Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "But". A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. In this case, "But" is a conjunction used to indicate a contrast or opposition between ideas. The other choices, "Quickly", "Very", and "Apple", are not conjunctions. "Quickly" is an adverb, "Very" is an adverb, and "Apple" is a noun, none of which serve the function of connecting words, phrases, or clauses as conjunctions do.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A strong thesis statement is a crucial element in academic writing as it clearly states the argument that will be supported throughout the paper. This statement serves as a roadmap for the reader to understand the main point of the paper.
Choice A is incorrect because a strong thesis is not necessarily endorsed by a professor but is based on the writer's perspective.
Choice C is incorrect as a thesis should reflect the writer's position, not necessarily the opinions of most people.
Choice D is incorrect because a strong thesis should invite critical thinking and argumentation, rather than being immune to reasonable counterarguments.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Choice A is the correct answer. The word 'relevant' is spelled correctly in this sentence, and the sentence is well-constructed. In

Choices B, C, and D, the word 'relevant' is misspelled as 'revelant,' 'relevent,' and 'relavance' respectively. These incorrect spellings make

Choices B, C, and D grammatically incorrect, thereby making
Choice A the only correct option.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'However, online students often work entirely from home, which is just one part of what makes online learning different.' provides a contrast and smoothly transitions to a discussion of what makes online learning distinct from traditional classroom settings.
Choice A talks about the components of a course but does not transition to a new point.
Choice B discusses similarities between online and traditional courses, which does not transition to a new topic.
Choice C focuses on interactions with professors but does not transition to a new idea.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Choice D is the correct answer as it uses quotation marks to properly set off the spoken words. In this sentence, the spoken words by Philip are enclosed within double quotation marks and correctly punctuated with a comma before the attribution 'said Philip.'

Choices A, B, and C contain errors such as missing commas, incorrect placement of quotation marks, or incorrect punctuation within the quoted speech. For example, in
Choice A, there should be a comma after 'appetite' within the quotation. In
Choice B, the comma should be placed inside the quotation marks.
Choice C incorrectly places the attribution 'said Philip' within the quotation of spoken words, which is not the standard practice.
