1. Philadelphia is home to some excellent walking tours where visitors can learn more about the culture and rich history of the city of brotherly love. What are the adjectives in the preceding sentence?

• A. Philadelphia, tours, visitors, culture, history, city, love
• B. Excellent, walking, rich, brotherly
• C. Is, can, learn
• D. To, about, of

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The adjectives in the sentence are 'excellent,' 'walking,' 'rich,' and 'brotherly.' Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns, and in this case, these words provide additional information about the walking tours and the history of Philadelphia. Choices A, C, and D do not contain adjectives. Choice A consists of nouns, Choice C includes verbs, and Choice D contains prepositions, none of which are adjectives as they do not describe or modify nouns.

2. In the words proactive, progress, and projecting, pro- is a(n) _______ and means _______.

• A. suffix; good/on top of/over
• B. prefix; before/forward/front
• C. affix; after/behind/in back of
• D. prefix; against/under/below

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the words proactive, progress, and projecting, 'pro-' is a prefix. A prefix is a morpheme added at the beginning of a word to modify its meaning. In this case, 'pro-' means before, forward, or front, indicating a sense of being proactive, making progress, or projecting ahead. Choice A is incorrect as 'pro-' is not a suffix. Choice C is incorrect as 'pro-' is not an affix that goes at the end or in the middle of a word. Choice D is incorrect as 'pro-' does not mean against, under, or below in the given context.

3. Which of the following suffixes has an action that means 'relating to'?

• A. -ic
• B. -ology
• C. -ation
• D. -ate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is '-ic.' The suffix '-ic' means 'relating to,' as seen in words like 'artistic' (relating to art). - 'B' is incorrect as the suffix '-ology' refers to the study of a subject, not 'relating to.' - 'C' is incorrect as the suffix '-ation' is used to form nouns expressing an action or process, not 'relating to.' - 'D' is incorrect as the suffix '-ate' is used to form verbs or nouns denoting an office, function, or rank, not 'relating to.'

4. When it gets warm in the spring, _______ and _______ like to go fishing at Cobbs Creek. Which of the following word pairs should be used in the blanks above?

• A. me, him
• B. he, I
• C. him, I
• D. he, me

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct word pair to use in this context is 'him, I.' This is because 'him' and 'I' are the correct pronouns to refer to two individuals in the third person (him) and first person (I). The sentence should indicate that when it gets warm in the spring, 'him' and 'I' like to go fishing at Cobbs Creek. Choice A, 'me, him,' is incorrect as 'me' should be replaced with 'I' to maintain proper subject-object agreement. Choice B, 'he, I,' is incorrect as 'he' should be replaced with 'him' to properly refer to the other person involved. Choice D, 'he, me,' is incorrect as 'me' should be replaced with 'I' to maintain the correct pronoun usage.

5. Hampton was born and raised in Maywood of Chicago, Illinois in 1948. Which of the following is the correct punctuation for the sentence?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. in Maywood, of Chicago, Illinois in 1948.
• C. in Maywood of Chicago, Illinois, in 1948.
• D. in Chicago, Illinois of Maywood in 1948.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C correctly punctuates the sentence by placing commas after 'Chicago' and 'Illinois' to separate the location details and inserting a comma before 'in 1948' to separate the location from the date. This creates a clear and grammatically correct sentence. Choices A, B, and D incorrectly place the commas, leading to confusion or incorrect grouping of the location and date information.
