1. In the given scenario, what type of language should the student use when requesting an appointment with the instructor to discuss the research paper?

• A. Text message starting with 'Hey professor!'
• B. Email message starting with 'It's me, the one who's way behind.'
• C. Email message starting with 'Dear Professor:'
• D. Email after forgetting about the appointment starting with 'Hey professor, I can't believe I missed the appointment.'

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Email message starting with 'Dear Professor:'. In academic settings, it is essential to use formal and respectful language when addressing instructors. Starting the email with 'Dear Professor:' demonstrates professionalism and respect. Choice A is too informal for a professional setting. Choice B is vague and lacks the necessary level of formality. Choice D showcases unprofessional behavior by not acknowledging missing the appointment until later.

2. What is the structure of the following sentence: The restaurant is unconventional because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza?

• A. Simple
• B. Compound
• C. Complex
• D. Compound-complex

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence is a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause 'The restaurant is unconventional' and a dependent clause 'because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza.' In a complex sentence, an independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause cannot. Choice A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains just one independent clause. Choice B is incorrect as a compound sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. Choice D is incorrect as a compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

3. What is the correct order for the following sentence: 'yesterday she went to the store'?

• A. She went to the store yesterday.
• B. To the store she went yesterday.
• C. Yesterday to the store she went.
• D. She yesterday went to the store.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct order for the sentence 'yesterday she went to the store' is 'She went to the store yesterday.' In English, the standard word order for a sentence is subject-verb-object-adverbial (time). Choice A is the correct answer as it follows this standard order. Choice B changes the order of the subject and object. Choice C changes the order of the adverbial and subject. Choice D changes the order of the subject and adverbial. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.

4. 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.

5. When Sofia went in for her yearly check-up, her doctor suggested that they do a blood test to get an update on her hypokalemia, since its decreasing levels were worrisome in the past.

• A. Better
• B. Above
• C. Too much
• D. Not enough

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Not enough.' The prefix 'hypo-' means 'under' or 'not enough,' as seen in the word 'hypokalemia,' which refers to low levels of potassium. 'Better' (choice A), 'Above' (choice B), and 'Too much' (choice C) are all incorrect because they do not convey the meaning of insufficient or low levels associated with hypokalemia.
