• B. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• C. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• D. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct version of the sentence is option D: 'The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.' This option is correct as it does not contain any misspelled words. 'Inquisition' is spelled correctly in this option, while the other options have misspelled variations of the word. Option A, B, and C all contain misspelled versions of 'inquisition,' making them incorrect choices.

2. Based on the language in the passage, which one of the following scenarios is correct?

• A. The writer is a professional in a business environment.
• B. The writer is a researcher writing for a scientific journal.
• C. The writer is a student writing a first draft of a paper.
• D. The writer is an author of literature.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The passage's descriptive and narrative style, focusing on character and setting details, suggests that the writer is an author of literature. Choice A is incorrect because there is no indication of a business environment or professional context in the passage. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not align with the technical or formal language typical of scientific journals. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not reflect the style or content common in student papers, which are usually more structured and formal.

3. When writing a letter to the school board of a public school, which of the following greetings would be most appropriate?

• A. Dearest School Board,
• B. To Whom It May Concern,
• C. Dear Sir and/or Ma’am,
• D. Hello all,

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When addressing a formal letter to the school board, 'Dear Sir and/or Ma’am' is the most appropriate greeting as it shows respect and professionalism. Choice A, 'Dearest School Board,' is too informal and overly personal for a professional communication. Choice B, 'To Whom It May Concern,' is more suitable for general inquiries when the recipient is unknown, not for addressing a specific group like a school board. Choice D, 'Hello all,' is too casual and lacks the formality required when addressing a school board.

4. Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?

• A. having one color
• B. having many parts
• C. having a lot of time
• D. having too much heat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'monochromatic' refers to something that has only one color. Choice A, 'having one color,' is the correct description for monochromatic. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'monochromatic' does not mean 'having many parts,' 'having a lot of time,' or 'having too much heat.' Monochromatic specifically conveys the idea of consisting of or using only one color, making Choice A the correct answer.

5. Which of the following sentences follows the rules of capitalization?

• A. Dashiell visited his cousin Elaine on Tuesday.
• B. Juniper sent a card to Uncle Archibald, who has been unwell.
• C. Flicka and her mother spent the day setting up the rummage sale.
• D. Lowell and his twin sister look alike but have very different personalities.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Titles used before names, like 'Uncle' in 'Uncle Archibald,' should be capitalized. In choices A, C, and D, 'cousin,' 'mother,' and 'sister' are common nouns and should not be capitalized unless used before the name as part of the title. Therefore, they are incorrect choices. Choice B demonstrates proper capitalization rules by capitalizing 'Uncle Archibald,' making it the correct option.
