Question 1 of 5
In the sentence, 'The job applicants were shown to an anteroom, where they wanted to be called for their interviews,' what is the meaning of the prefix 'ante'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The prefix 'ante' means 'before.' An anteroom is a room that comes before the main room, serving as a waiting area. In this context, 'ante' indicates a position or condition prior to something else happening, aligning with the idea that the job applicants were waiting to be called for their interviews in the anteroom.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following options best completes the sentence below? The responsibilities of a class president are extensive; ................., she should not become so involved that she neglects her studies.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'however.' The word 'however' is used to contrast or show opposition between two parts of a sentence. In this context, it highlights a shift in focus from the extensive responsibilities of a class president to a warning about not neglecting studies. 'Especially' would not be the best choice here as it does not provide the needed contrast. 'Therefore' would imply a conclusion rather than a contrasting idea, and 'indeed' does not establish the intended contrast required in the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is a complete sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. Choice A, 'I walked all three dogs around the park this morning,' is a complete sentence as it contains a subject 'I' and a predicate 'walked all three dogs around the park this morning.' In contrast, Choices B, C, and D are sentence fragments because they are missing either a subject, a predicate, or both. Choice B lacks a subject, Choices C and D are sentence fragments because they do not form a complete thought without a main verb.
Question 4 of 5
Many _________ books are popular among adults these days. Which of the following options correctly completes the sentence above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'children's.' In this context, the sentence is referring to books that belong to or are associated with children. To show possession, an apostrophe is used followed by the letter 's.' Therefore, 'children's' is the correct form to indicate that the books are related to children.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences is an example of the third person narrative voice?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it is written in the third person. Third person narrative voice uses pronouns like 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' or 'they' to describe characters or events, maintaining a sense of distance from the narrator's personal perspective. In this sentence, 'He was scared when he got on the plane,' the subject 'he' is being described from an external viewpoint. This narrative style allows the narrator to present events objectively without inserting personal opinions or experiences, enhancing the reader's ability to focus on the story's characters and plot.
