1. Hampton was quickly attracted to the Black Panther Party’s approach to the fight for equal rights for African Americans. Which of the following options uses the possessive form correctly?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Black Panther Party's approach
• C. Black Panther Party's approach
• D. Black Panther Party's approach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'NO CHANGE,' is the correct answer. 'Party’s' is correctly used to show the possessive form, indicating the approach belongs to the Black Panther Party. Choices B, C, and D incorrectly use plural forms ('Parties' or 'Partys') or unnecessary apostrophes ('Partys’'), which do not accurately convey the possessive form needed in this context.

2. Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?

• A. Biology
• B. Philanthropy
• C. Anthropomorphism
• D. Anthropology

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anthropology.' This term is derived from the Greek words 'anthropos' meaning 'human' and 'logos' meaning 'study.' Therefore, Anthropology refers to the study of humans. Choice A, 'Biology,' is the study of living organisms, not specifically focused on humans. Choice B, 'Philanthropy,' refers to the practice of giving and helping others. Choice C, 'Anthropomorphism,' is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities.

3. Which of the following lists elements of the prewriting portion of the writing process?

• A. Researching, outlining, editing
• B. Preparation, referencing sources, drafting
• C. Planning, brainstorming, outlining
• D. Drafting, researching, referencing sources

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Planning, brainstorming, outlining. During the prewriting phase of the writing process, it is essential to plan your writing, brainstorm ideas, and create an outline before moving on to drafting. Researching, referencing sources, and editing are typically part of the later stages of the writing process, not prewriting. Choices A, B, and D include elements that are more aligned with drafting and revising stages rather than prewriting.

4. Which of the following is an example of a prepositional phrase?

• A. After the game
• B. Running fast
• C. She sings
• D. Can you help me?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'After the game.' A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object, describing a relationship in time, location, or direction. In this case, 'After' is the preposition, and 'the game' is its object, making it a prepositional phrase. Choices B, C, and D do not contain prepositional phrases. Choice B, 'Running fast,' is a gerund phrase with an adverb modifying a verb. Choice C, 'She sings,' is a subject-verb sentence construction. Choice D, 'Can you help me?' is an interrogative sentence asking for assistance.

5. Based on an examination of word parts, which of the following words means 'abnormality of movement'?

• A. Dyskinesia
• B. Hyperkinesia
• C. Akinesia
• D. Hypokinesia

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Dyskinesia.' By breaking down the word parts, 'dys-' means difficult or abnormal, and '-kinesia' refers to movement. Therefore, 'Dyskinesia' means an abnormality of movement. Choice B, 'Hyperkinesia,' is incorrect as 'hyper-' means excessive, not abnormal. Choice C, 'Akinesia,' is incorrect as 'a-' means without, not abnormal. Choice D, 'Hypokinesia,' is incorrect as 'hypo-' means deficient, not abnormal.
