'The novel’s tone was consistent throughout, blending humor with serious themes. This careful balance ensured the reader could both laugh and reflect deeply on the issues presented. Such consistency in style helps maintain reader interest and emotional connection.' What effect does the underlined sentence have on the passage?

'Word choice greatly affects tone and clarity in writing. Choosing precise and appropriate words helps convey the intended meaning clearly. For example, “happy” can be replaced with “ecstatic” for stronger emotion or “content” for mild satisfaction. Using overly complex words can confuse readers, while vague words weaken the message. Writers should balance diction by selecting words that fit the context and audience. According to the passage, why is precise word choice important?'

'The weather was cold. The sky was clear. We decided to go for a walk in the park. The fresh air and bright sun lifted our spirits. Combining the sentences would improve the flow and clarity of this passage.' Which is the best way to combine the first two sentences?

'Parallelism strengthens writing by making elements in a sentence consistent. When listing actions, verbs should follow the same form: “She likes reading, writing, and jogging.” This consistency helps readers process information easily and improves rhythm. Lack of parallel structure can confuse readers or make sentences awkward. Writers should check that all parts in a series match grammatically. What does the passage suggest about maintaining parallelism in sentences?'

'In writing, clarity often depends on sentence structure. A well-structured sentence places the subject close to the verb to avoid confusion. When the subject and verb are separated by too many phrases or clauses, readers may struggle to understand the main idea. For example, “The book that she bought yesterday is on the table” is clearer than “The book is on the table that she bought yesterday.” Improving sentence structure often involves rearranging words to make sentences more direct and easier to read. Writers should focus on simplicity and avoid unnecessary complexity to enhance clarity. What is the best way to improve sentence clarity based on the passage?'

'Active voice makes writing clearer and more direct. In active voice, the subject performs the action: “The chef cooked the meal.” Passive voice places the subject as the receiver of the action: “The meal was cooked by the chef.” Active voice generally creates stronger, more engaging sentences. Passive voice can be useful for emphasizing the action or when the doer is unknown. Writers should use active voice when clarity and impact are priorities. According to the passage, why is active voice preferred?'

'He kicked the bucket yesterday. Everyone was shocked by the news. The idiom “kicked the bucket” is often misunderstood because it literally suggests kicking a physical bucket, but here it means someone has died. Using idioms without context can confuse readers.' What is the best interpretation of the underlined sentence?

'She sings beautifully every time she performs on stage. Yesterday, she sing a new song that impressed the entire audience. The event was a success, and many people complimented her talent.' Which is the correct verb form to replace the underlined part?

'Despite the heavy rain, the game continued as planned. The phrase “as planned” makes the sentence clearer by specifying the intended action despite weather conditions. This clarity helps readers understand the situation without confusion.' What role does the underlined phrase play in the sentence?

'Grammar rules help ensure effective communication. Using subject-verb agreement correctly is essential for grammatical accuracy. For example, “She walks” is correct, while “She walk” is not. Mistakes in grammar can confuse readers and weaken the writer’s credibility. Writers should also avoid common errors like incorrect pronoun case or inconsistent tense. By mastering grammar and usage, writers make their writing clearer and more professional. According to the passage, what is crucial for grammatical accuracy?'

'Running quickly, the ball was caught by the outfielder. The misplaced modifier confuses the meaning of this sentence. A clearer version would place the modifier correctly.' Which revision fixes the misplaced modifier?

'The lecture included many interesting facts about space exploration. The parts about the moon landing and Mars missions were fascinating and kept the audience engaged. However, some details about rocket science seemed too technical for beginners. Overall, the relevance of the content helped maintain the audience's attention throughout the presentation.' What is the main reason the underlined sentence is effective in this context?

'Parallelism strengthens writing by making elements in a sentence consistent. When listing actions, verbs should follow the same form: “She likes reading, writing, and jogging.” This consistency helps readers process information easily and improves rhythm. Lack of parallel structure can confuse readers or make sentences awkward. Writers should check that all parts in a series match grammatically. What does the passage suggest about maintaining parallelism in sentences?'

'Combining sentences can make writing more fluid and less choppy. Using coordinating conjunctions like “and,” “but,” and “or” can join two independent clauses. For example, “I wanted to go for a walk. It was raining.” becomes “I wanted to go for a walk, but it was raining.” Combining sentences avoids repetition and improves flow. However, writers should avoid run-on sentences by correctly punctuating and joining ideas. According to the passage, what helps combine two independent clauses?'

"In the late 29th century, American cities grew rapidly due to industrialization. **Factories created jobs that attracted immigrants and rural workers alike.** Urban centers expanded, but infrastructure struggled to keep pace.

"During the Industrial Revolution, child labor was a widespread practice in factories. **Many families depended on the extra income their children earned**, despite the harsh and often dangerous conditions. Laws were eventually passed to restrict such labor, improving conditions for future generations." What is the main idea of this passage?

By dusk, lanterns flickered along the shore as tales of triumph and loss drifted into the night." What is the central theme of the passage?

"The research study analyzed hundreds of soil samples to track nutrient content. **Nitrogen levels showed significant decline during the dry season.** Scientists correlated the drop to decreased agricultural runoff.
