Question 1 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 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences is likely to be found in a descriptive passage about a county fair?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it vividly describes a typical scene at a county fair, mentioning a specific attraction, the Ferris wheel, and setting the ambiance by mentioning the night sky. This creates a vivid image for the reader, capturing the essence of a county fair. Choices B, C, and D do not specifically capture the essence of a county fair's descriptive passage, as they focus on different aspects such as suggestions for competitions and events happening around the fairgrounds, rather than painting a descriptive picture of the fair itself.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences would be the best topic sentence for the paragraph?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The best topic sentence for the paragraph should introduce the main idea of the benefits of a daily walk, focusing on both physical and psychological aspects. Choice D, 'There are physical and psychological reasons for a daily walk,' is the most suitable as it sets the stage for discussing the physical benefits like increased metabolism and joint flexibility, as well as the mental benefits such as stress relief and mood improvement, which are highlighted in the paragraph.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences does not belong in a paragraph about caring for newly hatched chickens?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a paragraph about caring for newly hatched chickens, the focus is on the care of the chicks themselves, not on egg collection. Choices B, C, and D all provide specific instructions on caring for the chicks, such as providing water, maintaining temperature, and deciding on their food, which are relevant to the topic. However, choice A about egg collection is not directly related to the care of the newly hatched chickens. It pertains to egg production and fertility, which is a separate aspect of poultry management. Thus, it does not fit within the context of caring for newly hatched chicks and should be excluded from the paragraph focusing on immediate care practices for the chicks.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences demonstrates correct grammar and usage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'If fewer people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.' In this sentence, 'fewer' is correctly used to refer to countable items, and 'people' is a countable noun. 'Effect' is the correct term to describe the result of fewer people watching the television series. The usage of 'affect' in choices B and C is incorrect; 'affect' is a verb meaning to influence, while 'effect' is a noun meaning result or consequence. Therefore, choice A is the only option that is both grammatically correct and uses the appropriate terms in the context provided.
