Question 1: What is the value of tan(45°)?

• 1/√3
• √3
• √2/2
• 1 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 1

tan(45°) = sin(45°)/cos(45°) = (√2/2)/(√2/2) = 1.

Question 2: Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. For every song that is a hit, it is critical to have a quality “beat” and quality lyrics; h̲o̲w̲e̲v̲e̲r̲ music companies hire professional producers and song writers.

• therefore (Correct answer)
• nevertheless
• however
• yet
• and

Correct answer: therefore

The first part of the sentence states that quality beat and lyrics are critical for a hit song. The second part describes music companies hiring professionals. This relationship is one of cause and effect: because quality is critical, companies *therefore* hire professionals to achieve it. 'However' implies a contrast, which is not present here.

Question 3: Solve: 2^(x+1) = 16

• 4
• 5
• 3 (Correct answer)
• 2

Correct answer: 3

16 = 2⁴, so 2^(x+1) = 2⁴ means x + 1 = 4, giving x = 3.

Question 4: Which statement is true about a rectangle?

• All interior angles measure 60°
• All four sides are equal in length
• The diagonals are perpendicular to each other

A rectangle has opposite sides that are both parallel and equal, with all four angles measuring 90°.

Question 5: Tina bought a scarf for $16.65. She gave the clerk $20. How much change should she get back?

• $3.35 (Correct answer)
• $4.35
• $3.45
• $3.25

Correct answer: $3.35

To find out how much change Tina should receive, subtract the cost of the scarf from the amount she paid. Tina paid $20.00 and the scarf cost $16.65. Performing the subtraction, $20.00 - $16.65 equals $3.35. Therefore, Tina should get $3.35 back in change.

Question 6: Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. There are many reasons to see I Heart H̲u̲c̲k̲a̲b̲e̲e̲s̲, ̲J̲a̲s̲o̲n̲ ̲S̲c̲h̲w̲a̲r̲t̲z̲m̲a̲n̲'s̲ ̲p̲e̲r̲f̲o̲r̲m̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲b̲e̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲o̲n̲e̲ ̲r̲e̲a̲s̲o̲n̲.

• Huckabees, including Jason Schwartzman's performance. (Correct answer)
• Huckabees, the performance of Jason Schwartzman is one of them.
• Huckabees; Jason Schwartzman's performance, for one.
• Huckabees, Jason Schwartzman's performance is only one of them.
• Huckabees, Jason Schwartzman's performance being one reason.

Correct answer: Huckabees, including Jason Schwartzman's performance.

The phrase 'the reason...is because' is redundant because 'because' inherently means 'for the reason that.' This creates a grammatical error. Option C corrects this by using the more concise and grammatically correct phrasing 'the reason...is that,' and also improves the awkward 'her being a fan' to the more direct 'she is a fan.'

Question 7: What is sin(30°)?

• 1/2 (Correct answer)
• √3/2
• √2/2
• 1

Correct answer: 1/2

sin(30°) = 1/2, a standard value from the unit circle.

Correct answer: (x − 3)(x + 3)

x² − 9 is a difference of squares: (x − 3)(x + 3).

Question 9: The line in the xy-coordinate system is the graph of the equation y=mx+b. Which of the following must be true?

• mb = 0
• mb (Correct answer)
• mb = 1
• m = -b
• b

Correct answer: mb

The slope and y -intercept of the graph of y=mx+b are m and b respectively. From the graph, it can be seen that the line has a negative slope and a positive y-intercept. Therefore, m<0 and b>0 so mb<0.

Question 10: Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. A̲ ̲s̲h̲o̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲l̲y̲ ̲i̲n̲d̲e̲l̲i̲b̲l̲e̲ ̲m̲o̲m̲e̲n̲t̲ I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out that Kurt Cobain had died.

• Shocked and indelible,
• Shocking and I will never forget it,
• A shocking, indelible moment,
• It was a shocking and indelible moment; (Correct answer)
• A shockingly indelible moment,

Correct answer: It was a shocking and indelible moment;

The original sentence begins with a grammatically disconnected phrase, 'A shockingly indelible moment,' which functions as a fragment. Option C corrects this by transforming the introductory phrase into a complete independent clause ('It was a shocking and indelible moment') and properly connecting it to the subsequent independent clause with a semicolon. This creates a grammatically sound and clear sentence.

