1. Which word(s) in the following sentence should be capitalized? 'She asked, Do you like Indian food?'

• A. She and do
• B. Do and Indian
• C. She and Indian
• D. She, do, and Indian

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the given sentence, the words that should be capitalized are 'She,' 'do,' and 'Indian.' 'She' needs to be capitalized as it is the pronoun referring to a person, 'do' should be capitalized as it is the beginning of a question, and 'Indian' should be capitalized as it refers to a specific nationality or culture. Choice A is incorrect as 'do' is missing. Choice B is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Choice C is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

2. What type of figurative language is used in the statement, 'Her laughter was music to my ears'?

• A. Metaphor
• B. Simile
• C. Hyperbole
• D. Personification

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement 'Her laughter was music to my ears' directly equates her laughter to music, implying a deeper connection between the two. This direct comparison without using 'like' or 'as' indicates a metaphorical expression. The correct answer is 'Metaphor' because it asserts a direct comparison between two unlike things. 'Simile' would involve using 'like' or 'as' to make a comparison. 'Hyperbole' would be an exaggerated statement not intended to be taken literally. 'Personification' would involve giving human qualities to something that is not human, which is not present in this statement.

3. Ibexes are wild mountain goats that live in the Alps and the mountains of Asia. They climb very steep slopes. They are sure-footed and can easily leap from rock to rock. In winter, they replace their summer coat with thicker hair and a wooly undercoat.

• A. Ibexes are wild mountain goats that are very agile.
• B. Ibexes are found in lowlands and highlands.
• C. Ibexes like to climb steep slopes in the mountains.
• D. Ibexes have adapted to life in the mountains.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Ibexes have adapted to life in the mountains' because it serves as a concluding sentence that summarizes the content of the paragraph. This statement encapsulates the information provided about ibexes living in the Alps and Asian mountains, climbing steep slopes, being sure-footed, and changing their coats in winter. Choice A is incorrect because the text does not specifically mention their agility. Choice B is incorrect as the text only mentions the Alps and Asian mountains, not lowlands. Choice C is also incorrect as the text mentions ibexes climbing steep slopes, not just liking to do so.

4. Many _____ books are popular among adults these days.

• A. Children's
• B. Childrens's
• C. Childrens'
• D. Childrens

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Children's.' In this context, 'Children's' is the correct possessive form to indicate that the books belong to or are associated with children. Choice B ('Childrens's') is incorrect due to the unnecessary extra 's' after the apostrophe. Choice C ('Childrens'') is wrong as it is missing the apostrophe to show possession. Choice D ('Childrens') is incorrect as it is missing the apostrophe and does not form the possessive form correctly.
