Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct tone for the sentence 'The presentation was informative and engaging' is neutral. This is because the statement simply provides a factual description of the presentation without any emotional bias or attitude. It does not convey sarcasm, anger, or confusion. The tone reflects a straightforward observation without any additional emotional connotations.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: from. In this sentence, 'borrowed money from her friend,' the preposition 'from' indicates the source or origin of the borrowed money. 'Of' suggests possession, 'on' indicates location or surface, and 'for' implies purpose or benefit, which do not fit the context of borrowing money from someone. Therefore, 'from' is the most appropriate preposition in this sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "ouch." An interjection is a word or phrase used to express strong emotion or sudden feeling. In this sentence, "ouch" is used to convey pain, making it the interjection. The other choices, A, B, and D, do not serve the same purpose and are not interjections. "Table" and "leg" are nouns, while "stubbed" is a verb. Therefore, "ouch" is the correct interjection in the sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!' is an exclamatory sentence because it expresses strong emotion or excitement. It conveys the speaker's amazement at the beauty of the sunset. Exclamatory sentences typically end with an exclamation mark and are used to show feelings. Rationale: 1. The presence of the exclamation mark indicates strong emotion. 2. The word 'Wow' is an interjection expressing surprise or admiration. 3. The sentence is not a question (interrogative), statement (declarative), or command (imperative). Summary: - A (Interrogative sentence): Not correct as there is no question being asked. - B (Declarative sentence): Not correct as it does not make a statement or provide information. - D (Imperative sentence): Not correct as it does not give a command or instruction.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it contains a comma splice. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined together with a comma without a conjunction or appropriate punctuation. In choice C, "He arrived late" and "the meeting had already started" are both independent clauses that should be separated by a semicolon or conjunction. Choices A, B, and D do not contain comma splices as they correctly use commas to separate items in a list, introduce additional information, or set off non-essential clauses.