Question 11: Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Concerns about global warming have grown into actual efforts sanctioned by non-governmental organizations and governments that not only work to u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲s̲t̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲g̲l̲o̲b̲a̲l̲ ̲w̲a̲r̲m̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲a̲l̲s̲o̲ ̲t̲o̲ ̲p̲r̲e̲v̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲i̲t̲.

• understand global warming but also to prevent its growth. (Correct answer)
• understand global warming yet also to prevent it’s growth.
• understand global warming but also to prevent it.
• understand global warming yet also to prevent it.
• understand global warming and also to prevent it.

Correct answer: understand global warming but also to prevent its growth.

The correlative conjunction 'not only... but also' is required for proper grammatical structure when presenting two parallel ideas. Additionally, 'prevent its growth' is more specific and accurate than 'prevent it,' as the efforts are aimed at preventing the *increase* or *worsening* of global warming, not its complete eradication. The possessive 'its' is correctly used here.

Question 12: For two particular numbers x and y, the values of x − y and 2x − y are consecutive odd integers, respectively. What is the value of x ?

• 2 (Correct answer)
• -1/2
• 0
• 1
• -1

Correct answer: 2

Consecutive odd integers differ by 2. Since (x - y) and (2x - y) are consecutive odd integers, their difference must be 2. Therefore, we can set up the equation: (2x - y) - (x - y) = 2. Simplifying the equation, we get 2x - y - x + y = 2, which reduces to x = 2. The variable y cancels out, allowing for a direct solution for x.

Question 13: If two lines are perpendicular, the angle formed between them is:

• 45°
• 120°
• 60°
• 90° (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 90°

Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle, which measures exactly 90°.

Question 14: Read the following passage and answer the question  Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water, which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated phenomenon. When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of energy-energy, which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence. This passage principally intends to:

• attempt a description of a phenomenon (Correct answer)
• reinforce certain research findings
• resolve a controversy
• tabulate various observations
• sketch a theory

Correct answer: attempt a description of a phenomenon

The passage focuses on explaining the 'disequilibrium at the interface of water and air' and how it affects the transfer of heat and water vapor. It details the role of wind, turbulence, and wave formation in this process, concluding that a 'detailed understanding of this phenomenon' is still needed. This descriptive approach, explaining how something works, aligns best with attempting to describe a natural phenomenon.

Question 15: Identify the indirect object in: 'Maria gave her friend a gift.'

• gave
• her friend (Correct answer)
• Maria
• a gift

Correct answer: her friend

The indirect object is the recipient of the action; 'her friend' receives the gift.

Correct answer: The book which I read was great.

'Which' is used in relative clauses referring to things; 'who' and 'whom' refer to people.

Question 45: If x = y, what does 4(x-y) + 7 =?

• 4xy + 7
• 11x - 11y
• 7 (Correct answer)
• 4x - 4y + 7

Correct answer: 7

Given that x = y, the term (x-y) in the expression becomes (x-x) or (y-y), which simplifies to 0. Substituting this into the expression, we get 4(0) + 7. This simplifies further to 0 + 7, which equals 7.

Question 46: A store sells pens at 3 for $1.50. How much do 10 pens cost?

• $5.50
• $5.00 (Correct answer)

• In many cultures fish eggs are considered a delicacy. (Correct answer)
• Fish eggs, a delicacy in many cultures.
• In many cultures they consider fish eggs a delicacy.
• In many cultures a delicacy is considered to be fish eggs.

Correct answer: In many cultures fish eggs are considered a delicacy.

The original sentence uses the vague pronoun 'they' without a clear antecedent, making the subject unclear. Option B corrects this by using the passive voice, making 'fish eggs' the clear subject of the sentence. This revision improves clarity and conciseness by directly stating what is considered a delicacy.

Question 48: A toll is $2 for a car and the driver and 75 cent for each additional passenger. If the toll comes to $4.25, how many total people are in the car?

Question 62: Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Lindsey knows that the reason people dislike her i̲s̲ ̲b̲e̲c̲a̲u̲s̲e̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲h̲e̲r̲ ̲b̲e̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲a̲ Philadelphia Phillies fan.

• is because she is a
• is that of her being a
• is her being a
• is that she is a (Correct answer)
• is because of her being a

Correct answer: is that she is a

The phrase 'the reason...is because' is redundant because 'because' inherently means 'for the reason that.' This creates a grammatical error. Option C corrects this by using the more concise and grammatically correct phrasing 'the reason...is that,' and also improves the awkward 'her being a fan' to the more direct 'she is a fan.'
