1. What is the point of view indicated by the underlined words in the sentence below?"You should know that I am planning to attend the meeting tomorrow."

• A. third; second
• B. second; first
• C. first; second
• D. first; third

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The point of view indicated by the underlined words in the sentence demonstrates a transition from second-person ("you") to first-person ("I"). The correct answer is B because the speaker shifts from addressing someone else (second-person) to talking about themselves (first-person). Choice A is incorrect because third-person is not present in the sentence. Choice C is incorrect because the order of point of view shift is reversed. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly identifies the sequence of point of view change.

2. Which of the following prefixes means 'above'?

• A. Dys-
• B. Supra-
• C. Intra-
• D. Sub-

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Supra-' as it means 'above.' 'Dys-' denotes 'bad' or 'difficult,' 'Intra-' means 'within,' and 'Sub-' indicates 'below' or 'under.' Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect in the context of the question.

3. Identify the determiner in the following sentence:

• A. happily
• B. branches
• C. few
• D. tree

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The determiner in the sentence is 'few.' Determiners specify the quantity or identity of a noun. In this case, 'few' indicates the number of birds present. Choice A, 'happily,' is an adverb modifying a verb or an adjective, not a determiner. Choice B, 'branches,' is a noun referring to parts of a tree, not a determiner. Choice D, 'tree,' is a noun identifying the main subject of the sentence, not a determiner.

4. Identify the compound-complex sentence in the following options:

• A. The baker decorated the cake, and then he presented it proudly.
• B. Although it was raining, the children played outside.
• C. When the sun rises, the birds begin to sing.
• D. He enjoyed reading the book because it was suspenseful.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A compound-complex sentence consists of at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In option D, 'He enjoyed reading the book' is an independent clause, while 'because it was suspenseful' is a dependent clause, making it a compound-complex sentence. Choices A, B, and C do not meet the criteria for a compound-complex sentence as they either lack the required combination of independent and dependent clauses or do not contain multiple independent clauses.

5. Which transitional word would be the best option to represent the logical link between these two sentences? I often have heard arguments claiming that complete freedom of speech could lead to dangerous situations. Without complete freedom of speech, can it truly be said that we live in a free society?

• A. However
• B. Therefore
• C. So
• D. Supposedly

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'However.' In this context, the transitional word 'However' is used to introduce a contrast between the two sentences. The first sentence presents an argument about the potential dangers of complete freedom of speech, while the second questions the notion of living in a free society without such freedom. 'However' establishes a logical link by indicating a shift or contradiction in ideas. Choice B, 'Therefore,' would imply a cause-and-effect relationship, which is not supported by the content of the sentences. Choice C, 'So,' would indicate a conclusion or result, which does not fit the context. Choice D, 'Supposedly,' is not a suitable transitional word in this context as it does not connect the contrasting ideas presented in the sentences.
