Question 1 of 5
Which of the following parts of speech describes the word 'incredibly' as used in the sentence: 'The pumpkin crop was incredibly small this year because of excessive rain in the spring and heat in the summer'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the sentence provided, 'incredibly' is used to modify the adjective 'small,' indicating the degree of smallness. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this context, 'incredibly' functions as an adverb by providing more information on the extent of the adjective 'small.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'adverb.' Adverbs answer questions like 'how,' 'when,' 'where,' 'why,' or 'to what extent' and can modify adjectives to provide more detail or context. In this case, 'incredibly' modifies 'small,' demonstrating the degree of smallness, making it an adverb in this sentence.

Question 2 of 5
What is the term for the spaces between the ribs that contain the veins?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct term for the spaces between the ribs that contain the veins is 'intercostal spaces.' Intercostal spaces are the specific anatomical regions between the ribs where the veins are located. The term 'costal spaces' in option B is incorrect as 'costal' pertains to the ribs themselves, not the spaces between them. Option C, 'spaces,' is too general and does not identify the anatomical location. Option D, 'inter spaces,' is not a valid anatomical term. Therefore, the correct answer is 'intercostal spaces,' which precisely describes the spaces between the ribs.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences is an example of the third person narrative voice?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it is written in the third person. Third person narrative voice uses pronouns like 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' or 'they' to describe characters or events, maintaining a sense of distance from the narrator's personal perspective. In this sentence, 'He was scared when he got on the plane,' the subject 'he' is being described from an external viewpoint. This narrative style allows the narrator to present events objectively without inserting personal opinions or experiences, enhancing the reader's ability to focus on the story's characters and plot.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following options is the correct plural spelling?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct plural spelling of 'thesis' is 'theses,' making option A incorrect. Option B, 'parentheses,' is the correct plural form of 'parenthesis.' Option C, 'data,' is already in its plural form and does not require alteration. Option D, 'syllabi,' is the correct plural of 'syllabus,' making it the right answer to this question.
Question 5 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.
