1. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

• A. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
• B. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
• C. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
• D. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June, 2011.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer. The sentence is punctuated correctly with commas separating the city, state, and the rest of the sentence. In Choice A, there should be a comma after 'California' to correctly separate the city and state. Choice B lacks a comma after 'California,' creating a run-on sentence. Choice D incorrectly uses a comma before the year '2011,' which disrupts the flow of the sentence.

2. What type of sentence is the following: 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!'?

• A. Interrogative sentence
• B. Declarative sentence
• C. Exclamatory sentence
• D. Imperative sentence

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!' expresses strong emotion ('Wow') and conveys an exclamation, indicating that it is an exclamatory sentence. Exclamatory sentences are used to show strong feelings or emotions and typically end with an exclamation mark. Choice A, 'Interrogative sentence,' is incorrect because interrogative sentences ask questions, which this sentence does not. Choice B, 'Declarative sentence,' is incorrect because declarative sentences make statements or convey information, which is not the case here. Choice D, 'Imperative sentence,' is incorrect because imperative sentences give commands or instructions, which are not present in the given sentence.

3. Based on the evidence found, electrical stimulation may be a potential therapy for OSAS, warranting further clinical trial. Which type of document is this sentence most likely from?

• A. Motivational speech
• B. Business memo
• C. Scientific journal article
• D. Personal blog

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence discusses evidence and clinical trials related to a specific therapy, indicating a scientific context. Scientific journal articles are known for presenting research findings, discussing evidence, and proposing further studies, making them the most suitable source for this type of information. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because a motivational speech is more focused on inspiring and encouraging, a business memo typically deals with internal communication in organizations, and a personal blog reflects individual opinions or experiences, none of which align with the content and tone of the sentence provided.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'somnambulist' in the sentence based on the context clues: 'If you wake up outside in your pajamas in the middle of the night, you may be a somnambulist.'

• A. Explorer
• B. Magician
• C. Insomniac
• D. Sleepwalker

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Sleepwalker.' A somnambulist is someone who walks or performs other activities while asleep, commonly known as a sleepwalker. In the given sentence, the context of waking up outside in pajamas in the middle of the night indicates an occurrence associated with sleepwalking. Choice A, 'Explorer,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the behavior described. Choice B, 'Magician,' is not related to the context of sleepwalking. Choice C, 'Insomniac,' refers to a person who has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, which is not the meaning conveyed in the sentence. Therefore, 'D: Sleepwalker' is the most appropriate choice based on the context clues provided.

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.
