Question 1 of 4

Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the multiple meaning word formula: 'The mother gave her baby his formula after he woke up from his nap in the car.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: baby.' In the sentence, 'baby' is the context clue that helps define the multiple meaning word 'formula.' Here, 'formula' refers to baby food, as babies typically consume formula. The word 'baby' directly relates to the context of feeding a baby with formula. Choice A, 'mother,' is not directly related to the meaning of 'formula' in this context. Choices C and D, 'nap' and 'car,' are also not directly connected to the meaning of 'formula' as they do not provide any relevant information about the word's meaning in this sentence.

Question 2 of 4

Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the word pungent: 'The pungent odor in the room made everyone's eyes tear for a few minutes.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: odor.' In the sentence provided, 'odor' serves as the context clue that helps define 'pungent' as a strong smell. The word 'pungent' commonly refers to something having a sharply strong scent, and 'odor' directly relates to this meaning in the sentence. Choices 'B: room,' 'C: made,' and 'D: tear' do not provide contextual information about the meaning of 'pungent,' making them incorrect choices for defining the word in this context.

Question 3 of 4

Identify the type of sentence: 'The sky is blue, and the grass is green.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, compound sentence. This sentence consists of two independent clauses ('The sky is blue' and 'the grass is green') that are joined by the coordinating conjunction 'and.' A simple sentence contains a single independent clause. In contrast, a complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. A compound-complex sentence consists of multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause, which are not present in the given sentence, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

Question 4 of 4

Which of the following is a run-on sentence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The cat slept on the mat; she purred softly.' This sentence is a run-on because it contains two independent clauses ('The cat slept on the mat' and 'she purred softly') without proper punctuation. Choice A is incorrect as it is a compound sentence with a coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses. Choice C is also incorrect as it is a compound sentence connected by a coordinating conjunction 'so.' Choice D is not a run-on sentence; it is a compound sentence with a coordinating conjunction 'or' joining two independent clauses.
