A formal outline must have parallel structure. This means that each section or point in the outline should use the same grammatical structure.

Which of the following contains a comma splice?

- B.
Since I got up late this morning, I didn't have time for breakfast.
- C.
I didn't have time for breakfast this morning because I got up late.
Correct Answer
A. I got up late this morning, I didn't have time for breakfast.Explanation
The correct answer contains a comma splice because it joins two independent clauses ("I got up late this morning" and "I didn't have time for breakfast") with only a comma. A comma splice occurs when a comma is used to separate two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction or appropriate punctuation.Rate this question:

Which of the following does NOT contain a fused sentence?
- A.
Tom read the book Jim saw the movie.
- B.
Tom read the book, but Jim saw the movie.
- C.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Tom read the book, but Jim saw the movie.Explanation
The correct answer is "Tom read the book, but Jim saw the movie." This sentence does not contain a fused sentence because it uses a coordinating conjunction ("but") to connect two independent clauses ("Tom read the book" and "Jim saw the movie"). This creates a compound sentence with two separate ideas. In contrast, the first sentence "Tom read the book Jim saw the movie" is a fused sentence because it does not have any punctuation or coordinating conjunction to separate the two independent clauses.Rate this question:

Logos refers to the use of logical reasoning and evidence to support an argument or persuade an audience. This is a correct pairing because appeals to logic involve presenting facts, statistics, and logical reasoning to convince the audience of the validity of a claim.

- A.
Light switch turns on a light
- B.

Correct Answer
A. Light switch turns on a lightExplanation
A cause and effect essay explores the relationship between events, where one event (the cause) leads to another event (the effect). In this case, the light switch turning on a light can be used in a cause and effect essay because it demonstrates a direct cause and effect relationship. When the light switch is turned on, it causes the light to turn on. This example illustrates a clear cause (the action of turning on the light switch) and a clear effect (the light turning on), making it suitable for a cause and effect essay.Rate this question:

Abstract language refers to words or concepts that cannot be perceived through the senses. They are ideas or emotions that exist in the mind. In this case, "fear" is an example of abstract language because it is a feeling or emotion that cannot be physically seen or touched. On the other hand, "red" and "soft" are concrete words that can be experienced through the senses, making them examples of non-abstract or concrete language.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Characters are personifications of abstract ideasExplanation
The correct answer is "characters are personifications of abstract ideas." In an allegory, characters are often used to represent or symbolize abstract concepts or ideas. Instead of being fully developed individuals, they serve as representations of larger themes or messages within the story. This allows the author to explore complex ideas in a more accessible and symbolic way, creating a deeper layer of meaning for the reader.Rate this question:

Which are examples of assonance?
- A.
Adorable, annoying animals
- B.
Five shiny dimes brightened my life
- C.
Cute canine creatures
Correct Answer
B. Five shiny dimes brightened my lifeExplanation
The phrase "five shiny dimes brightened my life" is an example of assonance because it contains repeated vowel sounds, specifically the long "i" sound in "five" and "brightened" and the long "i" and "i" sounds in "shiny" and "life". This repetition of vowel sounds creates a musical and rhythmic effect in the sentence. The other phrases do not exhibit this repetition of vowel sounds, so they are not examples of assonance.Rate this question:
