Math Writing Questions Test 1

Question 1

Which choice best maintains the sentence pattern already established in the paragraph?

Accepted Answer

Stoplight timing is coordinated to alleviate rush hour traffic jams in a congested downtown area.

Answer

This choice best maintains the sentence pattern by using a clear and concise passive voice construction, 'Stoplight timing is coordinated.' This structure likely aligns with other sentences in the paragraph that describe processes or functions in a general, objective manner. It avoids the more active or wordy phrasing of the other options, ensuring consistency in style and tone.

Question 2

Which choice best maintains the sentence pattern already established in the paragraph?

Accepted Answer

occurs, it is

Answer

This choice correctly uses singular subject-verb agreement ('occurs' for a singular subject like 'occurrence' or implied singular event) and singular pronoun agreement ('it is' referring back to the singular subject). This ensures grammatical accuracy and maintains consistency with a sentence pattern that likely requires precise agreement between subjects, verbs, and pronouns.

Question 3

Which choice best maintains the sentence pattern already established in the paragraph?

Accepted Answer

designing

Answer

The choice 'designing' best maintains the sentence pattern, likely by creating parallelism within a list or series of actions. If other items in the sentence or paragraph use gerunds (verb forms ending in -ing that function as nouns), then 'designing' would match that structure. This ensures grammatical consistency and improves the flow of the sentence.

Question 4

Which choice best maintains the sentence pattern already established in the paragraph?

Accepted Answer

NO CHANGE

Answer

The choice 'NO CHANGE' is correct because the original underlined portion is relevant and contributes meaningfully to the sentence and paragraph. It likely provides necessary context or detail without being redundant or distracting. Deleting it or replacing it with other options would either remove important information or introduce less suitable phrasing.

Question 5

Which choice best maintains the sentence pattern already established in the paragraph?

Accepted Answer

planner’s job

Answer

The correct choice 'planner’s job' uses the apostrophe correctly to indicate singular possession. The job belongs to one planner, so the apostrophe comes before the 's.' This maintains grammatical accuracy and clarity within the sentence pattern established in the paragraph.
