1. Fred Hampton desired to see lasting social change for African American people through nonviolent means and community recognition. Which of the following is the best way to start this sentence?

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

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'As a result' correctly introduces the cause-and-effect relationship in the sentence. In this context, 'As a result' signifies that Fred Hampton's desire for lasting social change through nonviolent means and community recognition led to a specific outcome or consequence. The other choices, 'Unfortunately,' 'Finally,' and 'NO CHANGE,' do not fit the context as they do not convey the cause-and-effect relationship intended in the sentence.

2. The Black Panther Party (BPP) was another activist group that formed around the same time as and was similar in function to the NAACP. What revision best improves this sentence?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. was another activist group that
• C. had a lot of members that
• D. was another school that

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Describing the BPP as 'another activist group' provides clarity and relevance. Choice B correctly identifies the Black Panther Party as an activist group, aligning with its historical context and function. Choices C and D introduce irrelevant or inaccurate information, making them incorrect. Choice A, 'NO CHANGE,' leaves the sentence vague and does not provide the necessary clarification about the nature of the Black Panther Party.

3. Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: 'The girls on the team are excited to play in the championships.'

• A. is
• B. am
• C. are
• D. ares

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct verb to use in this sentence is 'are.' In English grammar, when the subject is plural like 'girls,' the correct form of the verb to use is 'are.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'is' is singular, 'am' is first-person singular, and 'ares' is not a valid verb form in English. Therefore, the correct answer is 'are' to match the plural subject 'girls.'

4. 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.'

5. What is the correct plural of chair?

• A. Chair
• B. Chairs
• C. Chaires
• D. Chairies

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct plural form of 'chair' is 'chairs,' following the regular pluralization rule by adding 's.' Choices C and D, 'Chaires' and 'Chairies,' are incorrect because they do not follow the standard English pluralization rule. Choice A, 'Chair,' is the singular form and not the plural form of the word.
