1. Which version of the sentence is correct grammatically?

• A. I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.
• B. I had saw her before, but yesterday was the first time I seen her indoors.
• C. I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I seen her indoors.
• D. I had saw her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct sentence is: 'I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.' In this sentence, the correct past participle form of 'see' is used, which is 'seen' in the past perfect tense ('I had seen') and 'saw' in the simple past tense ('I saw'). Choices B, C, and D contain incorrect past participle and past tense forms of the verb 'see,' making them grammatically incorrect. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct past participle 'seen' and the correct simple past tense 'saw.' Therefore, it is the grammatically correct version of the sentence.

2. How can you effectively adapt your writing style to different audiences?

• A. Use the same formal tone regardless of the audience.
• B. Consider the audience's age, background, and level of knowledge.
• C. Rely on jargon and technical terms to sound professional.
• D. Focus on your own voice and writing preferences.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To effectively adapt your writing style to different audiences, it is essential to consider factors such as the audience's age, background, and level of knowledge. Adapting vocabulary, tone, and level of detail to match the audience's needs enhances communication and ensures better understanding. Choice A is incorrect because using the same formal tone for all audiences may not be suitable or engaging for different groups. Choice C is incorrect as relying solely on jargon and technical terms may alienate those who are not familiar with such language. Choice D is incorrect because focusing solely on your own voice and writing preferences may not effectively communicate your message to diverse audiences who may have different preferences and needs.

3. Which sentence correctly uses the colon?

• A. She had one wish: to visit Paris.
• B. She had: one wish to visit Paris.
• C. She had one: wish to visit Paris.
• D. She had one wish: visit Paris.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "She had one wish: to visit Paris." A colon is used after a complete sentence to introduce a list, quotation, or explanation. In choice A, the colon is appropriately used after the complete sentence 'She had one wish' to introduce the explanation 'to visit Paris.' Choices B, C, and D incorrectly place the colon in positions that do not follow a complete sentence or do not properly introduce an explanation, making them grammatically incorrect.

4. In the sentence 'The cherry tomatoes in our backyard are finally ready to be picked,' which of the following is the complete subject?

• A. tomatoes
• B. ready to be picked
• C. The cherry tomatoes in our backyard
• D. finally ready

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The complete subject in a sentence refers to the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this case, the complete subject is 'The cherry tomatoes in our backyard.' It includes all the words that describe the subject and provide more specific information about it. 'Tomatoes' (Choice A) is just a part of the complete subject and not the entire subject. 'Ready to be picked' (Choice B) is a verb phrase, not the subject of the sentence. 'Finally ready' (Choice D) is an adjective phrase, not the subject of the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is 'The cherry tomatoes in our backyard.'

5. Which of the following facts would be the most relevant to include here?

• A. NO CHANGE; best as written
• B. was another activist group that
• C. had a lot of members that
• D. was another school that

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Option B provides relevant context by specifying that the BPP was another activist group. This clarification helps to establish a parallel between the BPP and the NAACP in terms of their function and purpose. Choice C is incorrect as the number of members is not the key point being compared in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces an unrelated comparison involving schools, which is not relevant to the context provided in the sentence.
