In the word 'circumnavigation,' the Latin prefix 'circum' means to move in which of the following directions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Latin prefix 'circum' means 'around.' In 'circumnavigation,' it indicates moving around, such as in the case of traveling around the globe.

So, 'circum' denotes movement around a particular point or object, reflecting the concept of encircling or surrounding.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following best represents the meaning of the word 'indiscriminate'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'miscellaneous.' 'Indiscriminate' means done at random or without careful judgment. In this context, 'miscellaneous' is the closest synonym representing this lack of discrimination or selectivity. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of 'indiscriminate.' 'Selective' implies making choices, the opposite of 'indiscriminate.' 'Noisy' and 'distinct' are unrelated to the meaning of 'indiscriminate.' Therefore, 'miscellaneous' is the most appropriate choice that aligns with the definition of 'indiscriminate.'
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following tasks is appropriate during the final stage of writing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During the final stage of writing, checking for punctuation errors is crucial to ensure that the written piece is polished and error-free. This step helps enhance the clarity and professionalism of the content, making it easier for readers to comprehend the intended message. While supporting the main argument, providing logical transitions, and establishing a clear plan are essential steps in the writing process, checking for punctuation errors is specifically associated with the final stage to refine and perfect the written work. Addressing punctuation errors at this stage ensures that the text is coherent, well-structured, and effectively communicates the author's ideas. Hence, focusing on punctuation enhances the overall quality of the writing, demonstrating attention to detail and dedication to producing a refined final product.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences is a complex sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In choice A, 'When Jung-hoon found a seat on the bus' is the dependent clause, and 'he hoped he would have a quiet ride' is the independent clause, making it a complex sentence. Choices B, C, and D do not contain this structure; therefore, they are not complex sentences. Choice B is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. Choice C is a simple sentence with only one independent clause. Choice D is also a simple sentence with only one independent clause.
