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
Which of the following is a complete sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. Choice A, 'I walked all three dogs around the park this morning,' is a complete sentence as it contains a subject 'I' and a predicate 'walked all three dogs around the park this morning.' In contrast, Choices B, C, and D are sentence fragments because they are missing either a subject, a predicate, or both. Choice B lacks a subject, Choices C and D are sentence fragments because they do not form a complete thought without a main verb.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences demonstrates correct grammar and usage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'If fewer people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.' In this sentence, 'fewer' is correctly used to refer to countable items, and 'people' is a countable noun. 'Effect' is the correct term to describe the result of fewer people watching the television series. The usage of 'affect' in choices B and C is incorrect; 'affect' is a verb meaning to influence, while 'effect' is a noun meaning result or consequence. Therefore, choice A is the only option that is both grammatically correct and uses the appropriate terms in the context provided.
Question 4 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 5 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.
