Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Which linker can best connect these two sentences? The official reason for Britain’s declaration of war was the German invasion of Belgium. Britain had undertaken to guarantee Belgian neutrality.

    • Whereas

    • As

    • Although

    • Despite

    • Though

    Correct Answer
    A. As
    Explanation
    The word "As" is the best linker to connect these two sentences because it indicates a cause-and-effect relationship between them. The first sentence states the reason for Britain's declaration of war, and the second sentence explains that Britain had guaranteed Belgian neutrality. Using "As" implies that the German invasion of Belgium is the cause or reason for Britain's guarantee of Belgian neutrality.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which linker could replace the linker underlined in the text below? Although the British government had no formal alliance with France, it considered it an honor to go to war on France’s behalf.

    • Yet

    • However

    • Therefore

    • Despite the fact that

    Correct Answer
    A. Despite the fact that
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Despite the fact that." This linker is appropriate in this context because it introduces a contrasting clause that acknowledges the absence of a formal alliance between the British government and France, but still emphasizes the sense of obligation to go to war on France’s behalf.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which linker can best connect the two sentences below? Britain’s first experience of total war inevitably meant the extension of government powers. This was a gradual process, and not immediate as in the Second World War.

    • So

    • Therefore

    • However

    • Moreover

    Correct Answer
    A. However
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "However". This linker is appropriate because it introduces a contrast or contradiction between the two sentences. The first sentence suggests that Britain's first experience of total war led to the extension of government powers, implying a direct and immediate connection. However, the second sentence contradicts this by stating that the process was gradual and not immediate, indicating a different outcome than what might be expected.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the function of the linker underlined in the sentences below? Overall, the impact of the First World War was complex and contradictory. It is therefore essential to permit a variety of interpretations.

    • To add information

    • To add emphasis

    • To introduce a consequence

    • To introduce a contrast

    Correct Answer
    A. To introduce a consequence
    Explanation
    The linker underlined in the sentences is used to introduce a consequence. The sentence states that the impact of the First World War was complex and contradictory, and as a consequence, it is essential to allow for a variety of interpretations. The linker connects the cause (the impact of the war) with the effect (the need for different interpretations), indicating a cause and effect relationship.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the function of the linker underlined in the sentences below? The extraordinary career of Lloyd George can be seen as an effect of World War I.  There were, nonetheless, long-term political reasons.

    • To add information

    • To add emphasis

    • To introduce a consequence

    • To introduce a contrast

    Correct Answer
    A. To introduce a contrast
    Explanation
    The function of the linker underlined in the sentences is to introduce a contrast. It is used to highlight the difference between the extraordinary career of Lloyd George being seen as an effect of World War I and the long-term political reasons. The linker helps to emphasize the distinction between these two ideas.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Choose a synonym for the linker underlined in the sentences below. The decline of the Liberal Party is one of the great changes of the period. In fact, the facts and figures are dramatic.

    • Furthermore

    • Despite

    • However

    • In Truth

    Correct Answer
    A. In Truth
    Explanation
    The word "in truth" is the correct synonym for the linker underlined in the sentences. It is used to emphasize or confirm a statement, which is appropriate in this context as it emphasizes the significance of the decline of the Liberal Party and confirms the dramatic nature of the facts and figures.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What linker can best connect the sentences below? The first World War was, in some instances, an impetus for change. The first world war contributed directly to the expansion of the female workforce.

    • Furthermore

    • For instance

    • While

    • Also

    Correct Answer
    A. For instance
    Explanation
    The correct answer "For instance" is the best linker to connect the sentences because it introduces an example that supports the statement made in the first sentence. It suggests that the first World War was an impetus for change by providing a specific example of how it directly contributed to the expansion of the female workforce.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Choose a synonym for the linker underlined in the sentence below. The argument that the Liberal demise was inevitable by 1914 is suspect, yet the transformation of the electoral system no doubt increased its likelihood.

    • Furthermore

    • Despite

    • However

    • Indeed

    Correct Answer
    A. However
    Explanation
    The word "however" is a synonym for the linker underlined in the sentence. It is used to indicate a contrast or contradiction between the two clauses. In this case, it suggests that despite the suspicion surrounding the argument, the transformation of the electoral system did increase the likelihood of the Liberal demise.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Choose a synonym for the word underlined below: People were rising against the King's tyranny

    • Dictatorship

    • Power

    • Madness

    • Cruelty

    Correct Answer
    A. Dictatorship
    Explanation
    The word "tyranny" refers to the oppressive and cruel rule of a leader, often associated with a lack of freedom and human rights. "Dictatorship" is a suitable synonym for "tyranny" as it also implies an autocratic rule where power is concentrated in the hands of a single ruler, who exercises control without any legal constraints or democratic processes.
