A. UnloyalExplanation
The word "unloyal" is the incorrect use of a prefix. The correct form of the word should be "disloyal."

- A.
Was one

He is known
- D.
One
- E.

Correct Answer
D. OneExplanation
The correct answer is "one". This answer completes the sentence by stating that Gauhar Jamil was one of the pioneers of modern dance. The phrase "one of" indicates that there were multiple pioneers, and Gauhar Jamil was among them. The sentence also mentions that he didn't begin dancing until he was 21, which implies that he achieved recognition and success in the field despite starting relatively late.Rate this question:

Choose the WRONG use of SUFFIX/PREFIX:
- A.
Disenthrall
- B.
Discrete
- C.
Disaccordant
- D.
Discolor
- E.
None
Correct Answer
C. DisaccordantExplanation
The word "Disaccordant" is the incorrect use of a prefix because the correct prefix for this word would be "in," not "dis." The word "accordant" means in agreement or harmony, so adding the prefix "dis" would create a word that means not in agreement or harmony. However, the correct prefix to use in this case would be "in," resulting in the word "inaccordant" which means not in agreement or harmony. Therefore, "Disaccordant" is the wrong use of a prefix.Rate this question:

- B.
Equilateral
- C.
Equidivision
- D.
Equilibrate
- E.
None
Correct Answer
C. EquidivisionExplanation
The word "equidivision" is the incorrect use of a prefix. The correct prefix for "division" should be "di-" or "tri-" to indicate dividing into two or three parts, respectively. The prefix "equi-" means equal or evenly distributed, so "equidivision" does not accurately convey the intended meaning.Rate this question:

Choose the WRONG use of SUFFIX/PREFIX:
- A.
Venation
- B.
Doctrination
- C.
Diminution
- D.
Attrition
- E.
None
Correct Answer
B. DoctrinationExplanation
The word "Doctrination" is the wrong use of a suffix/prefix because it does not contain any prefix or suffix. The correct use of a suffix/prefix would involve adding a word part to the beginning or end of a base word to create a new word with a different meaning. In this case, "Doctrination" is a standalone word without any added word parts.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
The correct answer is d because "rising" is the correct verb form to use in this context. The sentence is discussing Rakib's inability to improve his grades despite studying all the new materials. Therefore, the verb "rising" is appropriate as it indicates an upward movement or improvement in his grades.Rate this question:

E
Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
The correct answer is "b" because the verb "told" should be followed by an object pronoun (me, him, her, us, them) instead of a subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they). Therefore, the correct phrase should be "told them."Rate this question:

A. AExplanation
The given sentence is in the past perfect tense. The subject "she" had already seen the movie before, so the correct form of the verb should be "having seen" instead of "being seen." "Being seen" implies that someone else saw her, which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.Rate this question:

- E.

Correct Answer
C. When children watch too much violence on TV, it may effect their behavior.Explanation
The sentence "When children watch too much violence on TV, it may effect their behavior" is incorrect. The correct word to use in this context is "affect" instead of "effect". The verb "affect" means to have an influence on something, while "effect" is a noun that refers to the result or consequence of something. In this case, the sentence is discussing how watching violence on TV can impact or influence children's behavior, so the correct word to use is "affect".Rate this question:
