Question 2 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.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 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 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.
