1) Initially, we constructed experiments that explored new relationships among six major systems of the human body: circulatory, digestive, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and respiratory. 2) We believe that this work will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior. 3) Then, we discovered, through a series of curious events and calculations, that these systems were all intricately involved in a kind of psychic economy. 4) Our experimental research project has focused on what we call the Psycho-Physical Performance Scale. 5) Therefore, we ultimately chose to classify different triggers of human actions and productions according to these new relationships. Which of the following best orders these sentences to form a well-organized paragraph?
A. 4, 1, 3, 5, 2
B. 1, 3, 4, 2, 5
C. 2, 1, 3, 5, 4
D. 2,4,1,3,5
1, 3, 4, 2, 5.
This order begins presents the initial experiments, then the discovery, after which it discusses the research project, introduces the belief and ends with the classification. While it provides the context for the belief, it starts with the discovery, which may confuse the reader as it doesn't establish the topic first.
The paragraph is as follows:
"Initially, we constructed experiments that explored new relationships among six major systems of the human body: circulatory, digestive, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and respiratory.

Our experimental research project has focused on what we call the Psycho-Physical Performance Scale. We believe that this work will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior. Therefore, we ultimately chose to classify different triggers of human actions and productions according to these new relationships."
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

B. Several car's bumpers were crushed after the collision.

Q #2: Which of the following sentences is written correctly?
A. The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage.
B. The lizard has the ability to altar it's coloration to blend in with the foliage.
C. The lizard has the ability to altar its coloration to blend in with the foliage.
D. The lizard has the ability to altre its coloration to blend in with the foliage.
Answer Explanation
The sentence written correctly is: "The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage." The word "alter" is spelled correctly, and the pronoun "its" is used correctly to show possession. The word "altar" in options B and D is a different word that means a raised platform used for religious or ceremonial purposes, and the word "it's" in option B is a contraction of "it is," which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

Q #5: Which of the following sentences correctly uses a complex sentence structure?
A. They had to decide between adopting a cat or a dog at the rescue shelter.
B. Whenever the boys played in the rain, they came home with muddy clothes.
C. The student brought her laptop, textbooks, and parking pass.
D. She wanted to go to the beach after she left work.
Answer Explanation
The sentence "She wanted to go to the beach after she left work."(Choice D) correctly uses a complex sentence structure. It consists of an independent clause "She wanted to go to the beach" and a dependent clause "after she left work."
Choice B is wrong because the sentence contains two independent clauses: "Whenever the boys played in the rain" and "they came home with muddy clothes." These clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "and." While it is a sentence with multiple clauses, it does not contain a dependent clause.
Note: To be a complex sentence, there should be an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Choice B only consists of two independent clauses without a dependent clause, making it a compound sentence instead of a complex sentence.
Be keen to differentiate between complex and compound sentences.

Q #6: Fill in the blanks. The class is nervous about _____ first exam.
A. its'
B. its
C. it's
D. they're
Answer Explanation
In the given sentence, "the class" is a singular noun and requires a singular possessive pronoun. "Its" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "it" to use with a singular noun, as opposed to "it's," which is a contraction of "it is" and would not be appropriate in this context. "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and would not be appropriate because "class" is singular, not plural.

B. If any less people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.
C. If any less people watch that television series, the affect will be its cancellation.
D. If any fewer people watch that television series, the effect will be its cancellation.

"Fewer" is used when referring to items that can be counted, while "less" is used for quantities that cannot be counted. In this case, "people" is a countable noun, so "fewer" is the correct word to use. Additionally, "effect" is the correct noun to use in this sentence, as it refers to the result or consequence of the action, while "affect" is a verb meaning to influence or have an impact on.
