1. Which of the following choices best combines the following sentences? The French and Indian War was not an isolated war in North America. It was part of a larger war that Europe was fighting. Europeans called it the Seven Years’ War.

• A. The French and Indian War did not occur in North America but was rather a small part of the larger European war known as the Seven Years’ War.
• B. What Europeans called the Seven Years’ War was called the French and Indian War in North America. It was part of a larger war that Europe was fighting.
• C. The French and Indian War was not an isolated war in North America but was rather part of a larger war that Europe was fighting, known among Europeans as the Seven Years’ War.
• D. While North America was fighting the French and Indian War, the Europeans were fighting a much larger war known as the Seven Years’ War.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C best combines the sentences by correctly stating that the French and Indian War was not an isolated conflict in North America but rather part of a larger war that Europe was engaged in, known as the Seven Years’ War. This option maintains the chronological order of events and provides a clear and concise explanation. Choices A, B, and D either incorrectly convey the relationship between the wars, introduce unnecessary information, or deviate from the original context of the sentences, making them less suitable for combining the information effectively.

2. Hampton was quickly attracted to the Black Panther Party’s approach to the fight for equal rights for African Americans. Which of the following options uses the possessive form correctly?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Black Panther Party's approach
• C. Black Panther Party's approach
• D. Black Panther Party's approach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'NO CHANGE,' is the correct answer. 'Party’s' is correctly used to show the possessive form, indicating the approach belongs to the Black Panther Party. Choices B, C, and D incorrectly use plural forms ('Parties' or 'Partys') or unnecessary apostrophes ('Partys’'), which do not accurately convey the possessive form needed in this context.

3. Which of the following defines the word 'unilateral'?

• A. Performed by one person
• B. Performed by many people
• C. Performed with precision
• D. Performed according to rules

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Performed by one person.' 'Unilateral' means something done by one person or group without the agreement of another. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests the opposite of what 'unilateral' means. Choice C is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'unilateral.' Choice D is incorrect as it is not directly related to the definition of 'unilateral.'

4. Which term describes the most likely structure of an essay about the similarities and differences between World War I and World War II?

• A. Technical
• B. Expository
• C. Cause/effect
• D. Compare/contrast

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Compare/contrast.' This structure is specifically designed to analyze and highlight the similarities and differences between two subjects, making it the most appropriate choice for an essay discussing the similarities and differences between World War I and World War II. Choice A, 'Technical,' typically involves detailed, specialized information rather than comparison. Choice B, 'Expository,' focuses on explaining or describing a topic without necessarily comparing or contrasting different subjects. Choice C, 'Cause/effect,' is used to examine the causes and consequences of events, which is different from directly comparing and contrasting two historical events like World War I and World War II.

5. Which sentence uses the passive voice correctly?

• A. The letter was written by Mary.
• B. John built the house.
• C. She gave the flowers to him.
• D. They were eating dinner.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A correctly uses the passive voice by placing the emphasis on the object (letter) that received the action (was written) rather than the subject performing the action. The phrase 'by Mary' indicates the agent who performed the action, making it a clear example of the passive voice structure. Choices B, C, and D are all in the active voice, where the subject performs the action directly on the object. In the context of identifying the correct usage of the passive voice, option A stands out as the only suitable example.
