Question 1 of 5

Which word is most closely associated with the adjective 'ambiguous'?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'ambiguous' implies having multiple interpretations or uncertainty, which aligns closely with 'vague,' the correct answer. 'Vague' denotes a lack of clarity or definiteness, making it the most appropriate synonym in this context. 'Precise' (
Choice
A) is the opposite of ambiguous, indicating exactness and clarity, so it is not the best choice. 'Definite' (
Choice
C) also contrasts with ambiguous as it suggests clear and certain meaning. 'Straightforward' (
Choice
D) implies directness and simplicity, which does not capture the essence of ambiguity.

Question 2 of 5

What is the function of the underlined phrase 'with a mischievous grin' in the sentence 'He approached her with a mischievous grin, his eyes twinkling'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The underlined phrase 'with a mischievous grin' functions as an adverbial phrase in the sentence. It modifies the verb 'approached' by providing information on how he approached her, describing his manner. Adverbial phrases typically answer questions like 'how,' 'when,' 'where,' 'why,' or 'to what extent,' which this phrase does by indicating the manner in which he approached.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. The phrase does not serve as a subject (
A), direct object (
B), or appositive phrase (
D) in the sentence. Instead, it functions to provide additional information about the action of approaching, making it an adverbial phrase.

Question 3 of 5

Which word has the same root as 'unscathed'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'unscathed' means without harm or damage. The word 'scratch' shares the same root related to physical marks or damage, making it the correct choice. 'Category' and 'scar' do not have the same root as 'unscathed' and are not related to the concept of being unharmed, making them incorrect choices.

Question 4 of 5

The sentence 'The audience was captivated by the speaker's compelling story' implies that the audience:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The term 'captivated' in the sentence indicates that the audience was completely engrossed and engaged by the speaker's compelling story. This implies that they were absorbed and highly interested in what was being presented.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'captivated' suggests a positive and attentive reaction from the audience rather than boredom, confusion, or disagreement.

Question 5 of 5

Which sentence uses the colon correctly?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Colons are used to introduce a list or explanation that follows an independent clause. In this case, option A correctly uses a colon to introduce a list of snacks after an independent clause.
Choice B lacks an independent clause before the colon, making it incorrect.
Choice C is incorrect as it should have an independent clause before the colon.
Choice D incorrectly uses a colon as a comma would be more appropriate to introduce the list of items.
