The correct answer is (B).

Recall the place value columns for decimals. The first column after the decimal point is tenths, the second one hundredths, and the third thousandths. This means, if you have a fraction out of 10, you should have a decimal with numbers only in the tenths column, e.g. 0.2, 0.7, 0.1, etc.

If you have a fraction out of 100, you should have a decimal with numbers up to the hundredths column only, e.g. 0.14, 0.57, 0.99, etc.

This grid has 100 squares. There are 28 shaded squares. Therefore, the shaded region can be written as a fraction: 28/100. This means 28 ÷ 100. When dividing by 100, move the decimal place two places to the left. Therefore 28.00 becomes 0.28. Thus, it is a decimal with numbers up to the hundredth place.

The correct answer is (D).

To subtract fractions, you must create the same denominator for both fractions. Look at the multiplication tables for eight and six to find a suitable multiple that is common to both:

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48 …..
8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 …

You can see that 24 and 48 are both multiples of eight and six. There are many more, but it is easier to use the smallest possible number. This is called the least common denominator. Thus, choose 24 as the common denominator of both fractions.

To change 7/8, multiply the denominator by three to change eight into 24. To keep the fraction equivalent, you must also do the same to the numerator.

7/8 x 3/3 = 21/24

To change 1/6, multiply the denominator by four, to change six into 24. You must do the same to the numerator.

1/6 x 4/4 = 4/24
Now that both fractions have a common denominator, you can subtract the numerators. You never add or subtract denominators in fractions questions.

21/24 -4/24= 17/24 

Therefore, the correct answer is (D).

Therefore, the correct answer is (D).

The correct answers are (360 minutes), and (21,600 seconds).
 
To find the correct answers, you need to change 6 hours into measurements of minutes or seconds to match the answer choices.
There are 60 minutes in an hour so to convert hours to minutes you must multiply by 60.
6 hours × 60 = 360 minutes

There are also 60 seconds in a minute so to convert minutes to seconds you must multiply by 60 again.
360 minutes × 60 = 21600 seconds
 
Therefore, the correct answers are (360 minutes) and (21,600 seconds).

The correct answer is (C).

The third person omniscient point of view is a method in which the narrator knows the thoughts of every character in the story and everything that happens to every character, including things that other characters are not aware of. The narrator in the passage tells about Anne's feelings ("Anne's cup of happiness was full"), but also tells about events that take place when she is not around (Marilla's words to Matthew). Therefore, the point of view is third person omniscient and the correct answer is (C).

Answer (A) is incorrect because, when the first person is used, the story is told from one character's point of view using words such as "I," "me," "myself" etc. The reader only knows about this character's thoughts and feelings and only know things this character knows. It is not what happens in the passage.

Answer (B) is incorrect because, when the second person is used, the story is told to someone, using words such as "you" and "yourself." It is not used in the passage.

Answer (D) is incorrect because the third person limited point of view adheres to the perspective of one character, so the reader is only aware of what this character is aware of, unlike the third person omniscient, which gives the perspectives of more than one character. Since the passage gives both Anne's and Marilla's perspectives, it is not limited to one character.

The correct answer is (D).

Notice the word not at the end of the instruction. This means that it is recommended to approach this question by eliminating the incorrect answer choices. In general, when facing a question that instructs you to locate information in the text, consider eliminating answer choices in order to choose the correct answer.

Answers (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect because the passage states that the Galápagos Islands are a province of Ecuador, a national park of Ecuador, and a World Heritage Site.

Though answer (D) might also be a correct statement regarding the Galápagos Islands, especially considering they are a world Heritage Site, it is not stated anywhere in the passage. The question is prefaced with "according to the passage," so even though this statement makes sense and may very well be true, the passage never tells us this, so it is the correct answer. 

The correct answer is (C).

The closest word in meaning to "fallacy" is "misconception." Even if you do not know this word, you can understand its meaning from the paragraph: the parent who talks to the reporters about the intention to close the youth center probably wants to speak against it, because he is trying to raise money to prevent it from happening. When he speaks about the idea that the youth center does not benefit youngsters, he probably wants to say it is a false belief. The answer closest in meaning to this is answer (C), "misconception," which is a false belief, or fallacy.

The correct answer is (D).

When addressing someone (or multiple people) directly in writing, whether by name or by title, commas are used to indicate the one being addressed. If the name appears at the beginning of the statement directed at that person, the comma appears after the person's name. If the name appears at the end, the comma appears before the name. If the name is in the middle of the sentence, separating what is being said to that person, a comma is placed both before and after the name.
The only sentence that follows these rules correctly is in answer (D). Therefore, the correct answer is (D).

Answer (A) is incorrect because there should be a comma after the compound noun "ladies and gentlemen" as it is a direct address of multiple people, using the title of "ladies and gentlemen."

Answer (B) is incorrect because there should be a comma before the word "Sir" as it is a direct address to the person being called "Sir."  There should not be a comma after the word "nice."

Answer (C) is incorrect because there should be a comma after the name "Rachel," as it is a direct address.

The correct answer is (C).

When a verb is active, the subject of the sentence performs the action.
For example: I took my dog for a walk outside.
In this example, "I" is the subject and it performs the action of taking the dog for a walk.
When a verb is passive, the subject of the sentence does not perform the action, but rather, the action is performed upon the subject.
For example: The dog was taken by me for a walk outside.
In this example, "The dog" is the subject, but the action of "taking" is not performed by it, but rather by the object "me."

In the sentence above, "visited" is an active verb as the subject, "my friends and I," performs the action of visiting.

Answer (A) is incorrect as the subject "paintings" does not perform the action of drawing. The action of drawing those paintings is performed by the "famous Italian artist."

Answers (B) and (D) are incorrect as "tired" and "famous" are adjectives, not verbs.

The correct answer is (C).

A compound sentence has two independent clauses or sentences. The independent clauses can be joined by a conjunction (such as "and," "for," and "but") and a comma or by a semicolon. An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and verb and forms a complete thought.
For example, "He read a book, and I watched TV."
Some simple sentences have a compound subject or a compound predicate, but they are not compound sentences.
The only compound sentence is in answer (C). It is made up of two simple sentences joined by a comma and the conjunction so. Therefore, the correct answer is (C).

Answer (A) is incorrect as it is a simple sentence with a compound subject (Dana and Ron).

Answer (B) is incorrect as it is a simple sentence with a compound verb (applauded and cheered).

Answer (D) is incorrect as it is a simple sentence with an introductory phrase (during the production of the film). The part "during the production of the film" does not form a complete thought by itself, so it is not an indepentent clause. 

The correct answer is (D).

When information in a passage is organized by the order in which it occurs or by following a particular order, it is called sequential order. Words commonly used in texts that are organized in a sequential order are first, next, the, then, lastly, before, etc. The most common sequences you will find are stories or series of events that are described as happening one ofter the other, However, instructions for a series of tasks to perform one after the other certainly applies as well. In this specific text, you are given clear steps that are needed to be followed in order to become a scientist, thus this text is organized as a certain order and is a sequential text.

Answer (A) is incorrect as compare and contrast is a pattern of organization where the similarities and differences of two or more things are explored. Nothing is being compared in this paragraph.

Answer (B) is incorrect as in order of importance, the ideas or steps are put in order from the most important to the least important. It is not the case in this paragraph as all of the steps have the same importance. Answer (C) is incorrect as cause and effect explains how one thing leads or led to another, exploring the reason something happened or what can make something happen, or else the outcome or consequences of of the topic at hand. This paragraph does not describe how each step causes the next, but rather how one needs to be done first and then the next.
