Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements about a paragraph's concluding sentence is true?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'It summarizes the paragraph's main point.' The concluding sentence of a paragraph typically restates the main idea or central theme of that paragraph. It serves to bring closure and reinforce the key points discussed in the paragraph, providing a sense of completion to the reader. While the topic sentence introduces the main idea of the paragraph, the concluding sentence ties everything together by summarizing what has been discussed within the paragraph itself, not necessarily the entire essay. Therefore, option B is the most accurate description of the function of a paragraph's concluding sentence.

Question 2 of 5
According to the prefix 'mal-', which of the following phrases best defines 'malformed'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The prefix 'mal-' is a prefix that denotes something bad, improper, or negative. When combined with 'formed,' it indicates that something is poorly shaped or structured. Therefore, 'malformed' refers to something that is badly formed, aligning with the correct choice C, 'badly formed.' This term describes something that is not correctly or adequately shaped, making it the most suitable definition among the options provided.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
I had to rack my brain and plumb the depths of my resources to overcome the foul consequences of my previous vice. Which of the following homophones should be used to correct the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the given sentence, the correct homophone to use is 'plumb,' which means to explore or examine thoroughly. 'Wrack' should be 'rack,' and 'foul' should be 'fowl' to maintain the context. Therefore, the correct choice is 'plumb' as it fits perfectly in the sentence to convey the intended meaning. 'Rack' in this context means to strain or stretch one's brain, and 'fowl' refers to birds, which are unrelated to the context of exploring resources.
Question 5 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.
