Which of the following demonstrates correct punctuation?
- A. Graham still needs the following items for his class: a sable brush, soft pastels, a sketchbook, and an easel.
- B. Graham still needs the following items for his class, a sable brush, soft pastels, a sketchbook, and an easel.
- C. Graham still needs the following items for his class: a sable brush; soft pastels; a sketchbook; and an easel.
- D. Graham still needs the following items for his class - a sable brush; soft pastels; a sketchbook; and an easel.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A demonstrates correct punctuation. The sentence uses a colon to introduce a list, which is the most appropriate punctuation in this context. A colon is typically used to signal that a list or explanation follows, making it the suitable choice here. Choices B, C, and D either use a comma, semi-colon, or dash incorrectly to introduce the list, deviating from the standard punctuation rule for listing items. Therefore, they are incorrect in the context of this sentence.
Which of the following words functions as a pronoun in the sentence below? Anne-Charlotte and I will be driving together to the picnic this weekend.
- A. Be
- B. This
- C. Together
- D. I
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence provided, 'I' functions as a pronoun. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. In this case, 'I' replaces the name of the speaker (the person talking), making it a pronoun. 'Be' is a verb, 'this' is a demonstrative pronoun, and 'together' is an adverb indicating the manner in which Anne-Charlotte and the speaker will be driving. Therefore, 'I' is the correct answer.
What is the most effective way to combine the two sentences below?
- A. German cuisine is known for its hearty meat and potato dishes but families often enjoy a rich Sunday dinner of roast meat, potatoes, and cabbage.
- B. German cuisine is known for its hearty meat and potato dishes, but families often enjoy a rich Sunday dinner of roast meat, potatoes, and cabbage.
- C. German cuisine is known for its hearty meat and potato dishes and families often enjoy a rich Sunday dinner of roast meat, potatoes, and cabbage.
- D. German cuisine is known for its hearty meat and potato dishes, and families often enjoy a rich Sunday dinner of roast meat, potatoes, and cabbage.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. This choice effectively combines the two sentences with the use of a comma before 'and' to connect the two related but independent clauses. The comma helps to separate the contrasting information about German cuisine and the Sunday dinner, maintaining a clear and coherent structure. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they either lack the necessary punctuation or use 'but' instead of 'and,' which disrupts the flow of the combined sentence and fails to convey the intended relationship between the two ideas.
Hampton was born and raised in Maywood of Chicago, Illinois in 1948. Which of the following is the correct punctuation for the sentence?
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. in Maywood, of Chicago, Illinois in 1948.
- C. in Maywood of Chicago, Illinois, in 1948.
- D. in Chicago, Illinois of Maywood in 1948.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C correctly punctuates the sentence by placing commas after 'Chicago' and 'Illinois' to separate the location details and inserting a comma before 'in 1948' to separate the location from the date. This creates a clear and grammatically correct sentence. Choices A, B, and D incorrectly place the commas, leading to confusion or incorrect grouping of the location and date information.
A hundred years ago, automobiles were rare, but now cars are ubiquitous. However, she doesn't know what the word ubiquitous means. Which key context clue is essential to decipher the word's meaning?
- A. Ago
- B. Cars
- C. Now
- D. Rare
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Rare.' In the sentence, it is mentioned that 'a hundred years ago, automobiles were rare,' which provides the context that the opposite of rare would mean something very common, thus helping to decipher the meaning of 'ubiquitous.'
Choice A, 'Ago,' refers to a time frame and doesn't directly provide a contrast to 'ubiquitous.'
Choice B, 'Cars,' is mentioned in both parts of the sentence and does not help in defining 'ubiquitous.'
Choice C, 'Now,' signifies the current time but doesn't contrast with 'ubiquitous' to aid in its understanding.
