Question 1 of 5

Which of the following sentences is written in the active voice?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'John threw the ball.' Active voice sentences have the subject performing the action, which is the case in this sentence where 'John' is the subject performing the action 'threw.' Choices A, C, and D are in passive voice where the subject receives the action rather than performing it.

Question 2 of 5

What type of sentence is the following: 'If it rains tomorrow, the picnic will be canceled'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The given sentence, 'If it rains tomorrow, the picnic will be canceled,' is a complex sentence. It consists of an independent clause 'the picnic will be canceled' and a dependent clause 'If it rains tomorrow.' A simple sentence contains just one independent clause, a compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and a compound-complex sentence contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect for this sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Identify the main clause in the sentence: 'Although she was tired, she finished her work on time.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The main clause is the independent clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. In this sentence, 'She finished her work on time' is the main clause because it expresses a complete thought independently. Choices A and B are subordinate clauses as they cannot stand alone as complete sentences. Choice D lacks the subject 'she,' making it incomplete and not a main clause.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following sentences uses 'affect' correctly?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct usage of 'affect' in a sentence is as a verb meaning to influence something, as in 'The weather will affect our plans.' Choice A is incorrect because 'affect' should be 'effect,' which is a noun representing the result of an action. Choice C is incorrect as 'affect' should be 'effect' to describe a disorder. Choice D is incorrect because 'affect' should be 'effect' to convey the result of the news.

Question 5 of 5

According to the prefix 'intra-,' which of the following is the best definition of the word 'intravenous'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'intra-' means 'within,' so 'intravenous' refers to something within veins. Choice A, 'Across veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' does not indicate movement across but within. Choice B, 'Between veins,' is incorrect because 'intra-' does not imply a relationship between two separate veins. Choice D, 'Outside veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' signifies something inside or within, not outside.
