Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Identify the independent clause in the following sentence: You need to call your mother as soon as you get home.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "You need to call your mother." An independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone and express a complete thought. In this sentence, the clause "You need to call your mother" functions independently and makes complete sense by itself. Choice B, "As soon as you get home," is a dependent clause as it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Choice C, "You get home," is also a dependent clause lacking a complete thought. Choice D, "You need to call," is not a complete sentence without specifying who needs to call.
Question 3 of 5
Select the pronoun that could be used in the following sentence: Mrs. Sato, _______ lives down the street, is 99 years old.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: I _________ about it for a long time before I decided to major in criminal justice.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'thought.' 'Thought' is the correct past tense form of 'think.' In this sentence, 'thought' is used to indicate that the thinking process happened in the past before deciding to major in criminal justice. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Think' is the present tense form, 'thank' is a different verb with a different meaning, and 'thinked' is not a valid past tense form of 'think.'
Question 5 of 5
Identify the preposition in the following sentence: It's really hot in that room.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is "C: in." A preposition is a word that shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence. In this sentence, 'in' is the preposition, indicating the location of the heat relative to the room. Choices A, B, and D are not prepositions. 'It' is a pronoun, 'hot' is an adjective, and 'that' is a demonstrative pronoun in this context, not a preposition.
