1. His charismatic personality, organizational abilities, sheer determination, and rhetorical skills enabled him to quickly rise through the chapter’s ranks. Which of the following revisions maintains the correct tense?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. are enabling him to quickly rise
• C. enabled him to quickly rise
• D. will enable him to quickly rise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C, 'enabled him to quickly rise,' is the correct answer as it maintains the past tense to match the context of the sentence. The sentence describes actions that have already occurred, so the past tense 'enabled' is appropriate. Choice A is incorrect as it does not provide the correct tense for the sentence. Choice B is incorrect as it uses the present continuous tense, which is not suitable for the context of the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it uses the future tense, which does not align with the past actions described in the sentence.

2. Select the correct definition of the underlined word having multiple meanings in the sentence: 'Natalie’s fingers were calloused after practicing her bass.'

• A. Kind of fish
• B. Low and deep sound
• C. Lowest male singing voice
• D. A guitar with four strings that makes low sounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'bass' refers to a guitar with four strings that makes low sounds. The context of Natalie practicing suggests that it is referring to a musical instrument, specifically the bass guitar, rather than a fish, sound, or voice. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A, 'Kind of fish,' is incorrect as the sentence context does not relate to fish. Choice B, 'Low and deep sound,' is incorrect because the sentence refers to practicing an instrument, not just a sound. Choice C, 'Lowest male singing voice,' is also incorrect as the sentence context is not related to singing but to playing an instrument.

3. Which of the following is the complete subject of the following sentence? All of Shannon’s family and friends helped her to celebrate her 50th birthday at Café Sorrento.

• A. Family and friends
• B. All
• C. All of Shannon’s family and friends
• D. Shannon’s family and friends

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The complete subject in the sentence is 'All of Shannon’s family and friends.' This phrase encompasses the entirety of the group involved in celebrating Shannon’s 50th birthday at Café Sorrento. It includes both her family and friends collectively, highlighting the full extent of individuals who participated in the celebration. The term 'All of Shannon’s family and friends' is essential for providing a comprehensive subject that covers everyone who contributed to making the event special. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not capture the complete scope of individuals involved in the birthday celebration, unlike choice C which encompasses both Shannon’s family and friends.

4. In the given scenario, what type of language should the student use when requesting an appointment with the instructor to discuss the research paper?

• A. Text message starting with 'Hey professor!'
• B. Email message starting with 'It's me, the one who's way behind.'
• C. Email message starting with 'Dear Professor:'
• D. Email after forgetting about the appointment starting with 'Hey professor, I can't believe I missed the appointment.'

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Email message starting with 'Dear Professor:'. In academic settings, it is essential to use formal and respectful language when addressing instructors. Starting the email with 'Dear Professor:' demonstrates professionalism and respect. Choice A is too informal for a professional setting. Choice B is vague and lacks the necessary level of formality. Choice D showcases unprofessional behavior by not acknowledging missing the appointment until later.

5. Which of the following words is spelled correctly?

• A. Miniscool
• B. Miniature

Choice C, 'Maintenance,' is a commonly misspelled word, but in this case, it is spelled correctly. However, the correct spelling requested in the question is 'Millennium.'
