1. Which of the following words is written in the correct plural form?

• A. oxen
• B. styles
• C. monarchies
• D. clutches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: styles.' 'Styles' is the correct plural form of 'style.' 'Oxes' in choice A is incorrect; the plural of 'ox' is 'oxen.' 'Monarchys' in choice C is incorrect; the correct plural form of 'monarchy' is 'monarchies.' 'Clutchs' in choice D is incorrect; the correct plural form of 'clutch' is 'clutches.' Therefore, 'styles' is the only word written in the correct plural form among the choices provided.

2. Which word correctly completes this sentence: 'He has ____ many tasks to complete.'

• A. to
• B. two
• C. too
• D. tow

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'too.' In this context, 'too' means 'excessively' or 'also,' indicating that the person has an excessive number of tasks to complete. Choice A, 'to,' is a preposition and does not fit the sentence structure. Choice B, 'two,' is a number and does not convey the intended meaning of having an excessive amount of tasks. Choice D, 'tow,' is a verb related to pulling something behind, which is completely unrelated to the sentence's context.

3. The old clock hadn't worked in years, and _____ Ally finally decided to take it off the wall. Which of the following transition words or phrases is most appropriate to complete the sentence?

• A. as a result
• B. conversely
• C. then again
• D. similarly

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'as a result.' This transition word is most suitable in this context as it indicates a logical consequence. The old clock not working for years led to Ally deciding to take it off the wall. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Conversely' suggests a contrast, 'then again' implies reconsideration or a contrasting point, and 'similarly' indicates a comparison, none of which align with the cause-and-effect relationship presented in the sentence.

4. Identify the clause that acts as an adverbial modifier in the sentence: 'While the movie was playing, I snuck out to get popcorn.'

• A. While the movie was playing
• B. I snuck out
• C. to get popcorn
• D. the movie was playing

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The clause 'While the movie was playing' acts as an adverbial modifier because it describes the time when the action of 'I snuck out' occurred, making it an adverbial clause. Choice A is correct as it is a subordinate clause that functions as an adverb to provide information about the time of the main action. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not serve as adverbial modifiers in the context of the sentence.

5. Identify the type of clause in the sentence: 'I ate, and he drank.'

• A. Coordinate clause
• B. Dependent clause
• C. Subordinate clause
• D. Independent clause

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Coordinate clause.' In the sentence 'I ate, and he drank,' 'I ate' and 'he drank' are coordinate clauses. They are both independent clauses that are joined by the coordinating conjunction 'and.' A coordinate clause is a type of independent clause that is equally important and balanced within a sentence. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on an independent clause. A subordinate clause is a type of dependent clause that functions within a sentence to provide additional information but does not express a complete thought. An independent clause, on the other hand, can stand alone as a complete sentence.
