1. Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct structure is 'whom to hold responsible' as 'whom' is the object of the verb 'to hold.' In choice A, 'who' should be 'whom' to indicate the object of the verb. Choice B is incorrect as 'whom' is incorrectly placed before 'was responsible.' Choice D is also incorrect due to the awkward phrasing and the use of 'on' which is unnecessary.

2. In which of the following sentences does the word 'part' function as an adjective?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In sentence D, the word 'part' functions as an adjective to modify the noun 'Irish.' It describes the Irish heritage of Ronaldo. The other choices use 'part' as a noun. In sentence A, 'part' is a noun referring to a role in a play. In sentence B, 'parts' is a verb indicating separating or dividing. In sentence C, 'part' is a noun referring to a contribution or role in the success of a project.

3. Which of the following sentences demonstrates the correct use of an apostrophe?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The apostrophe is correctly placed in this sentence to show possession by multiple jurors.

4. Which of the following examples is a simple sentence?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is sentence C because it is a simple sentence containing only one independent clause. It expresses a complete thought with a subject 'The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie' and a predicate 'looked somewhat out of place at the party.' Choices A, B, and D are not simple sentences. Choice A is a dependent clause as it does not express a complete thought on its own. Choice B is a prepositional phrase and does not form a complete sentence. Choice D is a complex sentence with a dependent clause ('because of his checked tie') along with the independent clause.

5. Which of the following describes a visual tool that a writer uses to diagram ideas around a central concept?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A mind map is a visual tool commonly used by writers to diagram ideas around a central concept. It helps in brainstorming and organizing thoughts by visually representing the relationships between different ideas. Choice A, a bar graph, is a graphical representation of data typically used to compare quantities. Choice B, a citation, is a reference to a source used in writing to give credit. Choice C, revision, refers to the act of reviewing, editing, and improving written work.
