To find the answers to these questions, we need to carefully consider the options and analyze the details provided.
1. Which of the following is not a good example of specific word choice?
To determine the answer, we need to assess the given options. Option A, "They were stranded on the island," uses a specific word choice to convey the situation of being left on the island against their will. Option B, "They were left on the island," also provides a clear description. Option C, "They were ditched on the island," uses a more informal and slang term, which may not be considered a good example of specific word choice. Therefore, the answer is option C.
2. The climax of the story's plot occurs when:
We need to identify the event that represents the climax of the story's plot. Looking at the options, Mr. Sánchez finding the boys playing basketball does not seem like a significant event with high intensity. Rey going back to help Mr. Sánchez fix his flat tire also does not carry the same intensity. However, Rey's mother asking him to pick up his brother could potentially introduce a turning point or conflict, making it a more likely candidate for the climax. Therefore, the answer is option C.
3. Which of the following is a prepositional phrase?
To identify the prepositional phrase from the given options, we need to determine which one begins with a preposition. Option A, "he didn't feel safe," does not start with a preposition. Option B, "leaving us behind," starts with the action verb "leaving" and does not function as a prepositional phrase. Option C, "without supervision," begins with the preposition "without" and qualifies as a prepositional phrase. Therefore, the answer is option C.
4. Which of the following is a main idea from "The Brink's Robbery"?
To identify the main idea from the given options, we need to consider the overall central theme of "The Brink's Robbery" story. Option A, "Criminals can be capable of amazing organization and attention to detail," captures the essential aspect of the story's focus on the criminal's meticulous planning. Option B, "Criminals will be loyal to each other until the very end," does not reflect a central theme of the story. Option C, "Criminals often carry out their plans with the help of some corrupt police officer," does not align with the details provided in the story. Therefore, the answer is option A.
5. Which of the following is not an interjection?
To identify the option that is not an interjection, we need to recognize the function of an interjection, which is used to express strong emotions or sudden bursts of feelings. Looking at the options, "oops" and "maybe" are both interjections as they express surprise or uncertainty. However, "awesome" does not fall into the category of expressing a sudden burst of emotion, so it is not an interjection. Therefore, the answer is option B.
Based on these considerations, the correct answers to the questions are:
1. C
2. C
3. C
4. A
5. B
