Question 4 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 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.
