1. By examining the parts of each word, determine which of the following words refers to 'a drug that removes feeling or sensation.'

• A. Hyperalgesia
• B. Subcranial
• C. Hypoglycemic
• D. Anaesthetic

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anaesthetic'. 'Anaesthetic' refers to a drug that removes feeling or sensation. The prefix 'ana-' means without, and the root 'esthetic' relates to sensation or feeling. 'Hyperalgesia' refers to increased sensitivity to pain, 'Subcranial' does not relate to drugs or removing sensation, and 'Hypoglycemic' refers to low blood sugar levels, not a drug that removes feeling or sensation.

2. Which of the following points of view is indicated by the word 'she' in the sentence: 'She went to the store after school'?

• A. first-person singular
• B. third-person plural
• C. second-person plural
• D. third-person singular

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'third-person singular.' In the sentence 'She went to the store after school,' the word 'she' is a third-person pronoun, indicating that the narrator is talking about someone else (not themselves) in singular form. First-person singular involves the narrator talking about themselves, second-person plural would involve addressing a group of people, and third-person plural would refer to multiple individuals, which are not the case in this sentence.

3. Which version of the sentence does NOT contain any misspelled words?

• A. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• B. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• C. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• D. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct version of the sentence is option D: 'The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.' This option is correct as it does not contain any misspelled words. 'Inquisition' is spelled correctly in this option, while the other options have misspelled variations of the word. Option A, B, and C all contain misspelled versions of 'inquisition,' making them incorrect choices.

4. Julia Robinson, an avid photographer in her spare time, was able to capture stunning shots of the local wildlife on her last business trip to Australia. Which of the following is an adjective in the preceding sentence?

• A. Time
• B. Capture
• C. Avid
• D. Photographer

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Avid.' In the sentence, 'avid' describes Julia Robinson as someone who is enthusiastic and passionate about photography in her spare time. Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns, and in this case, 'avid' modifies the noun 'photographer.' Choice A, 'Time,' is a noun and does not describe or modify any other word in the sentence. Choice B, 'Capture,' is a verb indicating an action taken by Julia Robinson. Choice D, 'Photographer,' is a noun identifying the role or occupation of Julia Robinson, not describing her in this context.

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

• A. Simple sentence
• B. Compound sentence
• C. Complex sentence
• D. Compound-complex sentence

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.
