1. Which of the following words in the sentence is an adverb? We should go outside.

• A. We
• B. should
• C. go
• D. outside

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'outside' is the adverb in the sentence. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'outside' modifies the verb 'go' by indicating the location where the action is taking place. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'We' is a pronoun, 'should' is a modal verb, and 'go' is the main verb in the sentence, none of which function as adverbs.

2. Hampton was quickly attracted to the Black Panther Party’s approach to the fight for equal rights for African Americans. Which of the following options uses the possessive form correctly?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Black Panther Party's approach
• C. Black Panther Party's approach
• D. Black Panther Party's approach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'NO CHANGE,' is the correct answer. 'Party’s' is correctly used to show the possessive form, indicating the approach belongs to the Black Panther Party. Choices B, C, and D incorrectly use plural forms ('Parties' or 'Partys') or unnecessary apostrophes ('Partys’'), which do not accurately convey the possessive form needed in this context.

3. Today, astrophysicists study the same stars that were observed by the astronomers of the ancient world, though today’s techniques and technology are much more advanced. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence?

• A. astrophysicists
• B. astronomers
• C. techniques
• D. technology

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The misspelled word in the sentence is 'astronemers,' which should be spelled as 'astronomers.' 'Astrophysicists,' 'techniques,' and 'technology' are all correctly spelled words in the sentence. Ensuring proper spelling is essential for effective communication and clarity. The term 'astronomers' refers to individuals who study celestial bodies, including stars, making it the correct answer in this context.

4. What is the main verb tense in the following sentence? 'She had already left before I arrived.'

• A. Present tense
• B. Past tense
• C. Future tense
• D. Past perfect tense

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D, Past perfect tense.' In the sentence provided, the verb 'had left' is in the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is used to indicate an action that was completed before another past action, which in this case is 'arrived.' Therefore, the main verb tense in the sentence is past perfect. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the sentence does not contain present, past, or future tense verbs as the main verb. Instead, the main verb 'left' is in the past perfect tense, showing an action completed before another past event.

5. Which of the following versions of the sentence is written correctly?

• A. Because she wanted to reduce unnecessary waste, Cicily decided to have the television repaired instead of buying a new one.
• B. Cicily decided to have the television repaired because she wanted to reduce unnecessary waste instead of buying a new one.
• C. Cicily decided to have the television repaired because she wanted to reduce unnecessary waste, instead of buying a new one.
• D. Because Cicily decided to have the television repaired instead of buying a new one, she wanted to reduce unnecessary waste.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A is the correct version of the sentence. It is written in a clear and grammatically correct way. The conjunction 'because' is correctly placed to show the reason for Cicily's decision, and the structure of the sentence flows logically. Choices B, C, and D have issues with sentence structure, placement of conjunctions, or unnecessary commas, making them grammatically incorrect. Choice B places 'because' in an awkward position, disrupting the flow of the sentence. Choice C introduces a comma after 'wanted to reduce unnecessary waste' unnecessarily, causing a punctuation error. Choice D shifts the focus of the sentence by placing 'she wanted to reduce unnecessary waste' at the end, making the sentence less coherent and grammatically incorrect.
