B.Касательная (root -кас- before suffix -а-)
C.Прикасаться
D.Касание
Explanation: In alternating roots -кас-/-кос-: 'а' is written if the root is immediately followed by suffix -а- (касаться, касательная); 'о' is written if suffix -а- is absent (прикосновение, прикоснуться).

A.Превосходный (excellent / outstanding)
B.Приморский (near the sea / spatial proximity)
C.Прибежать (approach / arrival)
D.Приоткрыть (incomplete action)
Explanation: The prefix 'пре-' is written when it signifies the highest degree of a quality (equivalent to 'очень': превосходный = очень хороший, премудрый = очень мудрый) or corresponds to prefix 'пере-'.
3In which option are all words spelled with double 'НН' in suffixes?
A.Деревянный, стеклянный, оловянный (exceptional adjectives)
B.Кожаный, глиняный, серебряный
C.Лебединый, гусиный, соколиный

4In which sentence is the particle 'НЕ' written SEPARATELY (раздельно) from the word?
A.Это была отнюдь не простая задача. (presence of intensifying phrase 'отнюдь не')
B.Он принял совершенно неправильное решение.
C.Мы шли по незнакомой улице.
D.Его поступок вызвал недоумение.
Explanation: 'НЕ' is written separately with adjectives when accompanied by strengthening negative constructions such as 'отнюдь не', 'вовсе не', 'далеко не', or negative pronouns (ничуть не, нисколько не).
5Which of the following words requires a soft sign (ь) after the sibilant consonant at the end?
A.Полночь (3rd declension feminine noun)
B.Мяч (2nd declension masculine noun)
C.Кирпич (2nd declension masculine noun)
D.Много туч (genitive plural of 1st declension noun)
Explanation: In Russian orthography, feminine nouns of the 3rd declension end with a soft sign (ь) after sibilants: полночь, ночь, дочь, вещь, тишь, рожь.
6What is the correct Genitive plural form of the noun 'яблоко' (apple)?
A.Яблок
B.Яблоков
C.Яблоней
D.Яблока
Explanation: The neuter noun 'яблоко' has the zero-ending genitive plural form 'яблок' (килограмм яблок).
7Choose the correct Instrumental case (творительный падеж) form of the compound cardinal numeral 'пятьсот семьдесят шесть' (576):
A.пятьюстами семьюдесятью шестью
B.пятистами семидесяти шестью
C.пятьсот семидесятью шестью
D.пятьюстами семьдесят шестью
Explanation: In Russian, all parts of compound cardinal numerals decline: пятьсот -> пятьюстами (Instr); семьдесят -> семьюдесятью (Instr); шесть -> шестью (Instr). Result: пятьюстами семьюдесятью шестью.
8What is the grammatical classification of the word 'прочитав' in the sentence: 'Прочитав письмо, он задумался.'?
A.Деепричастие совершенного вида (Perfective verbal adverb)
B.Причастие прошедшего времени (Past participle)
C.Инфинитив глагола (Verb infinitive)
D.Краткое прилагательное (Short adjective)
Explanation: 'Прочитав' is a perfective verbal adverb (деепричастие совершенного вида) formed from the verb 'прочитать' with suffix -в, denoting an adverbial secondary action completed before the main action.
9Which verb belongs to the Second Conjugation (II спряжение)?
A.Держать (one of the 11 exception verbs ending in -ать)
B.Читать (I conjugation)
C.Стелить (exception ending in -ить belonging to I conjugation)
D.Брить (exception ending in -ить belonging to I conjugation)
Explanation: Verbs of II conjugation include all verbs in -ить (except брить, стелить, зиждиться), plus 7 verbs in -еть (смотреть, видеть, терпеть, вертеть, обидеть, зависеть, ненавидеть) and 4 verbs in -ать (гнать, дышать, держать, слышать). Thus, 'держать' is II conjugation.
10In which sentence should a COLON (двоеточие) be placed between the clauses of a non-conjunction complex sentence (БСП)?
A.Я выглянул в окно: на улице шел густой снег. (second clause explains reason / details visual observation)
B.Настанет утро — тронемся в путь. (time/condition -> dash)
C.Сыр выпал — с ним была плутовка такова. (rapid consequence -> dash)
D.Метель не утихала, небо не прояснялось. (enumeration -> comma)
Explanation: A colon is placed in a non-conjunction sentence (БСП) when the second clause explains the reason (can insert 'потому что') or clarifies/reveals what was perceived/seen ('и увидел, что').
