Question 1 of 5
Which of the following sentences correctly uses apostrophes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct use of apostrophes is to show possession. In sentence B, 'women's' correctly indicates possession, showing that the things belong to the women. In sentence A, 'home's' is also correct for showing possession. However, sentence C incorrectly uses an apostrophe to indicate plural instead of possession. In sentence D, the correct form should be 'my grandparents' without an additional 's' after the apostrophe to show possession.

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 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 4 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.
