1. To determine the type of organization used in the comparison-and-contrast passage, we need to understand the characteristics of each option provided.
A. A block organization presents all the information about one subject before moving to the next subject. This means that all the information about falcons would be presented first, followed by all the information about hawks.
B. A point-by-point organization alternates between presenting information about one subject and then the other subject. This means that the passage would discuss a specific aspect about falcons, and then immediately contrast it with the same aspect about hawks.
C. A Venn diagram is a visual tool that shows the overlapping and non-overlapping characteristics of two subjects. This option is not applicable to a passage.
D. A chronological organization presents information in a time-based order. This means that the passage would discuss the history or development of falcons and hawks over time.
Based on the given options, it is most likely that the passage uses B) Point-by-point organization, as it presents information about one subject and then immediately contrasts it with the other subject.
2. To identify the category used in the passage to contrast falcons and hawks, we need to analyze the content of the passage.
A. Physical appearance: This category involves discussing the visual characteristics and features of the falcons and hawks. It may include topics such as size, shape, color, beak shape, etc.
B. Speed of flight: This category involves comparing and contrasting the flying speeds of falcons and hawks. It may discuss their hunting abilities, endurance, and maneuverability in the air.
C. Where they live: This category involves discussing the habitats and geographic locations where falcons and hawks can be found. It may include information about their nesting sites, migration patterns, and preferences for certain landscapes.
D. Seasonal adaptations: This category involves comparing how falcons and hawks adapt to different seasons or environmental conditions. It may discuss their behaviors, diet variations, and physical changes during specific times of the year.
To answer the question, we should refer to the specific information provided in the passage about the contrasting category. Based on the given options, it is necessary to have the actual passage or information about the passage to provide an accurate answer.
3. To determine the meaning of the word 'intractable' as used in the sentence, we can break it down by analyzing its Latin root, -tract-, and its common English prefixes.
A. Not knowledgeable: The Latin root -tract- meaning "to draw" or "to pull" does not relate to the meaning of 'intractable' as "not knowledgeable."
B. Not innocent: The Latin root -tract- meaning "to draw" or "to pull" does not relate to the meaning of 'intractable' as "not innocent."
C. Not artistic: The Latin root -tract- meaning "to draw" or "to pull" does not relate to the meaning of 'intractable' as "not artistic."
D. Not easily directed: The Latin root -tract- meaning "to draw" or "to pull" aligns with the meaning of 'intractable' as "not easily directed" or "difficult to control or manage."
Therefore, the best definition for the word 'intractable' as it is used in the sentence is D) Not easily directed.
4. To determine which sentence uses the incorrect form of a troublesome verb, we need to analyze each sentence for proper verb usage.
A. When you ask a question, your voice rises: This sentence correctly uses the verb "rises" in the present tense. The verb follows the subject "your voice" and agrees with it.
B. My mother told me not to raise my voice at her: This sentence correctly uses the verb "raise" in the infinitive form to express a command or instruction. The verb is used after the auxiliary verb "to."
C. We taught the dog to lie down: This sentence correctly uses the verb "lie" in the infinitive form to express an action or state. The verb is used after the auxiliary verb "to."
D. I hope to lay in bed late on Saturday: This sentence uses the incorrect form of the verb "lay." The correct form should be "lie" because the subject "I" is performing the action of reclining, not placing something down. Therefore, the correct form should be "I hope to lie in bed late on Saturday."
Thus, the sentence that uses the incorrect form of a troublesome verb is D) I hope to lay in bed late on Saturday.
5. To determine which sentence uses the incorrect form of an irregular verb, we need to analyze each sentence for proper verb usage.
A. We drank water to avoid dehydration: This sentence correctly uses the past tense of the irregular verb "drink." The verb form "drank" is the past tense form, and it is used appropriately.
B. I have brung you your sweater: This sentence uses the incorrect form of the irregular verb "bring." The correct past participle form should be "brought," not "brung." Therefore, the correct sentence should be "I have brought you your sweater."
C. She did call him last night: This sentence correctly uses the past tense of the irregular verb "call." The verb form "called" is the past tense form, and it is used appropriately.
D. I am doing my homework this afternoon: This sentence correctly uses the present participle form of the irregular verb "do." The verb form "doing" is the present participle form, and it is used appropriately.
Thus, the sentence that uses the incorrect form of an irregular verb is B) I have brung you your sweater, which should be corrected to "I have brought you your sweater."
