1. What is the correct way to write "25th anniversary" as a word?

• A. Twenty-fiveth anniversary
• B. Twenty Fiveth Anniversary
• C. Twenty fifth anniversary
• D. twenty-fifth anniversary

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Ordinals (numbers with "th", "st", "nd", etc.) are generally written as words when used before nouns. Option (d) is correct.

2. Which of the following describes a visual tool that a writer uses to diagram ideas around a central concept?

• A. Bar graph
• B. Citation
• C. Revision
• D. Mind map

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A mind map is a visual tool commonly used by writers to diagram ideas around a central concept. It helps in brainstorming and organizing thoughts by visually representing the relationships between different ideas. Choice A, a bar graph, is a graphical representation of data typically used to compare quantities. Choice B, a citation, is a reference to a source used in writing to give credit. Choice C, revision, refers to the act of reviewing, editing, and improving written work.

3. Which of the following sentences correctly uses a hyphen?

• A. Last year, many of the players felt unsure of the coach's methods.
• B. Some of the furniture she selected seemed a bit over-the-top for the space.
• C. Henry is a beagle-mix and is ready for adoption this weekend.
• D. Geena works to maintain a good relationship with her ex-husband to the benefit of their children.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct usage of a hyphen is seen in sentence C, 'Henry is a beagle-mix and is ready for adoption this weekend.' The hyphen is used in 'beagle-mix' to link the two words together to describe Henry's breed accurately. Choice A contains a comma incorrectly placed after 'Last year.' Choice B uses hyphens as dashes, which is incorrect. Choice D does not require a hyphen as there is no compound term or adjective that needs to be linked.

4. Choose the most appropriate word to complete the sentence: 'He was _____ about his upcoming presentation.'

• A. apprehensive
• B. bored
• C. excited
• D. relieved

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'apprehensive.' In the context of an upcoming presentation, being apprehensive implies a sense of worry or nervousness. This aligns well with the situation where one might feel uneasy or concerned about their upcoming presentation. The word 'bored' (choice B) is incorrect as it does not convey the right emotion for this context. 'Excited' (choice C) and 'relieved' (choice D) do not match the expected sentiment of worry or nervousness associated with an upcoming presentation, making them incorrect choices.

5. Which of the following examples is a sentence fragment?

• A. Believe me.
• B. On the 5:30 train.
• C. You probably know Sally.
• D. That's right.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'On the 5:30 train.' This is a sentence fragment because it does not contain a subject and a verb. In this case, 'On the 5:30 train' is a prepositional phrase, not a complete sentence. Choices A, C, and D are complete sentences as they have both a subject and a verb, making them grammatically correct and not sentence fragments.
