1. When writing a letter to the school board of a public school, which of the following greetings would be most appropriate?

• A. Dearest School Board,
• B. To Whom It May Concern,
• C. Dear Sir and/or Ma’am,
• D. Hello all,

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When addressing a formal letter to the school board, 'Dear Sir and/or Ma’am' is the most appropriate greeting as it shows respect and professionalism. Choice A, 'Dearest School Board,' is too informal and overly personal for a professional communication. Choice B, 'To Whom It May Concern,' is more suitable for general inquiries when the recipient is unknown, not for addressing a specific group like a school board. Choice D, 'Hello all,' is too casual and lacks the formality required when addressing a school board.

2. Which of the following is the correct tense used in the bold part in this sentence? My grandpa WILL BE WRITING a memoir...

• A. Future progressive
• B. Past perfect
• C. Future simple
• D. Present perfective

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Future progressive. 'Will be writing' indicates an ongoing action that will occur in the future, which is the future progressive tense. Choice B, Past perfect, is incorrect as it refers to an action completed before a specified time in the past. Choice C, Future simple, is incorrect as it refers to a simple future action without indicating ongoing progress. Choice D, Present perfective, is incorrect as it does not match the tense used in the sentence.

3. Which of the following words is spelled correctly?

• A. Miniscool
• B. Miniature
• C. Maintenance
• D. Millennium

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Millennium.' 'Millennium' is spelled correctly, referring to a period of 1000 years. Choice A, 'Miniscool,' and Choice B, 'Miniature,' are misspelled. Choice C, 'Maintenance,' is a commonly misspelled word, but in this case, it is spelled correctly. However, the correct spelling requested in the question is 'Millennium.'

4. Which verb tense is most appropriate to complete this sentence: 'By next week, I _____ the project'?

• A. I will be finishing
• B. I will have finished
• C. I am finishing
• D. I would finish

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is option B, 'I will have finished'. This choice correctly expresses a future event (finishing the project) that will be completed before another future point in time (next week). The future perfect tense 'will have finished' is used to show an action that will be completed before a specified future time. Choice A, 'I will be finishing', is incorrect as it indicates an ongoing action that will still be in progress by next week, which is not the intended meaning. Choice C, 'I am finishing', is incorrect as it indicates a present action that is ongoing, not a future event. Choice D, 'I would finish', is incorrect as 'would' is used for hypothetical situations or polite requests, which is not suitable in this context of a future project completion.

5. Which of the following statements most effectively revises this introduction about Mary Shelley: Mary Shelley conceived of Dr. Frankenstein and the hideous monster he created, which helped the English novelist to make an immeasurable impact on literature and popular culture?

• A. English novelist Mary Shelley had an immeasurable impact on literature and popular culture when she conceived of Dr. Frankenstein and the hideous monster he created.
• B. Dr. Frankenstein created a hideous monster, and they were conceived by English novelist Mary Shelley, who had an immeasurable impact on literature and popular culture.
• C. English novelist Mary Shelley conceived of Dr. Frankenstein and the hideous monster he created and had an immeasurable impact on literature and popular culture.
• D. Novelist Mary Shelley from England had an immeasurable impact on literature and popular culture when she conceived of Dr. Frankenstein and the hideous monster he created.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A most effectively revises the introduction by clearly stating that English novelist Mary Shelley had an immeasurable impact on literature and popular culture through her conception of Dr. Frankenstein and the hideous monster he created. It maintains the original idea while improving clarity and coherence. Option B introduces confusion by implying that Dr. Frankenstein created the hideous monster when it was actually Mary Shelley who conceived both characters. Option C lacks the necessary conjunctions to make the sentence flow smoothly. Option D unnecessarily specifies the country of origin for Mary Shelley and does not maintain the focus on her impact on literature and popular culture.
