1. Which of the following answer choices is spelled correctly?

• A. intrude
• B. aclimate
• C. wisen
• D. alude

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct spelling is 'intrude,' which means to enter a place or situation where one is unwelcome or not invited. The other answer choices, 'aclimate,' 'wisen,' and 'alude,' are misspelled. 'Aclimate' should be spelled as 'acclimate,' meaning to become accustomed to a new climate or environment. 'Wisen' is likely intended to be 'wisen' but is not a recognized word. 'Alude' should be spelled as 'allude,' meaning to suggest or call attention to indirectly.

2. Which of the following pieces of information would NOT support a thesis about the importance of hands-on learning in early education?

• A. Building structures with blocks helps develop fine-motor skills.
• B. Using modeling clay helps strengthen small finger and hand muscles.
• C. Learning to take good notes helps young students become better listeners.
• D. Hopscotch helps children develop coordination and counting skills.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Taking good notes is not a hands-on activity; it is a cognitive skill that does not involve physical interaction or manipulation. Choices A, B, and D all involve physical activities that directly engage a child's hands and body, supporting the thesis about the importance of hands-on learning in early education. Building structures with blocks, using modeling clay, and playing hopscotch all require physical manipulation and engagement, which are key aspects of hands-on learning.

3. If the word antibacterial describes a substance that kills bacteria, you can infer that the prefix anti-means:

• A. Original to
• B. Against
• C. Before
• D. Under

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Against.' The prefix 'anti-' means 'against,' as seen in the word 'antibacterial,' which denotes something that acts against bacteria. Choice A, 'Original to,' is incorrect as the prefix 'anti-' does not imply 'original to.' Choice C, 'Before,' is incorrect as 'anti-' does not signify 'before' but rather 'against.' Choice D, 'Under,' is also incorrect as 'anti-' does not convey the idea of being 'under' but rather 'against' in this context.

4. Select a verb that correctly completes the following sentence: ____________ not worry about it.

• A. Is
• B. Do
• C. You
• D. Was

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Do.' In the given sentence, the imperative form is used to give a command or instruction. The imperative form of the verb 'to do' is 'do,' which is commonly used in negative commands like 'Do not worry about it.' Choices 'A: Is,' 'C: You,' and 'D: Was' do not fit grammatically or contextually in completing the sentence as they are not imperative verbs.

5. Which of the following facts would be the most relevant to include here?

• A. NO CHANGE; best as written
• B. was another activist group that
• C. had a lot of members that
• D. was another school that

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Option B provides relevant context by specifying that the BPP was another activist group. This clarification helps to establish a parallel between the BPP and the NAACP in terms of their function and purpose. Choice C is incorrect as the number of members is not the key point being compared in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces an unrelated comparison involving schools, which is not relevant to the context provided in the sentence.
