Question 1 of 5
Using the sentences above, which of the following sentence orders best forms an organized, logical paragraph?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct order to form a logical paragraph is 3, 4, 2, 1. Starting with sentence 3 sets the scene by mentioning the dog and owner asleep in their home. Then, sentence 4 introduces the conflict with an intruder breaking into the house. Sentence 2 follows logically as it describes the dog's protective response to the intruder. Finally, sentence 1 concludes the paragraph by emphasizing the bond between a dog and its owner. This sequence flows logically and cohesively, making option C the correct choice.

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 best represents the meaning of the word 'indiscriminate'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'miscellaneous.' 'Indiscriminate' means done at random or without careful judgment. In this context, 'miscellaneous' is the closest synonym representing this lack of discrimination or selectivity. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of 'indiscriminate.' 'Selective' implies making choices, the opposite of 'indiscriminate.' 'Noisy' and 'distinct' are unrelated to the meaning of 'indiscriminate.' Therefore, 'miscellaneous' is the most appropriate choice that aligns with the definition of 'indiscriminate.'
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct sentence is 'The handle was loose and could have fallen off at any moment.' The word 'loose' is the correct spelling to describe something not firmly fixed in place. The phrase 'could have fallen off' is the grammatically correct way to express the possibility of something falling. 'Could of' and 'could've' are frequently confused with 'could have,' which is the correct form. Therefore, option C is the only one that is both grammatically correct and accurately conveys the intended meaning.
Question 5 of 5
Everyone knew Sam was committed to helping animals because of his volunteer work at the animal shelter.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct spelling is 'committed.' In this context, 'committed' means dedicated or devoted. Sam's volunteer work at the animal shelter indicates his dedication to helping animals. By choosing option D, you acknowledge that 'committed' is the correct spelling, reinforcing the idea that Sam is dedicated to assisting animals through his volunteer work.
