1. 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.'

2. Based on his work and goals, how should the sentence 'Fred Hampton desired to see lasting social change for African Americans through nonviolent means and community recognition.' be best introduced?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Unfortunately,
• C. Finally,
• D. As a result,

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: As a result.' This choice effectively ties Hampton's desire for social change to his ongoing efforts and achievements. 'As a result' indicates a logical connection between Hampton's aspirations and the actions he took to achieve them. Choices B, C, and A are incorrect because they do not provide a suitable transition that connects Hampton's goals with his actions or achievements. 'Unfortunately' (choice B) introduces a negative connotation that is not appropriate in this context. 'Finally' (choice C) suggests a chronological sequence rather than a cause-and-effect relationship. 'NO CHANGE' (choice A) does not establish a clear link between Hampton's desires and his efforts for social change.

3. Choose the sentence with correct punctuation and formatting:

• A. Throughout the song, he says “Remember the better days” and he gives examples.
• B. Throughout the song, he says, “Remember the better days,” and he gives examples.
• C. Throughout the song, he says Remember the better days, and he gives examples.
• D. Throughout the song, he says Remember the better days and he gives examples.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses proper punctuation and formatting with the quotation marks around the phrase 'Remember the better days' and a comma after it to indicate the continuation of the sentence. This follows standard grammar rules for punctuating quotes within a sentence. Choice A lacks a comma after the quoted phrase, which is needed before the conjunction 'and.' Choices C and D have missing or misplaced commas and lack proper quotation marks around the quoted phrase, making them incorrect in terms of punctuation and formatting.

4. What kind of error does the following sentence contain? Some workers use all their sick leave, other workers cash out their leave.

• A. Parallelism
• B. Comma splice
• C. Sentence fragment
• D. Subject-verb agreement

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Comma splice. A comma splice is present in the sentence, where two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma. In this case, 'Some workers use all their sick leave' and 'other workers cash out their leave' are two independent clauses that should be separated by a conjunction or a stronger punctuation mark like a semicolon or period. Choice A, parallelism, is incorrect because the error in the sentence is not related to maintaining parallel structure. Choice C, sentence fragment, is incorrect as the sentence contains two independent clauses, not fragments. Choice D, subject-verb agreement, is also incorrect as the error in the sentence does not involve agreement between subjects and verbs.

5. Everyday items like potatoes, bread, onions, and even saliva are the tools of art conservators, who work to clean and restore works of art. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence above?

• A. potatoes
• B. saliva
• C. conservators
• D. restore

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct spelling is 'potatoes,' with the correct plural form being used in this context. The other choices are spelled correctly: 'saliva,' 'conservators,' and 'restore.' 'Saliva' refers to a bodily fluid, 'conservators' are professionals who work on art conservation, and 'restore' means to bring something back to its original condition or state.
