Question 2 of 5
Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: anthropology.' The affix 'anthropo-' refers to humans, and '-logy' denotes the study of something. Therefore, 'anthropology' means 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.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences would be the best topic sentence for the paragraph?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The best topic sentence for the paragraph should introduce the main idea of the benefits of a daily walk, focusing on both physical and psychological aspects. Choice D, 'There are physical and psychological reasons for a daily walk,' is the most suitable as it sets the stage for discussing the physical benefits like increased metabolism and joint flexibility, as well as the mental benefits such as stress relief and mood improvement, which are highlighted in the paragraph.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the modifier 'needing paint' is supposed to describe the truck, but it is incorrectly placed to modify 'the garage' instead. This results in a dangling modifier, where the intended subject is unclear. In sentences B, C, and D, the modifiers are correctly placed, making them clear and grammatically correct. Remember, a dangling modifier occurs when the subject being modified is missing or unclear in the sentence, leading to confusion or awkwardness in the meaning.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements about a paragraph's concluding sentence is true?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'It summarizes the paragraph's main point.' The concluding sentence of a paragraph typically restates the main idea or central theme of that paragraph. It serves to bring closure and reinforce the key points discussed in the paragraph, providing a sense of completion to the reader. While the topic sentence introduces the main idea of the paragraph, the concluding sentence ties everything together by summarizing what has been discussed within the paragraph itself, not necessarily the entire essay. Therefore, option B is the most accurate description of the function of a paragraph's concluding sentence.
