Question 3 of 5
She is a gifted pianist, although she's struggling with the piece for her upcoming concert.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because there is a tense disagreement in the sentence. The use of 'was' (past tense) and 'she's' (contraction of 'she is' present tense) creates an inconsistency in the verb tense. The sentence should maintain consistency either in past tense ('She was a gifted pianist, although she struggled with the piece for her upcoming concert') or present tense ('She is a gifted pianist, although she's struggling with the piece for her upcoming concert'). Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as the issue in the sentence is related to verb tense disagreement, not transition words, diction, or sentence completeness.
Question 4 of 5
Janine was so nervous that she was surprisingly graceless and awkward on stage. What is the meaning of the word 'graceless' as used in the sentence below?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word 'graceless' in this context means lacking elegance or poise. Janine's nervousness caused her to act awkwardly and without the elegance one would typically expect on stage. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Against fear,' 'Without religion,' and 'Full of caution' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'graceless' in the given sentence.
Question 5 of 5
According to the affixes, which of the following words refers to the love of books?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Bibliophile.' The term 'biblio-' is an affix that refers to books, and '-phile' denotes love or attraction. Therefore, 'bibliophile' specifically means a person who loves or collects books. Choice A, 'Logophile,' while containing the '-phile' suffix denoting love, relates to words instead of books. Choices C and D, 'Discophile' and 'Audiophile,' are incorrect as they respectively pertain to music records and sound systems, not books.
