  1. What is the difference between a simile and a metaphor?

    Answer: A simile uses 'like' or 'as'; a metaphor states a comparison directly

    A simile compares two things using 'like' or 'as,' while a metaphor makes the comparison without those connecting words.

  2. Which sentence contains a grammatical error?

    Answer: Him and me played basketball.

    'Him and me' should be 'He and I' because they are subjects of the verb 'played.'

  3. What is the role of a concluding sentence in a paragraph?

    Answer: To restate and wrap up the paragraph's main idea

    A concluding sentence summarizes the paragraph and signals to the reader that the idea is complete.

  4. On the OAA, which signal word indicates contrast between two ideas?

    Answer: However

    'However' is a transitional word that signals a shift or contrast between two ideas.

  5. Which of the following is an example of a compound sentence?

    Answer: I wanted pizza, but we ordered tacos.

    A compound sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction like 'but.'

  6. What does 'point of view' mean in a written text?

    Answer: The perspective from which the story is told

    Point of view refers to who is narrating the story — first person (I/me), third person (he/she/they), etc.
