    Do you make an effort to keep the location of the correct answer spread equally across all of the positions? About halfway through this quiz, around 5 consecutive correct answers fell in the last position. Do make a better effort to distribute the correct answers.

      The answer choices on our quizzes are actually randomized for each question specifically to avoid predictable answer patterns. So if several correct answers appeared in the same position in a row, that was just one of those streaks of randomness doing its thing.

    19/20. Both “exposure” and “coverage” seemed appropriate answers to the last question.

    20/20 – well, I am a writer. Also, I agree with Christine (below) and, in UK English we would use ‘piqued’ when talking about curiosity rather than ‘aroused’, which has sexual connotations.

    20/20–but I think there were other acceptable answers to some of the questions. This seemed to be a test of idiomatic knowledge.

      19/20. I thought so and took one of the options. The tennis question. I assumed he was working harder because he’d lost a match, rather than just trying to win a match.

About This Quiz

Let's face it, now that we're adults, we've basically forgotten everything we learned in school, be it arithmetic, geography, or science. But, is that the case for every subject we studied in school? What about English? Let's find out!

Trying in vain to memorize the meaning of words you never have and never plan on using in everyday conversation is not only boring, but seems completely pointless. While some of us have blocked that point of our lives out of our minds, others can still remember every vocabulary word on the list. So where do you fall? Do you know when to use words like "stimulate", "arouse", and "motivate"?

This quiz will ask you to identify the most suitable words to fill in the blanks of different sentences. The questions come from an actual 6th grade exam paper. Think you’ll be able to ace it? Prove you paid attention in English class by passing this 6th grade quiz on vocabulary and word usage.
