Please read your text materials carefully. Apply what you've learned to these test questions.
1. The correct answer is: b. Jordan was studying for his criminal justice exam, and his brother offered to help him study. Devon went over each of the questions with him.
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify who went over the questions with Jordan. The sentence states "his brother offered to help him study," so we know it was Jordan's brother. Among the given options, only option b mentions Devon as Jordan's brother, so it is the correct answer.
2. The correct answer is: b. For example, they may have gone to their friend's birthday on a school night knowing that they have to get up the next morning for a test.
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense and possessive pronoun. The sentence is discussing a past event, so "have gone" is the correct verb tense. The possessive pronoun for "friend" should be "friend's," so option b is the correct answer.
3. The correct answer is: c. In conclusion, failing college is not something a person should do after spending all of their hard-earned money to go there.
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the most appropriate concluding statement. Out of the given options, option c provides a concise and effective conclusion by emphasizing that failing college after investing a significant amount of money should be avoided.
4. The correct answer is: d. My sister sells sea shells by the seashore; she meets some very wonderful people that way.
To determine the correct answer, we need to select the option that continues the sentence in a logical and coherent manner. Option d provides a continuation that maintains the subject and introduces additional information about the sister meeting wonderful people.
5. The correct answer is: b. When he skis, Jim never falls down as much as I.
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the correct pronoun for the comparison. In this case, the comparison is between "Jim" and "I." Since "Jim" is the subject of the verb "skis," the pronoun "I" should be used instead of "me." Therefore, option b is the correct answer.
