• D. Last summer, my family went on a trip to Niagara Falls in New York.

3. Based on an examination of word parts, which of the following words means 'above the kidney'?

• A. Interrenal
• B. Subrenal
• C. Intrarenal
• D. Suprarenal

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Suprarenal.' Breaking down the word parts, 'supra-' means above, and '-renal' pertains to the kidney. Therefore, 'Suprarenal' means above the kidney. Choice A, 'Interrenal,' is incorrect as 'inter-' means between or among. Choice B, 'Subrenal,' is incorrect as 'sub-' means below. Choice C, 'Intrarenal,' is incorrect as 'intra-' means within or inside.

4. Julia Robinson, an avid photographer in her spare time, was able to capture stunning shots of the local wildlife on her last business trip to Australia. Which of the following is an adjective in the preceding sentence?

• A. Time
• B. Capture
• C. Avid
• D. Photographer

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Avid.' In the sentence, 'avid' describes Julia Robinson as someone who is enthusiastic and passionate about photography in her spare time. Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns, and in this case, 'avid' modifies the noun 'photographer.' Choice A, 'Time,' is a noun and does not describe or modify any other word in the sentence. Choice B, 'Capture,' is a verb indicating an action taken by Julia Robinson. Choice D, 'Photographer,' is a noun identifying the role or occupation of Julia Robinson, not describing her in this context.

5. Many _____ books are popular among adults these days.

• A. Children's
• B. Childrens's
• C. Childrens'
• D. Childrens

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Children's.' In this context, 'Children's' is the correct possessive form to indicate that the books belong to or are associated with children. Choice B ('Childrens's') is incorrect due to the unnecessary extra 's' after the apostrophe. Choice C ('Childrens'') is wrong as it is missing the apostrophe to show possession. Choice D ('Childrens') is incorrect as it is missing the apostrophe and does not form the possessive form correctly.
