Can someone please check my answers, and see if they are correct?
1. To find the page that would likely contain the sentence mentioned, we need to refer to the index. The sentence mentions the "Declaration" and the "United States." Based on the given options, we should look for pages related to the "Declaration" or "United States." The correct answer is C. 311, as the "charter of United Nations" is mentioned on that page, which aligns with the reference to the "Declaration" and "United States" in the sentence.
2. To access a list of sources related to women's roles in literature, a student should consult a bibliography. A bibliography is a list of books, articles, and other sources that have been used or referred to in the research. It provides information about the sources used in a particular study or topic.
3. The correct option to complete the sentence is A. "was." The subject "quarterback" is singular, and the phrase "along with his teammates" is a prepositional phrase that does not affect the subject-verb agreement. Therefore, we should use the singular form of the verb "to be," which is "was."
4. Based on the outline, the correct statement is C. "Chelicerata is more closely related to Crustacea than to Uniramia." This is because Chelicerata and Crustacea are both subphyla under the phylum Arthropoda, while Uniramia is a separate subphylum under the phylum Arthropoda. Therefore, Chelicerata and Crustacea are more closely related to each other than either of them is to Uniramia.
5. Based on the directions, the correct option is C. "When the TV turns off during step 4, the remote control has found the code." This is because step 4 instructs the user to stop alternating between pressing PWR and TV when the TV turns off. This implies that the remote control has successfully found the code to turn off the TV.
6. To determine which supplement must be built up in a person's system to achieve the desired effect, we can analyze the descriptions. Among the options, Sparkenizer is the supplement that needs to be taken for 3 weeks to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Sparkenizer.
7. To stay healthy during the winter season and prevent colds, the best choice among the given supplements is D. immunizer. This is because immunizer is specifically mentioned to boost immunity and protect against viral intruders, which aligns with the student's goal of staying healthy and preventing colds.
8. The correct sentence is A. "When properly designed, an automobile can achieve great fuel efficiency." This sentence uses proper punctuation and communicates the intended meaning clearly.
9. The sentence violates the language convention of pronoun-antecedent agreement. The pronoun "you" is used in the introductory clause, but it does not agree in number with the antecedent "person," which is singular. The sentence should be corrected as follows: "The gist of the saying went something like this: If a person wants to get ahead in life, he or she has to be willing to work for it."
10. The word that means the same as "confidence" in the given context is A. "secret." In the sentence, "confidence" is used to describe the trust and assurance with which the speaker was told something privately. This aligns with the meaning of "secret" as something shared in confidence and not meant to be divulged to others.
11. Based on the cellular phone plans listed, Plan 2 would best fit the individual's needs. This plan offers 600 minutes for $90/month and includes unlimited nights & weekends and unlimited text messaging. Since the individual primarily talks on the phone at night and sends an average of 50 text messages per day, Plan 2 provides the necessary talk time and unlimited text messaging.
12. The least expensive service among the options is C. A 60-minute hot stone massage. This option is priced at $110, while the other services are priced higher: A 30-minute therapeutic massage with passive stretching is priced at $120 (option A), a 60-minute Swedish soothing massage with aroma therapy is priced at $75 (option B), and a 90-minute Swedish soothing massage is priced at $100 (option D).
13. The statement supported by the advertisement is D. "This particular exterminator company has been in business in this town for 50 years." The advertisement states that the company, Cridder Getter Ridder Pest Control, has been in business for over 50 years, with 20 years in the town.
14. Based on the index, the page most likely to contain the abbreviation for a centimeter would be D. 106. The index mentions "Metric Abbreviations" on that page, and since centimeters are a metric unit, it is likely to be listed there.
15. To find information on how pandas learn to climb trees, we should look for pages related to their "Growth and Development" or "Response to Changes in Habitat." The page range that is most likely to provide this information is A. 41-45, as it is focused on the pandas' "Response to Changes in Habitat."
16. For a person who is concerned about the environment and has trouble swallowing pills, the best choice among the fish oil brands is C. Brand C. This brand offers fiber-coated capsules that release immediately for quick absorption by the body. Additionally, it does not contain yeast, lactose, sugar, or gluten, making it suitable for people with specific dietary concerns.
17. The label that prevents a patient from consuming cheese is A. 1. Label 1 states, "Avoid chocolate, wine, milk while taking this medication," but it doesn't mention cheese.
18. The sentence that is written correctly is D. "Mother gets a bit of family news whenever she visits my aunt." This sentence properly places the adverbial phrase "whenever she visits my aunt" after the verb "gets," indicating that the action of getting family news occurs when Mother visits the aunt.
