Question 1 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 5 of 5
I had to rack my brain and plumb the depths of my resources to overcome the foul consequences of my previous vice. Which of the following homophones should be used to correct the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the given sentence, the correct homophone to use is 'plumb,' which means to explore or examine thoroughly. 'Wrack' should be 'rack,' and 'foul' should be 'fowl' to maintain the context. Therefore, the correct choice is 'plumb' as it fits perfectly in the sentence to convey the intended meaning. 'Rack' in this context means to strain or stretch one's brain, and 'fowl' refers to birds, which are unrelated to the context of exploring resources.
