

  1. This company has been designing small fishing boats for 60 years.  Here we need a verb in present perfect continuous. Investment is a noun, so it doesn’t work here unless we change it to a verb with a preposition: “investing in.” Design means “to plan and make decisions about how something will be made,” so it fits.

 

  1. Olympic skiers must use regulation equipment. Here we need an adjective. While “regulation” has a noun suffix (-tion), it is common to use it as an adjective to mean “ in agreement with official rules.” “Restricted” is an adjective, but it would imply “not allowed” equipment here. So, “regulation” fits best.

 

  1. How many New York airports serve the New York City region? We need a noun. “Range” means “a group of things or people that are usually similar in some way; a series of numbers that includes the highest and lowest possible amounts; and distance.” These definitions don’t work here. “Region” refers to an area or place, so it fits well.

 

  1. I’m hoping to visit the whole castle complex on the tour. We need a noun and both of the choices are nouns. However, “element” means “a chemical substance made up of atoms of only one kind” or “a particular or basic part of something.” The best choice is “complex” which describes a group of buildings that are located near each other.

 

  1. There's always an element of risk in starting a new business.  We need a noun; “feature” is “an interesting or important part, quality, or ability.” Element refers to “a particular or basic part of something.” Risk can be interesting and important, but the better fit is “element” because risk is only one part of starting a business.
  1. I’d like to feature your progress as a student in a video. A verb is needed here. “Feature” is the best choice; it means to show or highlight in a special way. “Credit” means “praise or special attention for doing something,” but we say, “credit + someone + for +something” -- “I’d like to credit you for the company’s progress.”

 

  1. Our restaurant is allowing a restricted number of guests to dine inside right now. We need an adjective; “range” is not an adjective. “Restricted” works well, “having a set limit; having definite rules about what or who is allowed and not allowed.
  1. Denver Zoo is one of Colorado's top cultural attractions. We need an adjective to modify “attractions.” “Region” needs the suffix “-ial” to become an adjective, so “cultural” is best. It means: related to a particular group of people and their habits, beliefs, traditions, etc.; related to the fine arts.

 

  1. Body builders compete in categories according to their weight. We need a noun here; both choices are nouns, but “affects” refers to “feelings or emotions” while “categories” are groups of people or things that are similar in some way.

 

  1. Turn off your phone, turn off your computer, and listen to your true heart. Both choices are nouns, but “computer” is best as it can be a distraction from connecting with your inner self. An “affect” is a feeling or emotion, but we would not “turn off” our affects if we wanted to listen to our true hearts.

 

  1. The festival was a great way for the local community to get together. We need a noun here. “Traditional” is an adjective, but “community” is a noun meaning “a group of people who live in the same area or who share similar interests.”

 

  1. Bell got credit for inventing the telephone, though many other inventors were working on the project. We need a noun to complete this sentence. “Feature” as a noun has several meanings: “an interesting or important part, quality, or ability; a part of the face (such as the eyes, nose, or mouth); a full-length movie.” So, “credit” is the better fit, meaning “praise or special attention for doing something.”

 

  1. Phillip got to see the wolf at very close range. We need a noun, and both options are nouns. “Range” means “distance” while “regulation” means “an official rule or law that says how something should be done; the act of setting or adjusting the amount of something.”

 

  1. Buying our house was a great financial investment. We need a noun here. Both choices are nouns with meanings that have to do with money and buying. The best choice is “investment” (“the act of using money to earn more money; spending money, time, energy, etc. with the idea that it will increase in value or usefulness”) because “purchase” implies “money” or “finances.” We probably wouldn’t say, “It was a great financial purchase.” We would say, “It was a great purchase.”

 

  1. To make online shopping and banking easier, I set up my phone to remember my card number, my location, and my purchase history.  We need a noun here; and both choices are nouns. “Maintenance” has to do with “ keeping something in good condition by making repairs or correcting problems.” Sometimes we do need to do maintenance on our financial accounts. But here, “purchase” works best. It is “an act of buying something.” Being able to see your “purchase history” helps with online shopping and banking.

 

  1. Airlines are responsible for maintenance of their own planes. We need a noun here. “Maintenance” refers to “keeping something in good condition by making repairs or correcting problems” while “design” is “the way something has been made.” An airline’s responsibility is maintenance; an aircraft manufacturer does the designing.

 

  1. How many years was she part of the Obama Administration? Both options are nouns that refer to a group of people. “Community” is “a group of people who live in the same area or who share similar interests.” The better fit here is “administration” as it refers to “a group of people that relate to running a company, school, or other organization.” The focus is on shared work or goals.

 

  1. Your entire affect and attitude have been really down during the pandemic.  We need a noun, and both choices are nouns. An alternative definition of “complex” refers to “a specific emotional problem that causes someone to think or worry too much about something,” but we don’t say “your complex is down.” It would be “You have a complex that gets you down.” So, “affect” is best here because it means “feeling or emotion” in a more general sense.
