Question 1 of 5

Though professional dental care is widely available in the developed world, the prevalence of cavities is much higher there. Which of the following parts of speech is widely used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: adverb. In the sentence, "widely" modifies the verb "available," providing information on the extent to which professional dental care is available. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "adjective" - Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, not verbs. B: "noun" - Nouns are not used to modify other parts of speech in the sentence. D: "verb" - While the sentence contains a verb, the question is asking about the part of speech used to modify another part of speech, which is the function of an adverb in this case.

Question 2 of 5

Parrots, among the most intelligent birds in the world, have been prized pets for many centuries; in fact, the first recorded instance of parrot training was written in the thirteenth century. Which of the following is a synonym for prized as used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: valued. In the context of the sentence, "prized" is used to convey that parrots have been highly valued as pets for many centuries. The word "prized" implies that parrots are considered precious or highly esteemed. Therefore, a synonym for "prized" in this context would be "valued," as it captures the idea of something being highly regarded or treasured. A: Unlikely - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the meaning of something being highly valued or esteemed. B: Misunderstood - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the idea of something being highly valued or prized. C: Rewarded - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the meaning of something being highly valued or treasured.

Which of the following sentences has correct pronoun-antecedent agreement?

Correct Answer: C

Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: A: The pronoun "it" in "it left" does not have a clear antecedent. B: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular antecedent "Each of the cars." D: The pronoun "they" does not have a clear antecedent, and there is a lack of agreement in number between the antecedent and pronoun.

Question 4 of 5

Typically, water that has evaporated remains in the sky in cloud form for less than ten days before falling to Earth again as precipitation. Which of the following parts of speech is 'remains' as used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: B

Action: Verbs show actions or states of being, and "remains" shows the state of the water staying. 3. Inflection: Verbs can be inflected to show tense, mood, aspect, and agreement. In this case, "remains" is inflected for present tense. 4. Context: The word "remains" fits the sentence structure as a verb, connecting the subject (water) to the predicate (staying in the sky). In summary, 'remains' is a verb because it functions as the main action in the sentence, showing the state of the water, and fits the context and structure of the sentence. The other choices (noun, adjective, adverb) do not accurately describe the function of 'remains' in the

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following root words would be used in a word related to the body?

Correct Answer: A

Choices B (auto), C (man), and D (bio) are not related to the body. Auto pertains to self or automatic, man refers to human beings, and bio is related to life or living organisms. Therefore, A is the correct choice for a word related to the body.
