Question 1 of 5

Which of the following words is spelled correctly?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Millennium. The word "Millennium" is spelled correctly as it refers to a period of one thousand years. The spelling follows standard English rules, with double "l" and double "n." The other choices, A: Miniscool, B: Miniature, and C: Maintenance, are incorrect due to misspellings. "Miniscool" is not a recognized word, "Miniature" has an incorrect placement of "i" and "a," and "Maintenance" has an incorrect placement of "e" and "a." Therefore, D is the correct choice based on proper English spelling conventions.

Question 4 of 5

As the tour group approached the bottom of Chichen Itza, the prodigious Mayan pyramid, they became nervous about climbing its distant peak. Based on the context of the sentence, which of the following words shows the correct meaning of the word prodigious?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Very large. In the context of the sentence, "prodigious" is used to describe the Mayan pyramid, implying that it is exceptionally large or impressive. The word "prodigious" often means extraordinary in size or extent, which aligns with the description of the pyramid as being distant and imposing. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not capture the intended meaning of "prodigious" in this context. "Famous" (B), "Very old" (C), and "Fancy" (D) do not convey the sense of immense size or grandeur associated with the Mayan pyramid.

Question 5 of 5

What type of sentence is the following: 'If it rains tomorrow, the picnic will be canceled'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Complex. This sentence has an independent clause 'the picnic will be canceled' and a dependent clause 'If it rains tomorrow'. The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, making it a complex sentence. A simple sentence (A) consists of just one independent clause, a compound sentence (B) has two or more independent clauses, and a compound-complex sentence (D) has at least one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
