Question 1 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 2 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 3 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 4 of 5
The fact that she lied to her best friend weighed heavily on her...............
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct spelling in this context is 'conscience,' which refers to an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior. In the given scenario, the person is feeling guilty about lying, which aligns with the concept of conscience. It is important to understand the correct spelling to ensure effective communication and comprehension in written contexts.
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.
