Question 1 of 5
Which of the following sentences is likely to be found in a descriptive passage about a county fair?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it vividly describes a typical scene at a county fair, mentioning a specific attraction, the Ferris wheel, and setting the ambiance by mentioning the night sky. This creates a vivid image for the reader, capturing the essence of a county fair. Choices B, C, and D do not specifically capture the essence of a county fair's descriptive passage, as they focus on different aspects such as suggestions for competitions and events happening around the fairgrounds, rather than painting a descriptive picture of the fair itself.

Question 2 of 5
In which of the following situations is a citation needed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A citation is needed when using someone else's work, such as song lyrics, to support a point to avoid plagiarism and give credit to the original creator. In this scenario, the student should provide a citation for the song lyrics used to adhere to academic integrity and acknowledge the source of the lyrics.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
The fact that she lied to her best friend weighed heavily on her...............
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct spelling in this context is 'conscience,' which refers to an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior. In the given scenario, the person is feeling guilty about lying, which aligns with the concept of conscience. It is important to understand the correct spelling to ensure effective communication and comprehension in written contexts.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a compound sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. In choice C, 'He ran' and 'she ran faster' are two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction 'but,' making it a compound sentence. The conjunction 'but' connects the two independent clauses, each capable of standing alone as a complete sentence.
