Synonyms · solved example
Choose the word most nearly the SAME in meaning as: DILIGENT
Solution
Diligent means showing careful and persistent effort — the nearest synonym is hardworking. Careless and lazy are opposites, and hostile means unfriendly, which is unrelated.
Error spotting · solved example
Find the segment that contains a grammatical error: (A) Each of the recruits (B) were given (C) a new uniform (D) before the parade.
Solution
The subject is 'Each', which is singular, so the verb must be 'was given', not 'were given'. The phrase 'of the recruits' is a prepositional modifier and does not make the subject plural.
