    Explanation
    A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. It is used to describe an action or indicate what someone or something is doing. Therefore, the correct answer is "A verb is an action word" as it accurately defines the function and purpose of a verb in a sentence.

    Correct Answer
    A. They're always bickering.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "They're always bickering." This is the correct answer because "They're" is the contraction of "They are," which is the correct subject pronoun for the sentence. The other options "Their," "Theyre," and "There" are incorrect because they do not properly indicate the subject of the sentence.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to another word. Synonyms are used to expand vocabulary and add variety to writing or speech. They allow for more precise and nuanced expression by providing alternative words with similar meanings. For example, "happy" and "joyful" are synonyms because they both convey a positive and cheerful emotion.

    Correct Answer
    A. Personification gives human qualities to non-human things
    Explanation
    Personification is a literary device in which human qualities or characteristics are attributed to non-human objects or entities. It is used to make these non-human things more relatable or to create a vivid image in the reader's mind. By giving human qualities to non-human things, such as animals, objects, or natural phenomena, the writer can evoke emotions and create a deeper connection between the reader and the subject being personified. This helps to enhance the overall impact and effectiveness of the writing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning
    Explanation
    A prefix is added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. Prefixes are a type of affix, which are added to the beginning or end of a word to modify its meaning. In the case of prefixes, they are specifically added to the beginning of a word. By adding a prefix, the original word takes on a new meaning or becomes a different word altogether. This is a common linguistic phenomenon used in many languages to create new words or alter the meaning of existing ones.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I never lend Savannah anything because she always loses things." The word "because" is used to indicate the reason for not lending Savannah anything. Additionally, the correct spelling of "loses" is used, indicating that Savannah frequently misplaces or cannot find the things she borrows.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    A babel of words is an example of:

    • An abstract noun

    • A proper noun

    • A collective noun

    • A common noun

    Correct Answer
    A. A collective noun
    Explanation
    A babel of words is an example of a collective noun because it refers to a group or collection of words. The term "babel" suggests a chaotic or noisy collection of words, similar to the Tower of Babel story in the Bible where different languages caused confusion. Therefore, "babel of words" is a collective noun that represents a multitude or collection of words.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A punctuation mark that is used to indicate extra information in a sentence

    • Hyphen

    • Fullstop

    • Apostrophe

    • Dash

    Correct Answer
    A. Dash
    Explanation
    A dash is a punctuation mark used to indicate extra information in a sentence. It is often used to set off a parenthetical element or to emphasize a point. Unlike a hyphen, which is used to join words together or to separate syllables, a dash is longer and has a more dramatic effect. It can be used in place of commas or parentheses to provide additional information or to create a stronger break in the sentence. Therefore, a dash is the correct answer as it best fits the description of a punctuation mark used to indicate extra information in a sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    'My feet ballooned with swelling' is an example of:

    • Assonance

    • Alliteration

    • Personification

    • Metaphor

    Correct Answer
    A. Metaphor
    Explanation
    The phrase "My feet ballooned with swelling" is an example of a metaphor because it is comparing the swelling of the feet to the action of a balloon inflating. Metaphors are figures of speech that make a comparison between two unrelated things, in this case, the swelling of the feet and the expansion of a balloon. This comparison helps to create a vivid image in the reader's mind and adds depth to the description.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    The apostrophe has the function of:

    • Possession

    • Contraction

    • None of the above

    • Possession and contraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Possession and contraction
    Explanation
    The apostrophe has the function of indicating possession, such as "John's book," where it shows that the book belongs to John. It also functions as a contraction, where it combines two words into one, such as "can't" for "cannot" or "it's" for "it is." Therefore, the correct answer is that the apostrophe serves the purposes of both possession and contraction.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    A word that avoids repetition is 

    • Pronoun

    • Verb

    • Collective noun

    • Article

    Correct Answer
    A. Pronoun
    Explanation
    A word that avoids repetition is a pronoun. Pronouns are used to refer to nouns or noun phrases that have already been mentioned, allowing for more concise and clear communication. They help to avoid repeating the same noun multiple times in a sentence or paragraph.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Which of these is correct? 

    • This chocolate sauce really compliments the dessert.

    • This chocolate sauce really complement the desert.

    • This chocolate sauce really compliments the desert.

    • This chocolate sauce really complements the dessert.

    Correct Answer
    A. This chocolate sauce really complements the dessert.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "This chocolate sauce really complements the dessert." The word "complements" is the correct spelling in this context. "Complement" means to enhance or complete something, which is the intended meaning in this sentence. "Compliments" means to praise or express admiration, which does not make sense in this context. Additionally, the correct spelling of "desert" refers to a dry, sandy area, while "dessert" refers to a sweet dish served after a meal.
