1. 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.

2. By examining the parts of each word, determine which of the following words refers to 'a drug that removes feeling or sensation.'

• A. Hyperalgesia
• B. Subcranial
• C. Hypoglycemic
• D. Anaesthetic

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anaesthetic'. 'Anaesthetic' refers to a drug that removes feeling or sensation. The prefix 'ana-' means without, and the root 'esthetic' relates to sensation or feeling. 'Hyperalgesia' refers to increased sensitivity to pain, 'Subcranial' does not relate to drugs or removing sensation, and 'Hypoglycemic' refers to low blood sugar levels, not a drug that removes feeling or sensation.

3. Which of the following sentences uses second person point of view?

• A. I don't want to make plans for the weekend before I see my work schedule.
• B. She had to miss the last three yoga classes due to illness.
• C. Pluto is no longer considered a planet because it is not gravitationally dominant.
• D. Be sure to turn off all of the lights before locking up for the night.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. This sentence uses the second person point of view by directly addressing the reader or listener with the phrase 'Be sure to.' It is instructing or advising someone on what action to take, making it a clear example of second person point of view. Choices A, B, and C all use first person (I) or third person (she, Pluto), which do not involve direct interaction with the reader or listener, unlike the second person point of view present in choice D.

4. Caret, carrot, and to, two, and too share something in common. They:

• A. Are nouns
• B. Are monosyllabic
• C. Are homophones
• D. Represent things in nature

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Caret, carrot, and to, two, and too are all examples of homophones. Homophones are words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings. In this case, while these words are spelled differently and have different meanings, they are pronounced the same way. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because these words being discussed do not all fall under the same grammatical category as nouns, monosyllabic words, or representations of things in nature. The commonality among these words lies in being homophones, not in being nouns, monosyllabic, or representations of nature.

5. Identify the independent clause in the following sentence: You need to call your mother as soon as you get home.

• A. You need to call your mother.
• B. As soon as you get home.
• C. You get home.
• D. You need to call.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "You need to call your mother." An independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone and express a complete thought. In this sentence, the clause "You need to call your mother" functions independently and makes complete sense by itself. Choice B, "As soon as you get home," is a dependent clause as it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Choice C, "You get home," is also a dependent clause lacking a complete thought. Choice D, "You need to call," is not a complete sentence without specifying who needs to call.
