Question 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct sentence is 'The handle was loose and could have fallen off at any moment.' The word 'loose' is the correct spelling to describe something not firmly fixed in place. The phrase 'could have fallen off' is the grammatically correct way to express the possibility of something falling. 'Could of' and 'could've' are frequently confused with 'could have,' which is the correct form. Therefore, option C is the only one that is both grammatically correct and accurately conveys the intended meaning.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A thesis statement plays a vital role in guiding the content and direction of an essay or paper. It is meant to be specific and concise, acting as a roadmap for the reader by clearly stating the main argument or purpose of the writing. The specificity of the thesis statement is crucial as it helps the writer focus their ideas and enables them to provide relevant supporting evidence throughout the paper. By being specific, the thesis statement becomes a strong foundation upon which the rest of the writing can be built. Therefore, the correct choice is A, emphasizing the importance of specific wording in thesis statements.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following prefixes implies duplication or repetition when attached to a root word?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Re-'. The prefix 'Re-' implies duplication or repetition when attached to a root word. It signifies the act of doing something again or the reoccurrence of an action or state. For example, 'redo' means to do something again, 'replay' means to play something again, and 'revisit' means to visit again. On the other hand, 'Un-' typically signifies negation or reversal, 'Dis-' implies removal or separation, and 'In-' usually denotes negation or not. Therefore, 'Re-' is the prefix that specifically indicates duplication or repetition.
