1. Identify the relative clause in the sentence 'The book that won the award was a bestseller.'

• A. 'The book'
• B. 'that won the award'
• C. 'was a bestseller'
• D. 'award'

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: 'that won the award.' A relative clause provides additional information about a noun in the sentence. In this case, 'that won the award' is the relative clause specifying which book out of all books is being referred to. It is essential to recognize and understand relative clauses for better comprehension of sentence structures. Choice A ('The book') is the main noun phrase and not a relative clause. Choice C ('was a bestseller') is the main clause of the sentence, not a relative clause. Choice D ('award') is a noun but not a relative clause as it does not provide additional information about a noun in the sentence.

2. 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.

3. The patient was experiencing intraocular pressure. Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of 'intraocular' as used in the sentence above?

• A. Within the eyes
• B. Between the eyes
• C. Above the eyes
• D. Below the eyes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'intraocular' is derived from 'intra-' meaning within and 'ocular' referring to the eyes. Therefore, 'intraocular' means within the eyes. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'intraocular' based on the analysis of word parts.

4. Which of the following is the most likely setting of the scenario below? Walking along the Thames, Julianna saw a sign advertising a fish and chips shop. Since she felt a bit peckish, she made her way over to the queue.

• A. Chicago, United States
• B. Vienna, Austria
• C. Tokyo, Japan
• D. London, England

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mention of the Thames, fish and chips, and queue strongly indicates a British setting. Fish and chips are a traditional British dish, and the Thames is a famous river in London, England. Additionally, forming a queue is a common practice in England. Therefore, based on these cultural clues, London, England, is the most likely setting of the scenario. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the specific cultural references mentioned in the scenario.

5. It was not a compact city but was instead divided into separate districts. What is the meaning of the homograph 'compact' in the sentence above?

• A. A small case for holding makeup
• B. To compress
• C. Closely packed together
• D. Very tidy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, the term 'compact' refers to things being 'closely packed together.' The city was not compact in the sense of being closely packed together, but rather divided into separate districts. Choice A, 'A small case for holding makeup,' is not relevant to the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'To compress,' does not fit the sentence's context as it refers to the action of pressing things together. Choice D, 'Very tidy,' is also unrelated to the meaning of 'compact' in the sentence.
