1. Cassidy's track and field experience was greater than any in her school's history. Cassidy was quite tall at 5'10". This made hurdling easier, which is where she got her start. It was easy to spot Cassidy with her long ponytail.

A. Cassidy's track and field experience was greater than any in her school's history.
B. Cassidy was quite tall at 5'10".
C. This made hurdling easier, which is where she got her start.
D. It was easy to spot Cassidy with her long ponytail.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The detail about Cassidy's ponytail is irrelevant to her track and field experience and can be removed. Choices A, B, and C provide relevant information about Cassidy's track and field experience and how her height contributed to her hurdling skills. However, choice D is the correct answer as it highlights an unrelated detail about her appearance, which does not impact her athletic abilities or achievements in track and field.

2. Identify the interrogative sentence in the following options:

A. The delicious pie disappeared quickly.
B. What is your favorite color?
C. Please open the window.
D. He ran as fast as he could.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: An interrogative sentence is a type of sentence that asks a question. In this case, choice B 'What is your favorite color?' is an interrogative sentence because it is asking a question and ends with a question mark. Choices A, C, and D are not interrogative sentences as they do not pose a question to elicit a response. Choice A is a declarative sentence, choice C is an imperative sentence, and choice D is also a declarative sentence.

3. Which of the following sentences shows correct word usage?

A. It's often been said that work is better than rest.
B. Its often been said that work is better than rest.
C. It’s often been said that work is better than rest.
D. Its often been said that work is better than rest.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'It’s' is the contraction for 'it is,' and 'than' is used correctly for comparisons (e.g., better than). Therefore, sentence C is correct because it uses 'It’s' (it is) and 'than' (for comparison) properly. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A lacks the necessary apostrophe in 'It's' (it is) and incorrectly uses 'then' instead of 'than.' Choice B incorrectly uses 'Its' (possessive form) instead of 'It’s.' Choice D lacks the necessary apostrophe in 'It's' (it is) and incorrectly uses 'then' instead of 'than.'

4. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

A. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
B. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
C. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
D. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June, 2011.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer. The sentence is punctuated correctly with commas separating the city, state, and the rest of the sentence. In Choice A, there should be a comma after 'California' to correctly separate the city and state. Choice B lacks a comma after 'California,' creating a run-on sentence. Choice D incorrectly uses a comma before the year '2011,' which disrupts the flow of the sentence.

5. Which of the following is an appropriately-punctuated correction for this sentence: Protestors filled the streets of the city because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership?

A. Protestors filled the streets of the city, because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership.
B. Protesters, filled the streets of the city, because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership.
C. Because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership protestors filled the streets of the city.
D. Protestors filled the streets of the city because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The sentence should be corrected by removing the period and joining the clauses to avoid a sentence fragment. Choice A is incorrect due to the unnecessary comma after 'city.' Choice B is incorrect as it mistakenly separates the subject and verb with a comma. Choice C is incorrect as it begins with the subordinate clause, disrupting the logical flow of the sentence.
