A) Coherence and Cohesion.
B) Paragraphing.
C) Organization.
D) Writing Mechanics.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Paragraphing is a technique used to organize text, but it is not an inherent property of well-written text in the same way that coherence and cohesion, organization, and writing mechanics are. Coherence refers to the logical flow between ideas, cohesion involves the use of linking devices, organization ensures a structured approach, and writing mechanics cover grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Coherence and Cohesion - These properties ensure that ideas are logically connected and smoothly transitioned within a text.
Option B:
Paragraphing - This is a technique for organizing content, not an inherent property of well-written text.
Option C:
Organization - This ensures the text has a clear structure and logical flow.
Option D:
Writing Mechanics - These include grammar, punctuation, and spelling, which are crucial for clarity and correctness in writing.

Explanations:
Organization concerns the structure and arrangement of parts in a text, specifically how the introduction, body, and conclusion are presented to ensure clarity and logical flow.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Coherence refers to the smoothness and clarity of the text as a whole. It does not directly address the structure of parts.
Option B:
Language Use involves vocabulary, grammar, and style choices. It is not about the organization of text parts.
Option C:
Mechanics covers spelling, punctuation, and other grammatical aspects. This does not relate to the arrangement of text parts.
Option D:
Organization correctly addresses how the introduction, body, and conclusion are structured and arranged for a well-written text.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Location - Incorrect as location is not typically provided after the full name.
Option B:
Address - Incorrect as address is not usually included after the full name in academic writing.
Option C:
Abbreviation - Correct, as abbreviations are commonly used to refer back to institutions or organizations.
Option D:
Founder - Incorrect as the founder's information is not typically provided after the institution's full name.
5.
These are words used in replace of a noun.
A) Paragraph.
B) Past Tense.
C) Pronoun.

Show Answer
Explanations:
Pronouns are words used in place of nouns to avoid repetition and make the text flow smoothly. They help maintain clarity and readability by substituting names, places, things, or ideas that have already been mentioned or can be inferred from context.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Paragraphs are groups of sentences that discuss a single idea. Not related to replacing nouns.
Option B:
Past tense refers to verbs in the past time frame. Not relevant here.
Option C:
Correct. Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition and improve text flow.
Option D:
Present tense is used for actions happening now or generally true statements. Irrelevant to this context.
6.
Which property involves arranging ideas in a recognizable structure?
A) Cohesion.
B) Coherence.
C) Organization.
D) Unity.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Organization involves arranging ideas in a recognizable structure, ensuring that the text flows logically and is easy to follow. This property helps readers understand the relationships between different parts of the text.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Cohesion refers to the internal consistency and logical flow within sentences and paragraphs but does not specifically address the arrangement of ideas.
Option B:
Coherence is about the overall clarity and logical connection between different parts of a text, but it focuses more on the content rather than the structure.
Option C:
Organization is correct as it directly involves arranging ideas in a recognizable structure to ensure a clear and logical flow.
Option D:
Unity refers to the overall focus of a text, ensuring that all parts contribute to a single central idea. It does not specifically address the arrangement of ideas.
7.

A) 15.
B) 25.
C) 20.
D) 10.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The claimed correct answer is C) 20 because the text focuses on evaluating the use of appropriate tone, style, and level of formality in a piece of writing. This assessment typically involves analyzing how well these elements contribute to the overall quality and effectiveness of the text. A score of 20 points reflects a balanced approach that adequately covers these aspects without being overly simplistic or complex.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Too low; it does not reflect the comprehensive nature of evaluating tone, style, and formality.
Option B:
Excessive; it overestimates the importance of these elements in a single score.
Option C:
Correct; it appropriately balances the evaluation criteria within a reasonable point range.
Option D:
Too low; similar to Option A, it does not adequately cover the complexity of the task.
8.
These are examples of cohesive devices EXCEPT for one. Which is the exemption?
A) Repetition of ideas.
B) Pronouns.
C) Transitional devices.
D) Adverbs.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Cohesive devices are words, phrases, or clauses that help connect parts of a text to make it coherent and easier to understand. Repetition of ideas (A), pronouns (B), and transitional devices (C) all serve this purpose by linking sentences and maintaining flow within the text.
Adverbs (D), however, do not necessarily function as cohesive devices. While some adverbs can indicate sequence or contrast, their primary role is to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing more detail about actions, states, or qualities.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Repetition of ideas helps maintain coherence by reiterating key points.
Option B:
Pronouns replace nouns and help connect sentences logically.
Option C:
Transitional devices introduce words or phrases that signal the relationship between sentences, enhancing cohesion.
Option D:
Adverbs primarily modify other words and do not inherently serve as cohesive devices.
9.
What is the error in the sentence, "You make me feel like an dangerous woman" ?
A) You.
B) An.
C) Feel.
D) Make.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The article "an" is incorrectly used before the word "dangerous." In English, when describing a person with an adjective that starts with a vowel sound (in this case, "d"), the correct article to use is "a," not "an."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The subject pronoun "You" is correctly used.
Option B:
Correct. Using "a" instead of "an" before "dangerous woman" would be grammatically correct because "d" is pronounced as a consonant sound in this context.
Option C:
Incorrect. The verb "feel" is correctly used.
Option D:
Incorrect. The verb "make" is correctly used.
10.
Unlike the opaque glass, the window was clear and easy to see through.What does opaque mean?
A) Shiny.
B) Transparent.
C) Fragile.
D) Not see-through.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Opaque means not see-through, which directly corresponds to option D. The sentence contrasts opaque glass with a clear window that is easy to see through, emphasizing the non-transparency of opaque materials.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Shiny - This describes how something looks when it reflects light but does not relate to transparency or lack thereof.
Option B:
Transparent - This is the opposite of opaque, meaning able to see through. It fits the description given for the window in the sentence.
Option C:
Fragile - This refers to how easily something can break but does not describe its transparency or lack thereof.
Option D:
Not see-through - This accurately describes opaque materials, which do not allow light to pass through them and thus cannot be seen through clearly.
11.
Having cold feet means what?
A) Proud.
B) Shy.
C) Timid.
D) Nervous.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The phrase "having cold feet" is an idiom that means feeling nervous, especially before a significant event such as a wedding or public speaking. It does not refer to being proud (A), shy (B), or timid (C).
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Proud - This term refers to a sense of honor and satisfaction in one's achievements, which is unrelated to the feeling of nervousness.
Option B:
Shy - While shyness can cause nervousness, "having cold feet" specifically denotes nervousness before an important event or situation.
Option C:
Timid - Similar to shy, this term describes a lack of confidence and fear of social situations but does not capture the specific feeling of nervousness related to significant events.
Option D:
Nervous - This is correct as it accurately describes the feeling associated with "having cold feet," which refers to nervousness before important occasions or events.
12.

