Read the following sentence:
He made a small contribution to the local charity.
Which synonym for the underlined word would most clearly make this
sentence a criticism of the contribution?
A. Decent
B. Humble
C. Modest
D. Minimal
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The synonym for the underlined word that would most clearly make this sentence a criticism of the contribution is "Minimal." Hence, option D is correct.
What are synonyms?Synonyms are words that have the same or similar meanings as another word in a language. For example, "happy" and "joyful" are synonyms because they both convey a positive feeling or emotion.
The word "minimal" implies that the contribution was not enough, or that it was too small to have a significant impact. Using this word in the sentence would suggest that the contribution made by the person was not sufficient and may be considered a criticism.
On the other hand, words like "decent," "humble," or "modest" do not carry the same negative connotation as "minimal."
These words do not necessarily suggest that the contribution was not enough, but rather that it was appropriate or respectful given the circumstances. Therefore, they would not make the sentence a criticism of the contribution.

Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty. And if this be rightly considered, he will be seen to have been much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid a reputation for cruelty, permitted Pistoia to be destroyed.

Which sentence best shows the resolution of the passage? Jessica was in class, but she was bored and sleepy. Suddenly, she heard a noise outside the classroom door. She heard it again and realized that she was the only one who could hear it. As she walked to the door, she realized something even more astonishing. No one in the classroom could see her. She had become invisible! Jessica nervously opened the door and stepped outside. To her horror, she found herself on a battlefield with thousands of men in red and blue coats fighting one another. Terrified, she turned back to the classroom door but couldn’t find it. Knowing that she was trapped in this strange war made her hands and feet go cold and her heart begin to pound. Out of nowhere, an unmanned horse began running toward her. Jessica tried to flee, but the horse was fast and caught up to her. She screamed as the horse’s hooves descended upon her. Then everything went dark. Jessica woke up to realize that she was still in her classroom and that she’d been dreaming all along. The dream had been about the American Civil War, which her teacher had been discussing in class. Jessica was extremely relieved to be safe in class. She would much rather learn about a war than be a part of one.

Which sentence option correctly uses a colon
Answer:
A. When Ariana goes shopping, there is only one thing to do: plan to spend the whole day at the mall.
Explanation:
Use a colon to introduce an item or a series of items. Do not capitalize the first item after the colon (unless it's a proper noun). A capital letter generally does not introduce a word, phrase, or incomplete sentence following a colon. Avoid using a colon before a list if it directly follows a verb or preposition that would ordinarily need no punctuation in that sentence. When listing items one by one, one per line, following a colon, capitalization and ending punctuation are optional when using single words or phrases preceded by letters, numbers, or bullet points. If each point is a complete sentence, capitalize the first word and end the sentence with appropriate ending punctuation. Otherwise, there are no hard and fast rules, except be consistent. A colon instead of a semicolon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence explains, illustrates, paraphrases, or expands on the first sentence. Capitalize the first word of a complete or full-sentence quotation that follows a colon. The colon lists what needs to be done. Basically, the sentence is stating that when Ariana goes shopping, the only thing to do is: spend the whole day in the mall. Do you understand what a colon is? A colon is a punctuation mark (:) used to precede a list of items, a quotation, or an expansion or explanation. A colon used in various technical and formulaic contexts, for example a statement of proportion between two numbers, or to separate hours from minutes (and minutes from seconds) in a numerical statement of time.
