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

Rationale: The word "remains" is a verb in the sentence. Here's why: 1. Function: It is the main verb in the sentence, indicating the action of the water staying in the sky. 2. 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.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following is correctly punctuated?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses commas to set off the non-restrictive clause "whose death shocked America in April of 2016." The commas indicate that this information is additional and not essential to the main sentence. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the second comma after 2016. Choice C is incorrect as it uses dashes incorrectly, which should only be used to set off non-essential information. Choice D is incorrect as it correctly uses commas but lacks the second comma after 2016.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following phrases follows the rules of capitalization?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it follows the rules of capitalization for titles and proper nouns. "Robert Jones" is capitalized as it is a specific person's name, and "Senator" is capitalized as it is a title when referring to a specific person. The other choices have incorrect capitalization. A should have "president" lowercase unless directly preceding the name, C should have "aunt" and "uncle" lowercase unless directly preceding the names, and D should have "New Year's Eve" capitalized as it is a proper noun.

Question 4 of 5

The patient's preoperative evaluation is scheduled for next Wednesday. In the sentence, the prefix pre- indicates that the evaluation will take place at which of the following times?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefix "pre-" means before. In this context, "preoperative" means before the operation. Therefore, the evaluation will take place before the operation. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of the prefix "pre-": B: After the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." C: During the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." D: Outside of the operation - This is not related to the prefix "pre-."

Question 5 of 5

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences includes members whose topics of study span many disciplines such as math, science, arts, humanities, public affairs, and business. Which of the following is an appropriate synonym for disciplines as it is used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: fields. In the context provided, "disciplines" refers to specific areas of study or expertise. "Fields" is an appropriate synonym as it also denotes specialized subjects or branches of knowledge. The other choices, A: locations, B: regions, and C: punishments, do not align with the meaning of "disciplines" in the sentence and are therefore incorrect. Locations and regions refer to physical places, while punishments relate to penalties or consequences, none of which are related to the diverse areas of study mentioned in the sentence.
