Question 2 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 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
Which of the following sentences correctly uses apostrophes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct use of apostrophes is to show possession. In sentence B, 'women's' correctly indicates possession, showing that the things belong to the women. In sentence A, 'home's' is also correct for showing possession. However, sentence C incorrectly uses an apostrophe to indicate plural instead of possession. In sentence D, the correct form should be 'my grandparents' without an additional 's' after the apostrophe to show possession.
Question 5 of 5
What is the term for the spaces between the ribs that contain the veins?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct term for the spaces between the ribs that contain the veins is 'intercostal spaces.' Intercostal spaces are the specific anatomical regions between the ribs where the veins are located. The term 'costal spaces' in option B is incorrect as 'costal' pertains to the ribs themselves, not the spaces between them. Option C, 'spaces,' is too general and does not identify the anatomical location. Option D, 'inter spaces,' is not a valid anatomical term. Therefore, the correct answer is 'intercostal spaces,' which precisely describes the spaces between the ribs.
