Question 1 of 5
In the sentence, 'The masked villain silently laughed while watching the hero struggle to escape,' what part of speech is the word 'silently'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'silently' is an adverb in this sentence as it modifies the verb 'laughed' by describing how the villain laughed. Adverbs often describe how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed. In this case, 'silently' describes the manner in which the villain laughed, making it an adverb. Adjectives describe nouns, verbs show action or state of being, prepositions show relationships between words in a sentence, and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements is true about a strong academic thesis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A strong academic thesis directly states the main argument or position of the author. It provides a clear and concise summary of the topic being addressed in the paper, guiding the reader on what to expect. This statement is essential for setting the direction and focus of the academic work, making it a fundamental element in academic writing. Therefore, the correct answer is B because a strong thesis should present the central argument of the paper.
Question 4 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.
