1. Which of the following examples is a complete sentence?

• A. Let me know.
• B. On the subject of philosophy.
• C. Depending on the type of books you like.
• D. Where there are lots of people.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Let me know.' This is a complete sentence as it contains a subject ('me') and a verb ('know'). Choice B, 'On the subject of philosophy,' is a prepositional phrase and does not form a complete sentence as it lacks a subject and verb. Choice C, 'Depending on the type of books you like,' is a dependent clause and does not stand alone as a complete sentence. Choice D, 'Where there are lots of people,' is a dependent clause as it begins with a subordinating conjunction ('where') and does not function as a complete sentence on its own.

2. Which of the following substitutions best captures the meaning of the underlined words in the sentence below? "She was perturbed by the loud noise coming from the construction site."

• A. bothered by
• B. excited about
• C. occupied exclusively with
• D. confused by

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'perturbed' in the sentence conveys a sense of being troubled, disturbed, or bothered by something. Therefore, the most suitable substitution is 'bothered by.' Option A correctly captures the feeling of being unsettled due to the loud noise. Choice B, 'excited about,' does not align with the negative connotation of 'perturbed.' Choice C, 'occupied exclusively with,' introduces a different concept unrelated to feeling troubled by the noise. Choice D, 'confused by,' does not accurately reflect the feeling of being troubled or bothered by the situation described in the sentence. Thus, 'bothered by' is the most appropriate substitution in this context.

3. Which of the following sentences follows the rules of capitalization?

• A. As juveniles, African white-backed vultures are darkly colored, developing their white feathers only as they grow into adulthood.
• B. Ukrainians celebrate a holiday called Malanka during which men dress in costumes and masks and play tricks on their neighbors.
• C. Because of its distance from the sun, the planet Neptune has seasons that last the equivalent of forty-one Earth years.
• D. Edward Jenner, considered the Father of Immunology, invented the world’s first vaccine.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In sentence B, "Ukrainians" is capitalized because it is referring to a specific group of people, and "Malanka" is also capitalized as it is a holiday name. This follows the rules of capitalization for proper nouns. Choices A, C, and D contain correct capitalization, but they also include additional capitalizations that are unnecessary. For instance, in choice A, "African white-backed vultures" should not be capitalized unless it is part of a proper noun or a title. In choice C, while "Neptune" and "Earth" should be capitalized as they are names of celestial bodies, the word "sun" is not capitalized unless it is used as part of the proper noun "Sun." Choice D correctly capitalizes proper nouns like "Edward Jenner" and "Immunology," but the general terms like "Father" and "vaccine" do not need capitalization unless they are part of a title or a specific name.

4. Which of the following statements correctly describes the prewriting stage of the writing process?

• A. The works cited page of a paper is finalized during the prewriting stage.
• B. The first draft of a paper is written during the prewriting stage.
• C. Mind mapping and free writing occur during the prewriting stage.
• D. Copy editing and proofreading happen during the prewriting stage.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because during the prewriting stage, writers engage in activities like mind mapping and free writing to brainstorm ideas and organize their thoughts before starting the actual writing process. Choice A is incorrect because finalizing the works cited page is typically done during the later stages of writing. Choice B is incorrect as the first draft is usually created during the drafting stage, not prewriting. Choice D is incorrect since copy editing and proofreading are tasks carried out in the revising and editing stages, not during prewriting.

5. 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.'
