1. What is the main idea of the following passage: 'The internet has revolutionized communication, allowing people to connect instantly from anywhere in the world. Social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, have further amplified this connectivity, enabling individuals to share information and ideas on a global scale.'

• A. The internet is a source of entertainment.
• B. Social media is the only way to communicate online.
• C. The internet has transformed communication globally.
• D. Technology is becoming increasingly complex.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage highlights how the internet and social media have revolutionized communication globally, enabling instant connections and sharing of information on a global scale. It emphasizes the transformative impact of these technologies on communication, not just entertainment or the complexity of technology. Choice A is incorrect as the passage focuses on communication, not entertainment. Choice B is incorrect as it oversimplifies the role of social media in communication. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically address the increasing complexity of technology.

2. Select the pronoun that could be used in the following sentence: Mrs. Sato, _______ lives down the street, is 99 years old.

• A. she
• B. who
• C. which
• D. whom

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' - 'who.' 'Who' is the correct relative pronoun to introduce the clause 'who lives down the street,' providing more information about Mrs. Sato. The other choices, 'she,' 'which,' and 'whom,' are not appropriate relative pronouns for referring to a person in this context.

3. Which of the following words is spelled correctly?

• A. Miniscool
• B. Miniature
• C. Maintenance
• D. Millennium

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Millennium.' 'Millennium' is spelled correctly, referring to a period of 1000 years. Choice A, 'Miniscool,' and Choice B, 'Miniature,' are misspelled. Choice C, 'Maintenance,' is a commonly misspelled word, but in this case, it is spelled correctly. However, the correct spelling requested in the question is 'Millennium.'

4. Which word in the sentence 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' demonstrates alliteration?

• A. quick
• B. brown
• C. fox
• D. jumps

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant sound in neighboring words. In the sentence 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,' 'quick' and 'brown' both start with the 'k' sound, but only 'quick' aligns with the definition of alliteration as it repeats the 'k' sound found at the beginning of the words.

5. Which punctuation mark is used to indicate a strong feeling or emotion?

• A. Period
• B. Comma
• C. Question mark
• D. Exclamation mark

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Exclamation mark.' Exclamation marks are used to express strong emotions such as excitement, surprise, or urgency. They indicate a heightened level of emotion in a sentence. Periods (A) are used to indicate the end of a statement, commas (B) are used to separate elements in a sentence, and question marks (C) are used to indicate questions or uncertainty. In this context, the use of an exclamation mark is the most appropriate choice to convey a strong feeling or emotion.
