Communication Arts — English Practice Questions with Answers
- 1easy
"Nothing that happens in this world ever happens by chance; It is all part of a grand design." This statement expresses about a person's _______________.
- A.ambition
- B.dreams
- C.destiny
- D.luck
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. destiny
The statement describes a belief that everything follows a predetermined plan rather than occurring randomly, which is the definition of destiny. Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events that a person believes will happen to them, contrasting with luck (which is random chance) or ambition/dreams (which are personal goals).

The _______________ that, for various reasons, girls spent less time working with computers than boys.
- A.studies revealing
- B.studies reveal
- C.studies revealed
- D.studies was revealing
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. studies revealed
The sentence requires a past tense verb form to complete the introductory clause. 'Studies revealed' uses the simple past tense, which correctly indicates that the research findings about girls' computer usage occurred at a specific time in the past. The other options are either present tense or incorrectly conjugated forms that don't fit the sentence structure.
- 3easy
Everyone in the field of entertainment _______________ to watch the FAMAS Awards.
- A.was excited
- B.were certainly excited
- C.is certainly excited
- D.are certainly excited
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. is certainly excited
The subject 'Everyone' is a singular indefinite pronoun that always takes a singular verb. Therefore, the correct verb form is 'is certainly excited' (option C). Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they use plural verb forms ('was', 'were', 'are') with a singular subject.
- 4easy
During the Independence Day celebrations, the directive is _______________.
- A.hang your flags on June 12
- B.hanged your flags during June 12
- C.hanged your flags on June 12
- D.hung your flags on June 12
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A. hang your flags on June 12
The correct answer uses 'hang' in its base form because it follows the modal verb 'is' in the directive structure 'the directive is [verb].' After 'is,' we use the base form of the verb, not the past tense 'hanged' or past participle 'hung.' Additionally, 'hang' (meaning to display) uses 'hanged' or 'hung' only in past tense, but here we need the infinitive form.
- 5easy
Which sentence is in its correct form?
- A.His allays are mostly from the Nacionalista Party.
- B.The delays in the election returns are very suspicious.
- C.He has been travelling for the last 3 years.
- D.Only 16.8% of the nursing examiners passed the 2009 Nursing Board Examinations.
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. He has been travelling for the last 3 years.
Option C uses the present perfect continuous tense correctly with "has been travelling," which is the appropriate form to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Options A, B, and D contain spelling or word choice errors: A uses "allays" instead of "allies," B uses "delays" which is a different word entirely, and D is grammatically correct but uses awkward phrasing with the percentage.
- 6easy
What does it mean when we say “We have achieved a breakthrough here.”?
- A.that the negotiators or members have begun to agree on certain issues
- B.that the members have abandoned the negotiating table.
- C.the other party have won the negotiation
- D.the conference have been indefinitely postponed.
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A. that the negotiators or members have begun to agree on certain issues
A 'breakthrough' in negotiations means progress has been made and parties have found common ground. When negotiators achieve a breakthrough, they have successfully agreed on certain issues that were previously points of contention, moving the negotiation forward positively.
- 7easy
Historically, therefore, ___________ must be no let up in the pursuit of the solution.
- A.There’ll
- B.They’re
- C.There
- D.Their
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. There
The sentence requires 'There' as an expletive (dummy subject) to introduce the clause 'must be no let up in the pursuit of the solution.' This is the standard grammatical structure for existential statements. The other options are contractions or possessive pronouns that don't fit this grammatical function.
- 8easy
The witness testified ___________ the defendant’s early life.
- A.as to
- B.as on
- C.about
- D.with
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. about
The correct preposition is 'about' because it means 'concerning' or 'regarding.' The phrase 'testified about' is the standard English construction for giving evidence or information on a subject. While 'as to' can sometimes work in formal contexts, 'about' is the most natural and commonly accepted choice here.
- 9easy
It is essential that harmony prevail ___________ the departments.
- A.between
- B.among
- C.with
- D.with all
Show answer & explanation
Answer: B. among
Use 'among' when referring to three or more people or things, and 'between' for two entities. Since multiple departments are involved, 'among' is the correct preposition. The phrase 'harmony prevail among the departments' correctly shows harmony distributed across all departments.
- 10easy
Please ___________ the book with you the next time you come to my office.
- A.take
- B.bring
- C.carry
- D.bring along
Show answer & explanation
Answer: B. bring
"Bring" is correct because it means to transport something toward the speaker or to the location where the speaker will be. Since the speaker is in their office and wants the book brought there, "bring" is the appropriate choice. "Take" means to transport away from the speaker, "carry" is neutral about direction, and "bring along" is redundant in this context.
- 11easy
The friendliness ___________ the Philippine Foreign Minister and the American Secretary of State promoted harmony.
- A.between
- B.with both
- C.with
- D.of both
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A. between
The correct preposition is 'between' because it is used to show a relationship or connection involving two distinct parties. The sentence describes the friendliness shared by two specific individuals (the Philippine Foreign Minister and the American Secretary of State), making 'between' the appropriate choice. The other options either use incorrect prepositions or create grammatical errors.
- 12easy
It’s plain to see, said she, “there are too many and’s in that sentence.”
- A.Its plain to see, said she, “there are too many and’s in that sentence.
- B.“It’s plain to see,” said she, “there are too many and’s in that sentence.”
- C.“Its plain to see,” said she, “there are too many ands in that sentence.”
- D.Its plain to see, said she, there are many ands in that sentence.
Show answer & explanation
Answer: B. “It’s plain to see,” said she, “there are too many and’s in that sentence.”
The correct answer uses quotation marks around the spoken dialogue and the contraction "it's" (meaning "it is"). Option B properly punctuates direct speech by placing the opening quotation mark before "It's" and closing it at the end of the sentence, while also correctly using the contraction instead of the possessive "its".
