Question 1 of 5

During the Civil War, the United States, still a fairly young country, was divided into the North and South on strongly felt issues. President Abraham Lincoln took a stand on the side of the North, which ultimately emerged victorious. What is the most appropriate topic sentence for the passage below?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The most appropriate topic sentence for the passage is A: "The Civil War was a war that was not easily won, but hard fought." This is because the passage discusses the challenges faced during the Civil War, emphasizing the struggle and effort put forth by both sides. - Choice B is incorrect as it simply states a fact about when the Civil War ended, but does not capture the essence of the passage. - Choice C is incorrect as it introduces a specific detail about Jefferson Davis that is not the main focus of the passage. - Choice D is incorrect as it broadens the scope to civil wars in general, which is not the main topic discussed in the passage about the American Civil War.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following examples is a compound sentence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it consists of two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "so." This conjunction indicates a cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses, making it a compound sentence. The other choices either do not have two independent clauses or do not have a coordinating conjunction connecting them, making them simple or complex sentences.

Question 4 of 5

In which of the following sentences does the word 'part' function as an adjective?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'part' functions as an adjective in sentence D ("Ronaldo is part Irish on his mother's side of the family") because it describes Ronaldo's Irish heritage. In this context, 'part' is used to indicate a portion or share of his ancestry, serving as an adjective modifying 'Irish.' In sentences A, B, and C, 'part' is used as a noun referring to a role, a separation, and a contribution, respectively. Therefore, only in sentence D does 'part' function as an adjective.

Question 5 of 5

According to the prefix 'intra-,' which of the following is the best definition of the word 'intravenous'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'intra-' means 'within.' 'Intravenous' refers to something within a vein. It is commonly used to describe medications or fluids administered directly into a vein. The correct answer is C: Within veins. Option A, 'Across veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' does not imply movement across something. Option B, 'Between veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' refers to within, not between. Option D, 'Outside veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' denotes inside or within, not outside.
