Select the answer choice that correctly provides the missing premise: _____________.
Darlene is an automobile driver who breached the duty of care.
Darlene was negligent.

Correct! Wrong!

All motorists who fail to exercise the proper level of care are being negligent. The main premise must demonstrate a link between negligent driving and vehicle drivers who violate the duty of care in order to support the finding that Darlene was at fault.

Which sentence or paragraph in the excerpt below needs to be modified for spelling, punctuation, word choice, or length?

Correct! Wrong!

Remove the hyphen from highly intriguing. Since profoundly is an adverb that modifies absorbing, deeply is not a compound adjective. The -ly suffix makes it clear that the hyphen is not required.

Select the answer choice that correctly completes the following:
Some human beings are mortal.
Plato is a human being.

Correct! Wrong!

Perhaps Plato will die. A significant premise in the first statement is that some people are mortal, which establishes a general concept that is assumed to be true. A minor predicate in the second phrase establishes that a particular individual is a human being. However, the test-taker must understand that the primary premise is not an immutable fact before drawing a judgment. By claiming that Plato (a human person) falls within the principle stated in the major premise and that this conclusion is constrained by the same restriction as the major premise, Answer B effectively ties the major and minor premises together.

As a result, etiquette guidelines vary depending on where a person resides.

Correct! Wrong!

The initial adverb "therefore" is set off with a comma to make the phrase simpler to read or to indicate a pause. The subject and verb in the original sentence do not agree. "Differ" fits with "rules," a plural topic.

They thought that would damage American soldiers and make the South Vietnamese lose faith in their government.

Correct! Wrong!

Particularly if they are eating with their fingers, people should only eat with their right hands.

Correct! Wrong!

They are is shortened to "they're." A general possessive pronoun is "their." It effectively displays having the "proper hands."

According to a United Nations investigation from 1969, there may be significant oil deposits close to the islands in the East China Sea.

Correct! Wrong!

By combining an apostrophe with the letter s, an apostrophe can indicate a noun's possessive case. An apostrophe can be used to denote a plural noun or a noun with a s at the end. The plural version of the term should contain an apostrophe after s because the paragraph mentions many islands.
