Question 1 of 5

Which of the following words is a synonym for 'happy'?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Joyful.' 'Joyful' is a synonym for 'happy' as both words convey feelings of pleasure, contentment, and delight. Choice 'A: Sad' is incorrect as it is an antonym of 'happy,' representing feelings of sorrow or unhappiness. 'Angry' in choice 'C' and 'Tired' in choice 'D' are also incorrect as they represent different emotional states and do not share the same meaning as 'happy.'

Question 2 of 5

What is the function of an adjective in a sentence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The function of an adjective in a sentence is to describe or modify a noun. Adjectives provide more information about the noun they modify, such as its size, color, shape, etc. For example, in the sentence 'The tall building,' 'tall' is an adjective describing the noun 'building.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Adjectives do not describe verbs (adverbs do that), connect clauses (conjunctions do that), or show action (verbs do that).

Question 3 of 5

In the sentence 'Singing is my favorite activity,' how does 'Singing' function in terms of parts of speech?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence provided, 'Singing' is a gerund, which is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. It represents the action of singing, but in this context, it acts as the subject of the sentence. Therefore, 'Noun' is the correct answer. 'Verb' (choice A) is incorrect because while gerunds are verb forms, in this sentence, 'Singing' is not acting as a verb. 'Adjective' (choice C) is incorrect as it describes a noun, which is not the case here. 'Pronoun' (choice D) is also incorrect as 'Singing' does not replace a noun in this sentence.

Question 4 of 5

The top-secret blueprints were for an intergalactic spaceship. Which of the following is the meaning of the prefix 'inter-' as used in the sentence above?

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 5 of 5

Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the word 'emulate': Felicia always tried to emulate her big sister, so she would often imitate the way she spoke, moved, and dressed.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: imitate.' In the sentence, it is explicitly stated that Felicia would often imitate her big sister, which directly relates to the meaning of 'emulate' as to copy or imitate someone else. 'Tried' (choice A) does not provide a direct connection to the definition of 'emulate.' 'Often' (choice B) and 'way' (choice D) are not directly associated with the act of imitating or copying, making them less relevant context clues for defining 'emulate.'
