1. Select a verb that correctly completes the following sentence: ____________ not worry about it.

• A. Is
• B. Do
• C. You
• D. Was

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Do.' In the given sentence, the imperative form is used to give a command or instruction. The imperative form of the verb 'to do' is 'do,' which is commonly used in negative commands like 'Do not worry about it.' Choices 'A: Is,' 'C: You,' and 'D: Was' do not fit grammatically or contextually in completing the sentence as they are not imperative verbs.

2. Julia is writing an essay about the influence of technology on interpersonal relationships. Which of the following sentences would NOT be a relevant supporting detail?

• A. Studies show that the more teenagers engage in social media, the less they engage with their peers.
• B. College students study and work on homework an average of 4-6 hours a day.
• C. Use of technology such as smartphones can lead to a lack of engagement in conversations.
• D. Some psychologists think that watching TV activates the same part of the brain as having an in-depth conversation.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In an essay focusing on the impact of technology on interpersonal relationships, details about college students' study habits and homework workload are not directly related to the influence of technology on relationships. Choices A, C, and D are more relevant as they directly address the impact of technology, such as social media engagement, smartphone usage affecting conversations, and the comparison between TV-watching and brain activity during conversations.

3. What is the most effective way to combine the following sentences? 1. The colonists refused to buy stamps. 2. They were determined to get the Stamp Act repealed.

• A. The colonists refused to buy stamps and they were determined to get the Stamp Act repealed.
• B. The colonists refused to buy stamps, and they were determined to get the Stamp Act repealed.
• C. The colonists refused to buy stamps, and were determined to get the Stamp Act repealed.
• D. The colonists refused to buy stamps, were determined to get the Stamp Act repealed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The conjunction 'and' is used to connect the two independent clauses in the most effective and grammatically correct way. This choice maintains the clarity of the sentence and the relationship between the two ideas. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the necessary conjunction to properly connect the two independent clauses. Choice C is incorrect as it misses the subject 'they' before 'were determined.' Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the necessary coordinating conjunction 'and' before 'were determined,' resulting in a run-on sentence.

4. Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?

• A. having one color
• B. having many parts
• C. having a lot of time
• D. having too much heat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'monochromatic' refers to something that has only one color. Choice A, 'having one color,' is the correct description for monochromatic. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'monochromatic' does not mean 'having many parts,' 'having a lot of time,' or 'having too much heat.' Monochromatic specifically conveys the idea of consisting of or using only one color, making Choice A the correct answer.

5. Robert needed to find at least four sources for his final project, so he searched several library databases for reliable academic research. Which words function as nouns in the preceding sentence?

• A. Robert, sources, project, databases, research
• B. Robert, sources, final, project, databases, academic, research
• C. Robert, sources, project, he, library, databases, research
• D. Sources, project, databases, research

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence provided, the words that function as nouns are 'Robert,' 'sources,' 'project,' 'databases,' and 'research.' These words are all objects or concepts that can be referenced or identified in a sentence as nouns. Choice B includes adjectives ('final,' 'academic') which describe other nouns rather than being nouns themselves. Choice C includes a pronoun ('he') which is not a noun. Choice D lacks the noun 'Robert' which is a subject in the sentence.
