To determine the correct answers to the questions, let's examine the options provided for each question:
1. Success is not measured ON a person's wealth or social status, but ON how much a person contributes to the welfare of others.
Based on the context, the word "ON" is used incorrectly. It should be replaced with a word that indicates the standard or criteria for measuring success. Looking at the options:
a. "in"
b. "upon"
c. "about"
d. "by"
The best word to replace "ON" is "by," as it indicates the means or method of measuring success. Therefore, the correct answer is d.
2. Success come more from a person's attitude than from anything else; if a person has the desire to succeed, then that person will do IT.
In this sentence, the word "IT" is vague and does not clearly refer to anything specific. We need to replace it with a more appropriate word or phrase. Looking at the options:
a. "successful things."
b. "stuff necessary to succeed."
c. "whatever that person needs to have to do to become a very accomplished and successful person."
d. "whatever is necessary to succeed."
The best choice to replace "IT" is "whatever is necessary to succeed" as it clearly refers to the actions or elements required for success. Therefore, the correct answer is d.
3. A topic sentence should also do one other thing. What is it?
To determine the purpose of a topic sentence, let's look at the options provided:
a. Tell the reader what the three subpoints are (a 3 point topic sentence).
b. Make the reader feel good about the subject.
c. Tell the reader what type of strategy the writer intends to use in the paragraph.
d. Convince the reader that the writer is correct.
The purpose of a topic sentence is to provide a clear and concise statement that introduces the main idea of a paragraph. It helps guide the reader and sets the tone for the content that follows. Among the options, the best choice is a, as it accurately describes the function of a topic sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is a.
4. What would be the best choice from those below for a topic sentence?
Reading the prompt, "Choose an issue that you feel needs to be addressed and argue for or against it," we need to select a topic sentence that effectively introduces the chosen issue and aligns with the argumentative nature of the prompt. Let's consider the options:
a. "As many of us know, there are many arguments for raising the driving age."
b. "The driving age should be raised for several reasons."
c. "The minimum driving age should be raised because the current age of sixteen is too low and too many people are not ready to get behind the wheel; so, therefore, they should consider raising the driving age to eighteen."
d. "Considering the disproportionate amount of automobile accidents and fatalities among sixteen and seventeen-year-old adolescents, the state of Maryland should consider raising the driving age to eighteen."
e. "Being as how these young people drive nowadays, with so many accidents, fatalities, and etc., it seems clear that the driving age needs to be raised."
Among the options, the best choice for a topic sentence is d. It clearly introduces the issue and provides a specific reason for considering an increase in the driving age backed by evidence. Therefore, the correct answer is d.
