1. How should the following sentence be correctly punctuated: 'She asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with her'?

• A. She asked me, if I wanted to go to the movies with her.
• B. She asked me: if I wanted to go to the movies with her?
• C. She asked me, if I wanted, to go to the movies with her.
• D. She asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with her.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it uses a question mark within the quoted material as it is a direct question. In this case, the sentence is a reported question, so it does not need additional punctuation within the reported speech. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly adds a comma before 'if.' Choice B is incorrect because a colon is not appropriate before 'if' in this context. Choice C is incorrect as it adds an unnecessary comma after 'wanted.'

2. Which of the following prefixes means 'above'?

• A. Dys-
• B. Supra-
• C. Intra-
• D. Sub-

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Supra-' as it means 'above.' 'Dys-' denotes 'bad' or 'difficult,' 'Intra-' means 'within,' and 'Sub-' indicates 'below' or 'under.' Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect in the context of the question.

3. 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.

4. What part of speech is the word 'growing' in the sentence: 'He felt a growing sense of unease'?

• A. Verb
• B. Adjective
• C. Noun
• D. Adverb

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'growing' in the sentence 'He felt a growing sense of unease' is functioning as an adjective. It describes the sense of unease, indicating a characteristic of the sense rather than an action (verb), a person, place, thing, or idea (noun), or modifying a verb, an adjective, or another adverb (adverb). Therefore, 'growing' is an adjective in this context.

5. What is the main idea of the paragraph?

• A. Coal mining is a dangerous job.
• B. Coal mining is a dirty job.
• C. Coal mining takes place underground.
• D. Coal miners risk injury on a daily basis.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The main idea of the paragraph is to highlight the dangers associated with coal mining. The sentence 'Coal miners risk injury and health issues on a daily basis' supports the concept that coal mining is a dangerous job. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on cleanliness rather than safety. Choice C is incorrect as the location of coal mining is not the primary focus of the paragraph. Choice D is incorrect as it does not encompass the full extent of risks mentioned in the paragraph.
