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.

Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct plural spelling of 'thesis' is 'theses,' making option A incorrect. Option B, 'parentheses,' is the correct plural form of 'parenthesis.' Option C, 'data,' is already in its plural form and does not require alteration. Option D, 'syllabi,' is the correct plural of 'syllabus,' making it the right answer to this question.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following parts of speech describes the word 'incredibly' as used in the sentence: 'The pumpkin crop was incredibly small this year because of excessive rain in the spring and heat in the summer'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the sentence provided, 'incredibly' is used to modify the adjective 'small,' indicating the degree of smallness. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this context, 'incredibly' functions as an adverb by providing more information on the extent of the adjective 'small.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'adverb.' Adverbs answer questions like 'how,' 'when,' 'where,' 'why,' or 'to what extent' and can modify adjectives to provide more detail or context. In this case, 'incredibly' modifies 'small,' demonstrating the degree of smallness, making it an adverb in this sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences contains formal language suitable for academic writing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer as it uses formal language commonly found in academic writing. It maintains an objective tone by employing professional terminology and structured language. Choices A, B, and D contain informal elements such as personal beliefs ('I believe' in A), casual terms ('guys' in B), and contractions ('don't' in D), making them unsuitable for academic writing. In academic contexts, it is crucial to convey information in a formal and professional manner, as exemplified by choice C.
