22.) Every college in America is looking for leaders. Students who can claim that they have been through leadership academies or

leadership training are given special attention for those lines upon their resumes. But what is leadership? How does one learn about it? Indeed, can leadership truly be “learned” at all, or is it something you are born with? The overemphasis upon every student being a leader needs to be critically examined. After all, if everyone is trained to be a leader, then who, I ask you, is doing the following? How is it even possible for everyone to lead?
Which sentence would be the BEST introductory sentence for this paragraph?
A) Colleges are harder to get into in America today than they ever have been in the past.
B) I have a real problem with some of the things that students do to get attention these days.
C) One of the most common buzzwords you hear today in college applications is the word “leadership.”
D) One of the most stressful parts of a student's high school experience is going through the college application process.

26.) 7) During her lifetime, she published only seven of her poems, and she published those anonymously.
Look at the portion of the passage number (7). In an effort to make the passage more concise, which would be the BEST revision of the sentence?


During her lifetime, she published only seven of her poems, and she published those anonymously.
A) She published only seven anonymous poems during her lifetime.
B) During her anonymous lifetime, she published only seven of her poems.
C) During her lifetime, she anonymously published only seven of her poems.
D) During her lifetime, she published only seven of her poems anonymously.

32.) Which sentence is written correctly?
A) The author was asked to write an after-word for the twentieth anniversary of his book.
B) Our offensive line needs more co-ordination on the football field.
C) Would you please re-wind this old video cassette?
D) She was a non-native speaker of Spanish, but she did pretty well in the interview.

36.)
In 2004, President George W. Bush called for the nation to eliminate paper medical records without delay, within a decade. Four years later, the nation’s physicians and hospitals have made little progress toward that goal.

A 1999 study by the Institute of Medicine found that 98,000 people die from medical errors every year in American hospitals. That accounts for four percent of all reported deaths in the United States.

Since that study’s release, subsequent reports have exposed a systematic lack of attention to medical errors. They also found an imbalance in appropriate medical care across the nation. According to a RAND Corporation study, Americans only receive recommended care from their physicians about half of the time. Reports also note that another 126,000 people die annually because of their physicians’ failure to follow protocols.
What would be the result of the writer deleting the phrase "within a decade" from the first sentence?
A) Readers would not know what Bush means by "without delay."
B) The phrase is unnecessary and deleting it would eliminate wordiness.
C) Without the phrase, readers would know that the goal had already been achieved.
D) Readers would understand the timeless importance of electronic medical records.

Answer:

22) C - as the passage emphasizes the role of leadership.

27) C - (It is not D or B because these two imply that She might published more than 7 poems, but there were 7 published anonymously while the others were not; the answer A is obviously wrong)

32) B (D - should be "She is non-native speaker; C - should be "re-winded";

36) B - (the phrase indicated that the replacement with electronic records should have been done quickly only, so not related to what the other answers imply)

In at least 100 words, describe a coming-of-age story that you have read and explain why it can be described in those terms.
Igoryamba
I have read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. This story is a fictional story about a young man who was drafted for the Vietnam war in his first years of college. This book describes the coming of age of multiple characters in its portrayal of each character individualistically. It shows how fast each of these young men had to grow up after joining the war and the difficulties they faced. It is easy to forget how young these guys are because of the things they say or the actions they must take. There are many moments in the book that make you stop and go "Hey wait. These are just kids," and it really shows the maturing process and the stresses of war in addition to suddenly being thrust into adulthood.

At the end of the play, the prince says, “Some shall be pardoned and some shall be punished” for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
malfutka [58]
One of the people i think is responsible for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Friar Lawrence. I think he is responsible for their deaths is because when Juliet came to him for a plan he though up a half full plan that wasn't fool proof. Another Reason I think he is responsible is that if his messenger got there in time Romeo would have known about the plan. But instead his messenger got caught up in a plague and disease. So he couldn't make it in time to tell Romeo of the plan. My last reason why I think Friar Lawrence is responsible because if he was there at the tomb in time he could have stopped Romeo from killing himself. And he shouldn't have left the tomb so Juliet could have the chance to kill herself.
