Question 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences does not belong in a paragraph about caring for newly hatched chickens?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a paragraph about caring for newly hatched chickens, the focus is on the care of the chicks themselves, not on egg collection. Choices B, C, and D all provide specific instructions on caring for the chicks, such as providing water, maintaining temperature, and deciding on their food, which are relevant to the topic. However, choice A about egg collection is not directly related to the care of the newly hatched chickens. It pertains to egg production and fertility, which is a separate aspect of poultry management. Thus, it does not fit within the context of caring for newly hatched chicks and should be excluded from the paragraph focusing on immediate care practices for the chicks.
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
Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: anthropology.' The affix 'anthropo-' refers to humans, and '-logy' denotes the study of something. Therefore, 'anthropology' means the study of humans. 'Anthropomorphism' (choice A) involves attributing human characteristics to non-human entities. 'Biology' (choice B) is the study of living organisms. 'Philanthropy' (choice D) is the desire to promote the welfare of others, typically through donations.
Question 5 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.
