Question 1 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.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences is a complex sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In choice A, 'When Jung-hoon found a seat on the bus' is the dependent clause, and 'he hoped he would have a quiet ride' is the independent clause, making it a complex sentence. Choices B, C, and D do not contain this structure; therefore, they are not complex sentences. Choice B is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. Choice C is a simple sentence with only one independent clause. Choice D is also a simple sentence with only one independent clause.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Which of the following statements is true about a strong academic thesis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A strong academic thesis directly states the main argument or position of the author. It provides a clear and concise summary of the topic being addressed in the paper, guiding the reader on what to expect. This statement is essential for setting the direction and focus of the academic work, making it a fundamental element in academic writing. Therefore, the correct answer is B because a strong thesis should present the central argument of the paper.
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.
