• D. However, online students often work entirely from home, which is just one part of what makes online learning different.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'However, online students often work entirely from home, which is just one part of what makes online learning different.' provides a contrast and smoothly transitions to a discussion of what makes online learning distinct from traditional classroom settings.

Choice C focuses on interactions with professors but does not transition to a new idea.

• D. It helped me.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence about the ball of wool being a sustainable resource introduces a new idea that doesn't align with the other ideas in the paragraph, which focus on relaxation and health benefits. Choices A, B, and D all relate to the positive aspects and personal experience with knitting, which are in line with the paragraph's context. Choice A expands on the benefits of knitting, choice B highlights the relaxing nature of the activity, and choice D indicates a personal benefit obtained from knitting.

4. Which of the following sentences uses a comma correctly?

• A. Let's eat Grandma!
• B. Let's eat, Grandma!
• C. Lets eat, Grandma!
• D. Lets, eat Grandma!

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Let's eat, Grandma!' The comma is correctly used to separate the direct address 'Grandma' from the rest of the sentence. In choice A, there should be a comma after 'eat' to separate the direct address. Choice C is missing an apostrophe in 'Lets,' and there should be a comma after 'eat' to separate the direct address. Choice D incorrectly places a comma after 'Lets,' and there should be a comma after 'eat' to separate the direct address.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mention of the Thames, fish and chips, and queue strongly indicates a British setting.

Therefore, based on these cultural clues, London, England, is the most likely setting of the scenario. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the specific cultural references mentioned in the scenario.
