  1. What does the prefix 'mis-' mean in the word 'misunderstand'?

    Answer: Wrongly

    The prefix 'mis-' means wrongly or incorrectly. 'Misunderstand' means to understand something incorrectly.

  2. Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

    Answer: Running fast, the bus was caught.

    In 'Running fast, the bus was caught', the modifier 'running fast' appears to describe the bus, which cannot run. This is a dangling modifier error.

  3. Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'The scientist made a ___ discovery that changed medicine forever.'

    Answer: groundbreaking

    'Groundbreaking' means innovative or pioneering. If the discovery changed medicine forever, it must be significant and unprecedented — groundbreaking.

  4. Which reading strategy involves previewing headings before reading?

    Answer: Skimming

    Skimming involves quickly reading through a text to get the general idea, often by reading headings, subheadings, and the first sentences of paragraphs.

  5. Identify the correct use of a semicolon.

    Answer: I like coffee; I dislike tea.

    A semicolon connects two independent clauses that are related in thought. 'I like coffee; I dislike tea' correctly joins two complete sentences.

  6. What is an inference in reading comprehension?

    Answer: A conclusion drawn from clues in the text

    An inference is a logical conclusion drawn from evidence in the text, even when the information is not stated explicitly. Readers use context clues to infer meaning.
