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 demonstrates correct grammar and usage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'If fewer people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.' In this sentence, 'fewer' is correctly used to refer to countable items, and 'people' is a countable noun. 'Effect' is the correct term to describe the result of fewer people watching the television series. The usage of 'affect' in choices B and C is incorrect; 'affect' is a verb meaning to influence, while 'effect' is a noun meaning result or consequence. Therefore, choice A is the only option that is both grammatically correct and uses the appropriate terms in the context provided.
Question 3 of 5
Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?

'Anthropomorphism' (choice A) involves attributing human characteristics to non-human entities. 'Biology' (choice B) is the study of living organisms. 'Philanthropy' (choice D) is the desire to promote the welfare of others, typically through donations.
