Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Regardless. This transitional word indicates a contrast or opposition between ideas. "Regardless" is used to show that a particular fact or situation does not affect the truth of what you are saying. The other choices - B: Furthermore, C: Additionally, and D: Moreover - are all used to add more information or strengthen a point, rather than to show contrast.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it maintains clarity and correct sentence structure. In this sentence, the subject "she" is followed by the verb "says," then the direct statement she is making. Choice C correctly places "that some of the outfits that students wear to school are distracting and inappropriate" after "She says," making it a clear and coherent sentence. Choices A, B, and D all have issues with sentence structure and clarity. Choice A places "she is saying" in the middle of the sentence, disrupting the flow. Choice B incorrectly separates "she says" from the statement it is introducing. Choice D creates a confusing structure by placing "that students wear outfits to school" at the end of the sentence. These choices do not effectively communicate the intended message compared to choice C.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The prefix "per-" in the word 'perceive' means 'through', indicating the act of seeing or understanding something thoroughly. It suggests a thorough and detailed process or action. The other choices are not as suitable: 'Across' indicates movement from one side to the other, 'By' implies proximity or agency, and 'With' suggests association or accompaniment. Therefore, 'Through' is the most appropriate interpretation of the prefix 'per-' in this context.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: affect; your. In the sentence, "affect" should be used as it means to have an influence on something. "Your" is the possessive form of "you," correctly indicating that the children mentioned in the sentence belong to the person being addressed. Therefore, "affect; your" is the appropriate choice. Choice A (effect; your) is incorrect because "effect" is a noun meaning a change that results from an action, whereas "affect" is the verb needed in this context. Choice B (affect; you're) is incorrect as "you're" is a contraction for "you are" and does not make sense in the sentence. Choice D (effect; you're) is also incorrect due to the same reasons as choice B.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'worryed' should be 'worried'. The error in the sentence is a misspelling of the word 'worried'. The correct spelling should be 'worried' as it is the past tense of the verb 'worry'. The other choices are incorrect because: A: 'family' should not be pluralized to 'families' as it refers to a singular group in this context. C: 'airport' is already correct and does not need to be changed. D: 'their' is the correct possessive pronoun for 'flight', so 'there' is incorrect in this context.
