    What are the sentences that go between your first sentence and your last sentence called?

    • Topic sentence.

    • Supporting sentences.

    • Conclusions.

    Correct Answer
    A. Supporting sentences.
    Explanation
    Supporting sentences are the sentences that provide additional information, evidence, or examples to support the main idea or topic sentence. They help to develop and expand upon the main idea and provide a logical flow to the paragraph or essay. In this case, the supporting sentences are the sentences that go between the first sentence and the last sentence, providing support and elaboration for the main idea.

    Which of the following defines descriptive writing?

    • A piece of writing that is used to describe something or someone.

    • A piece of writing that persuades someone to agree with you.

    • A piece of writing that compares something.

    Correct Answer
    A. A piece of writing that is used to describe something or someone.
    Explanation
    Descriptive writing is a type of writing that aims to provide detailed information about a specific topic, person, or object. It focuses on creating a vivid picture in the reader's mind by using sensory details, figurative language, and precise language. This type of writing does not aim to persuade or compare, but rather to paint a clear and accurate picture through words. Therefore, the correct answer is "A piece of writing that is used to describe something or someone."

    What is the first sentence of a paragraph called?

    • A body.

    • A topic sentence.

    • A conclusion.

    Correct Answer
    A. A topic sentence.
    Explanation
    The first sentence of a paragraph is called a topic sentence. This sentence introduces the main idea or topic of the paragraph and sets the tone for the rest of the paragraph. It provides a clear focus and helps the reader understand what the paragraph will be about. A topic sentence is essential for organizing and structuring a paragraph, as it guides the reader and ensures coherence and unity within the writing.

    • A word that has a similar meaning to another word.

    • A word that shows excitement or emotion.

    Correct Answer
    A. A word that has a similar meaning to another word.
    Explanation
    A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to another word. In other words, it is a word that can be used interchangeably with another word in a given context without changing the overall meaning of the sentence. Synonyms help to enhance vocabulary and provide alternative options for expressing ideas.

    What is an adjective?

    • A word that describes something.

    • A word that names a person, place or thing.

    • An action word.

    Correct Answer
    A. A word that describes something.
    Explanation
    An adjective is a word that describes or provides more information about a noun or pronoun. It adds details and characteristics to the noun it modifies. For example, in the sentence "She wore a beautiful dress," the word "beautiful" is an adjective that describes the dress. Adjectives can describe the color, size, shape, appearance, or qualities of the noun they modify. Therefore, the correct answer is "A word that describes something."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Where would you find synonyms?

    • In a dictionary.

    • In a thesaurus.

    • In an encyclopedia.

    Correct Answer
    A. In a thesaurus.
    Explanation
    A thesaurus is a reference book that provides synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) for different words. It is specifically designed to help individuals find alternative words or expressions that can be used in their writing or speech. Unlike a dictionary, which primarily focuses on defining words and providing their pronunciation and usage, a thesaurus is a valuable tool for expanding one's vocabulary and enhancing their language skills. Therefore, if someone is looking for synonyms, they would most likely find them in a thesaurus.
