    Caffeine is a stimulant; next, it can keep a person awake at night. - ProProfs

    Caffeine is a stimulant; next, it can keep a person awake at night.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Caffeine is indeed a stimulant, but it does not necessarily mean that it will keep a person awake at night. The effects of caffeine vary from person to person, and some individuals may be more sensitive to its stimulating effects than others. While caffeine can interfere with sleep for some people, it is not a guarantee that it will keep everyone awake at night.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement mentions that only four courses were able to run, and this is compared favorably with other summer programs. The correct answer is False because the statement implies that running only four courses is a positive aspect, which contradicts the usual expectation of having a larger number of courses in a summer program.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

     _____ this diet consists of non-meat food sources, a vegetarian typically consumes less fat and cholesterol than an individual who consumes meat. - ProProfs

     _____ this diet consists of non-meat food sources, a vegetarian typically consumes less fat and cholesterol than an individual who consumes meat.

    • Consequently

    • Because

    • Furthermore

    • Instead

    Correct Answer
    A. Because
    Explanation
    The word "because" is used to introduce a cause-and-effect relationship. In this case, it explains that a vegetarian typically consumes less fat and cholesterol because their diet consists of non-meat food sources. This is because meat is often high in fat and cholesterol, while plant-based foods tend to be lower in these substances.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 
    _____, raising animals for food uses valuable land, water, and energy. - ProProfs

    _____, raising animals for food uses valuable land, water, and energy.

    • Consequently

    • Because

    • Furthermore

    • Instead

    Correct Answer
    A. Furthermore
    Explanation
    The word "Furthermore" is the correct answer because it indicates that the statement following it will provide additional information or support to the previous statement. In this case, the previous statement is likely discussing the negative impacts of raising animals for food on land, water, and energy. Therefore, the word "Furthermore" suggests that the following statement will provide further evidence or examples of these negative impacts.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 
    The chairman will be late for the meeting; meanwhile, we're to hand out minutes of the last meeting to the board members. - ProProfs

    The chairman will be late for the meeting; meanwhile, we're to hand out minutes of the last meeting to the board members.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the chairman will be late for the meeting, indicating that there is a meeting scheduled. Additionally, it states that during the chairman's absence, the task of distributing the minutes of the previous meeting will be assigned to us. Therefore, it can be inferred that the statement is true.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. And
    A. Also
    A. In addition
    Explanation
    The transitions "and," "also," and "in addition" all fit the description of adding, repeating, or emphasizing. "And" is commonly used to add information or combine ideas. "Also" is used to indicate that something is in addition to what has already been mentioned. "In addition" is a phrase that is used to introduce additional information or ideas.

    • Of course

    • So

    • Consequently

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Because
    A. So
    A. Consequently
    Explanation
    These words (because, so, consequently) are examples of transition words that indicate cause and effect relationships between ideas or events. "Because" is used to introduce the reason behind something, "so" is used to show the result or consequence of an action, and "consequently" is used to indicate the logical outcome of a previous statement or event. These words help to connect ideas and make the relationship between cause and effect clear to the reader or listener.
