1. Which of the following points of view is indicated by the word 'she' in the sentence: 'She went to the store after school'?

• A. first-person singular
• B. third-person plural
• C. second-person plural
• D. third-person singular

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'third-person singular.' In the sentence 'She went to the store after school,' the word 'she' is a third-person pronoun, indicating that the narrator is talking about someone else (not themselves) in singular form. First-person singular involves the narrator talking about themselves, second-person plural would involve addressing a group of people, and third-person plural would refer to multiple individuals, which are not the case in this sentence.

2. 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.

3. Which of the following sentences is written in the active voice?

• A. John threw the ball.
• B. The ball was thrown by John.
• C. The ball had been thrown by John.
• D. The ball is thrown by John.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'John threw the ball.' Active voice sentences have the subject performing the action, which is the case in this sentence where 'John' is the subject performing the action 'threw.' Choices A, C, and D are in passive voice where the subject receives the action rather than performing it.

4. Based on the word parts, which of the following is a synonym for superlative?

• A. Relevant
• B. Surprising
• C. Excellent
• D. Unimportant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'superlative' implies the highest quality, which aligns with the meaning of 'excellent'. Therefore, 'excellent' is the correct synonym. Choice A, 'Relevant', does not convey the same meaning and is unrelated to superlative. Choice B, 'Surprising', suggests something unexpected rather than the highest quality. Choice D, 'Unimportant', is the opposite of what superlative represents, making it an incorrect choice.

5. Select the book title that does not contain a preposition.

• A. The Man in the Brown Suit
• B. The Secret of Chimneys
• C. Murder on the Orient Express
• D. And Then There Were None

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D' - 'And Then There Were None.' This title does not contain a preposition. Prepositions are words that show the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence. In this title, 'And,' 'Then,' 'There,' and 'None' are not prepositions; they are conjunctions and pronouns. Choices A, B, and C all contain prepositions: 'in,' 'of,' and 'on,' respectively. Therefore, they are incorrect answers for this question.