A) Mechanics.
B) Coherence.
C) Cohesion.
D) Language Use.
E) Organization.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Cohesion refers to the use of lexical and grammatical structures that link ideas within a text, ensuring a smooth flow of information. This is achieved through techniques such as pronoun references, conjunctions, and other linking devices that help maintain coherence.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Mechanics refers to the correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Option B:
Coherence is about the logical flow and clarity of ideas within a text. While related, it focuses more on the overall structure and meaning rather than specific linking devices.
Option C:
Correct - Cohesion involves the use of lexical and grammatical structures to ensure smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs.
Option D:
Language Use encompasses a broader range, including vocabulary choice and style. While important, it is not specifically about linking ideas.
Option E:
Organization refers to the arrangement of ideas in a logical order, which is more about structure than specific linguistic devices used for smooth transitions.
13.
What is the purpose of using familiar language in writing?
A) To make the writing abstract.
B) To confuse the reader.
C) To make the writing easily understood.
D) To make the writing lengthy.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Using familiar language in writing makes the text easily understood by the reader, enhancing comprehension and engagement. This approach ensures that complex ideas are conveyed in a way that is accessible to the intended audience, thereby facilitating better communication.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Making the writing abstract does not align with the purpose of using familiar language as it would make the text harder to understand.
Option B:
Confusing the reader is contrary to the goal of clear communication, which is achieved through the use of familiar language.
Option C:
Correct. Familiar language simplifies complex ideas and makes the writing easily understood by a broader audience.
Option D:
Making the writing lengthy is not a purpose of using familiar language; it can actually help in making the text concise and clear.
14.
What needs to be added in the sentence to make it coherent?
A) Spelling.

Explanations:
Transitional expressions help connect ideas within a sentence, making the text flow more smoothly and coherently. They are essential for guiding the reader through the logical progression of thoughts in a paragraph or essay.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Spelling errors might make a text confusing but do not directly address the smooth transition between ideas.
Option B:
Grammar issues can affect clarity, but they are more about correct sentence structure rather than linking thoughts together.
Option C:
Punctuation is important for readability and understanding, but it does not specifically aid in connecting ideas within a sentence.
Option D:
Transitional expressions directly address the need to add words or phrases that help link sentences and paragraphs smoothly, enhancing coherence.

In an academic text, contractions are of importance.
A) TRUE.
B) FALSE.
C) All the above.

B) Mechanics.
C) Coherence.
D) Language use.
E) Organization.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The claimed correct answer is D) Language use. This question focuses on the appropriateness and correctness of language in a sentence. The phrase "I dig this book; i wanna buy it!" uses informal, colloquial language ("dig," "i") which may not be suitable for all contexts or formal writing.

Option A:
Cohesion refers to the logical flow and connection between ideas. This is not relevant here.
Option B:
Mechanics covers grammar, punctuation, and spelling. While these are important, they do not directly address the language choice in this sentence.
Option C:
Coherence relates to how well the text conveys its message as a whole. This is more about overall structure than individual word choices.
Option D:
Language use correctly identifies that the informal nature of the language ("dig," "i") could be considered inappropriate in certain contexts, making it the most relevant choice here.
Option E:
Organization pertains to how elements are arranged within a text. This is not applicable to this specific question about word choice and formality.
20.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Ms. and Mr. are honorifics or titles that precede names, not post-nominals.
Option B:
Same as Option A; Mr. is an honorific title preceding the name.
Option C:
Dr. can be used both pre- and post-nominally but when used post-nominally, it indicates a doctorate degree, making
