Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it contains a single independent clause that expresses a complete thought. The subject "Phillippa and Primula" is performing the actions "walked the dog" and "gave the dog a bath" in a straightforward manner without any additional clauses or conjunctions. A: Incorrect - Contains two independent clauses connected by the conjunction "and." B: Incorrect - Contains a compound predicate but also has additional clauses and conjunctions. C: Incorrect - Contains two independent clauses connected by the conjunction "while." In summary, D is the only choice that presents a single simple sentence with a clear subject, verb, and complete thought.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Study. The suffix -logy is derived from the Greek word "logia," meaning "study" or "science." In the given words, anthropology is the study of humans, biology is the study of living organisms, cosmetology is the study of beauty treatments, etymology is the study of word origins, and genealogy is the study of family history. Therefore, the common theme among these words is that they all represent different fields of study or sciences, making "Study" the most likely meaning of the suffix -logy. Summary: A: Record - Incorrect. The suffix -logy does not imply recording but rather the study or science of a specific field. C: Science - Incorrect. While -logy is related to science, the primary meaning is study rather than science itself. D: Technique - Incorrect. The suffix -logy does not pertain to techniques but rather to the academic study or science of a subject.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the sentence correctly uses double quotation marks for the dialogue spoken by Grady. The dialogue itself is enclosed within double quotation marks, while the entire sentence is enclosed within single quotation marks. This is the standard convention for punctuating dialogue in writing. Incorrect choices: A: Incorrect use of single and double quotation marks. The entire sentence should be enclosed in single quotation marks, not double. B: Missing quotation marks around the dialogue spoken by Grady. Dialogue should be enclosed in quotation marks. D: The entire sentence should be enclosed in single quotation marks, not double.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Brainstorm topics. Javier has already outlined his paper, written a draft, and revised it, which indicates that he has already selected a topic and developed it into a draft. Brainstorming topics usually comes before outlining the paper. Researching reliable sources, writing a second draft, and selecting a topic have all been completed based on the information provided.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct plural form of "syllabus" is "syllabi" because it follows the standard English rule for forming plurals of words ending in -us by changing the -us to -i. In this case, the word "syllabus" ends in -us, so the plural form becomes "syllabi." Choice A (Syllabus) is incorrect because it is the singular form of the word, not the plural. Choice B (Syllaba) is incorrect because it does not follow the standard pluralization rule for words ending in -us. Choice D (Syllabis) is also incorrect as it does not adhere to the correct pluralization rule for the word "syllabus."
