Question 1 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 2 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 3 of 5
Which of the following options best completes the sentence below? The responsibilities of a class president are extensive; ................., she should not become so involved that she neglects her studies.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'however.' The word 'however' is used to contrast or show opposition between two parts of a sentence. In this context, it highlights a shift in focus from the extensive responsibilities of a class president to a warning about not neglecting studies. 'Especially' would not be the best choice here as it does not provide the needed contrast. 'Therefore' would imply a conclusion rather than a contrasting idea, and 'indeed' does not establish the intended contrast required in the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
A pastry chef is organizing the syllabus for a breads class at a local community college. They first want to make sure that the students know about the basic type of equipment used in commercial bread making. After discussing equipment, the chef wishes to teach a few simple lessons on simple dough, including traditional ones and those with ancient grains, and then cover enriched dough in both sweet and savory applications. Given all of these requirements, how should the chef outline the course?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Equipment'. The chef should outline the course starting with equipment used in commercial bread making as it is essential for students to understand the tools necessary before moving on to different types of dough. This approach ensures a structured learning process, building a foundation before progressing to more complex topics like simple dough, traditional and ancient grains, and enriched doughs in sweet and savory applications.
Question 5 of 5
Which language convention is violated in the sentence: 'The gist of the saying went something like this: If a person wants to get ahead in life, you have to be willing to work for it'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The violation in the sentence is the incorrect punctuation of the introductory clause. A colon should not be used after 'this' and before 'If' as it is not introducing a list or an explanation. The correct structure would be: 'The gist of the saying went something like this; if a person wants to get ahead in life, you have to be willing to work for it.' The semicolon correctly separates the introductory clause from the subsequent independent clause.
