Question 1 of 5
Cassidy's track and field experience was greater than any in her school's history. Cassidy was quite tall at 5'10". This made hurdling easier, which is where she got her start. It was easy to spot Cassidy with her long ponytail.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The detail about Cassidy's ponytail is irrelevant to her track and field experience and can be removed.
Choices A, B, and C provide relevant information about Cassidy's track and field experience and how her height contributed to her hurdling skills. However, choice D is the correct answer as it highlights an unrelated detail about her appearance, which does not impact her athletic abilities or achievements in track and field.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is important to do while writing the first draft of a research paper?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When writing the first draft of a research paper, it is crucial to include the complete structure, which consists of the introduction, body, and conclusion. This approach helps in organizing your thoughts and ideas cohesively, ensuring that your paper flows logically.
Choice A is not directly related to the drafting process.
Choice B suggests an incorrect sequence by proposing to write the conclusion first, which should actually be crafted after the body of the paper.
Choice D is important but typically done during the editing and revision stages rather than in the initial draft.
Question 3 of 5
Which sentence correctly uses quotation marks in connection with an indirect quote?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Choice D correctly uses quotation marks to indicate the specific phrase 'the storm of a century.' In this sentence, the indirect quote is highlighted within the quotation marks.
Choices A, B, and C do not correctly use quotation marks with an indirect quote.
Choice A incorrectly places a comma inside the quotation marks, which should be outside.
Choice B does not have any quotation marks around the indirect quote.
Choice C uses double quotation marks unnecessarily around the indirect quote.
Question 4 of 5
Who is probably the oldest person in my family?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: The oldest person in my family.' The complete subject of the sentence is 'The oldest person in my family,' which includes all the words that describe who or what the sentence is about.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not form a complete subject that accurately represents who the sentence is referring to in the context of the family relationship.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a prepositional phrase?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'After the game.' A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object, describing a relationship in time, location, or direction. In this case, 'After' is the preposition, and 'the game' is its object, making it a prepositional phrase.
Choices B, C, and D do not contain prepositional phrases.
Choice B, 'Running fast,' is a gerund phrase with an adverb modifying a verb.
Choice C, 'She sings,' is a subject-verb sentence construction.
Choice D, 'Can you help me?' is an interrogative sentence asking for assistance.
