Question 1 of 5
I had to rack my brain and plumb the depths of my resources to overcome the foul consequences of my previous vice. Which of the following homophones should be used to correct the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the given sentence, the correct homophone to use is 'plumb,' which means to explore or examine thoroughly. 'Wrack' should be 'rack,' and 'foul' should be 'fowl' to maintain the context. Therefore, the correct choice is 'plumb' as it fits perfectly in the sentence to convey the intended meaning. 'Rack' in this context means to strain or stretch one's brain, and 'fowl' refers to birds, which are unrelated to the context of exploring resources.

Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is punctuated correctly. In this sentence, the dialogue is enclosed within single quotation marks, and the punctuation (period) is placed inside the closing quotation mark. This follows the standard rules for punctuating dialogue in written English. Correct punctuation of dialogue is essential for clarity and adhering to grammatical conventions in writing.
Question 4 of 5
According to the prefix 'mal-', which of the following phrases best defines 'malformed'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The prefix 'mal-' is a prefix that denotes something bad, improper, or negative. When combined with 'formed,' it indicates that something is poorly shaped or structured. Therefore, 'malformed' refers to something that is badly formed, aligning with the correct choice C, 'badly formed.' This term describes something that is not correctly or adequately shaped, making it the most suitable definition among the options provided.
