The correct answer is D (?). ​

The punctuation in answer D is a question mark, which is used to end a question.

The given sentence is a question because it begins with the word "what," a question word, followed by the verb "is."

Therefore, the sentence should end with a question mark.

Answer A uses an exclamation mark, meant to express strong feelings or emphasis, making it incorrect.

Answer B uses a period, which is used to end declarative sentences, so it is incorrect.

Answer C uses a comma, which is used to separate different parts of a sentence, making it incorrect.

The correct answer is B (17).

This sequence follows a rule where each number is 2 more than the previous one. To find the next number, add 2 to the last number, which is 15. Therefore, 15 + 2 = 17. So, the next number in the sequence is 20.

The correct answer is A (There are three boys, five girls, and seven students sitting at their desks).

The total number of students is 15. This number has a one in the tens digit and a five in the ones digit. Therefore, there are three boys (tens digit) and five girls (ones digit). Subtracting these from the total gives us:

15 - 3 (boys) - 5 (girls) = 7 students sitting at their desks.

Therefore, the distribution is three boys, five girls, and seven students sitting at their desks.

The correct answer is A (A Day at the Park).

The best title for this passage should capture the central idea that reflects the overall events described. The passage depicts a day spent at the park, including a picnic, flying a kite, and playing games. The title "A Day at the Park" encapsulates these activities and the setting of the story.

Answer (B) "Flying Kites" is too specific and does not encompass all the activities mentioned in the passage.
Answer (C) "Picnic Adventures" is somewhat close, but it does not fully convey the entirety of the day's activities beyond the picnic.
Answer (D) "Sarah and Emily" focuses only on the names of two characters and does not encompass the broader events of the passage.
Therefore, the most suitable title that summarizes the passage is (A) "A Day at the Park".

The correct answer is B (0.28).

Remember the place value positions for decimals. Following the decimal point, the first position is tenths, the second is hundredths, and the third is thousandths. For example, decimals like 0.2, 0.7, and 0.1 only have numbers in the tenths column.

Decimals such as 0.14, 0.57, and 0.99 have numbers up to the hundredths column, following fractions out of 100.

In this grid, there are 100 squares in total, with 28 squares shaded. Therefore, the shaded region can be represented as a fraction: 28/100, which simplifies to 0.28 as a decimal. This decimal extends up to the hundredths place, illustrating the fraction 28 ÷ 100.

The correct answer is A (with careful accuracy).

The word "precision" means with careful accuracy. In the paragraph, Mark's friends execute their plan "with precision", meaning they are performing their tasks carefully and accurately. They move swiftly but with attention to detail, using silent communication to ensure their actions are coordinated and unnoticed.

Answer (B) is incorrect because while Mark's friends move swiftly, the emphasis is on accuracy rather than speed alone.

Answer (C) is incorrect because the paragraph describes their actions as well-planned and coordinated, indicating preparation rather than lack of it.

Answer (D) is incorrect because the paragraph mentions they communicate silently, indicating they are not making loud noises.

Therefore, the correct answer is (A), as "precision" in this context means with careful accuracy.

The correct answer is A (car).

Answer (A) is correct because the adjective "faster" modifies the noun "car." You can figure this out by asking "What is faster?" It is the car that is faster.

Answer (B) is incorrect because the adjective "faster" does not modify the verb "is." An adjective can only modify a noun or pronoun, not a verb.

Answer (C) is incorrect because the adjective "faster" does not modify the word "much." Instead, "much" is an adverb that modifies the adjective "faster," indicating the degree to which the car is faster.

Answer (D) is incorrect because the adjective "faster" does not modify the conjunction "than." The conjunction is used to make the comparison, but it is not being described by the adjective "faster."

The correct answer is D (Development of Mr. Darcy’s feelings).

A plot point is something that happens in the story. Dialogue refers to the words spoken between two characters. Plot points are advanced by dialogue when the reader is informed that these things happened, not by a narrator saying that they did, but from the conversations that the characters have. The reader learns about Mr. Darcy’s feelings when he says to Elizabeth, “My principal object is to see you and to judge, if I can, whether I might ever be capable of loving you.” In other words, the plot point of Mr. Darcy revealing his feelings is advanced by the reader reading what Mr. Darcy said to Elizabeth, not by a narrator saying that Mr. Darcy has feelings for Elizabeth.

A is incorrect because the narrator tells us that Mr. Bennet visits Mr. Bingley; we do not learn this from dialogue.

B is incorrect because Elizabeth trimming a hat is described by the narrator, not through dialogue.

C is incorrect because while Mrs. Bennet criticizes Mrs. Long, this does not significantly advance the plot. The key plot advancement is Mr. Darcy’s revelation of his feelings, which is crucial to the story’s development.
