DIRECTIONS: In the passage below, certain phrases are underlined and numbered <x>. The question will present alternatives for the underlined part. In most cases, you are to choose the one that best expresses the idea, makes the statement appropriate for standard written English, or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the passage as a whole. If you think the original version is the best, choose "NO CHANGE".

The Glass Castle (excerpt)

By Jeannette Walls

[§1] I never believe <1> in Santa Claus. None of us kids did. Mom and Dad refused to let us. They couldn't afford expensive presents and they didn't want us to think we weren't as good as other kids who, on Christmas morning, <2> found all sorts of fancy toys under the tree that were supposedly left by Santa Claus.

[§2] Dad had lost his job at the gypsum, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took each one of we kids <3> out into the desert night one by one.

[§3] "Pick out your favorite star", Dad said. <4>

[§4] "I like that one!" I said.

[§5] Dad grinned, "That's Venus," he said. He explained to me that planets glowed because reflected light was constant and stars twinkled because their light pulsed.

[§6] "I like it anyway" I said. <5>

[§7] "What the hell," Dad said. "It's Christmas. You can have a planet if you want."

[§8] And he gave me Venus.

[§9] Venus didn't have any moons or satellites or even a magnetic field, but it did have an atmosphere sort of similar to Earth's, except it was super-hot ­ about 500 degrees or more. <6> "So," Dad said, "when the sun starts to burn out and earth <7> turns cold, everyone might want to move to Venus to get warm. And they'll have to get permission from your descendants first." <8>

[§10] We laughed about all the kids who believed in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys. <9>

[§11] "Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten," Dad said, "you'll still have your stars." <10>

<6>:

  1. NO CHANGE
  2. Venus didn't have any moons or satellites or even a magnetic field but it did have an atmosphere sort of similar to Earth's except it was super-hot about 500 degrees or more.
  3. Venus didn't have any moons, or satellites, or even a magnetic field, but it did have an atmosphere, sort of similar to Earth's, except it was super-hot, about 500 degrees or more.
  4. Venus didn't have any moons or satellites or even a magnetic field, but it did have an atmosphere sort of similar to earth's, except it was super-hot ­ about 500 degrees or more.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A is correct. The sentence is written correctly in the passage.
B removes all commas thus making it a run-on. C uses comma splices. D is correct with the exception of "earth's." Since you're talking about the planet, it should be capitalized.



DIRECTIONS: In the passage below, certain phrases are underlined and numbered <x>. The question will present alternatives for the underlined part. In most cases, you are to choose the one that best expresses the idea, makes the statement appropriate for standard written English, or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the passage as a whole.

[§8] And he gave me Venus.

[§9] Venus didn't have any moons or satellites or even a magnetic field, but it did have an atmosphere sort of similar to Earth's, except it was super-hot ­ about 500 degrees or more. <6> "So," Dad said, "when the sun starts to burn out and earth <7> turns cold, everyone might want to move to Venus to get warm.

[§11] "Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten," Dad said, "you'll still have your stars." <10>

<7>:

  1. NO CHANGE
  2. God''s Creation
  3. Earth
  4. the world

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

C is correct. The lower-case "earth" is used when referring to soil/dirt/etc. "God's Creation" isn't what the author said, but it also brings in religion unnecessarily. Considering the writer's passage is talking about Santa as a "myth," it's unlikely she would use this language as a descriptor. Lastly, "the world" doesn't refer to the specific planet Earth, which is clearly the place the writer is referencing.

In most cases, you are to choose the one that best expresses the idea, makes the statement appropriate for standard written English, or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the passage as a whole.

By Jeannette Walls

[§1] I never believe <1> in Santa Claus. None of us kids did. Mom and Dad refused to let us. They couldn't afford expensive presents and they didn't want us to think we weren't as good as other kids who, on Christmas morning, <2> found all sorts of fancy toys under the tree that were supposedly left by Santa Claus.

[§2] Dad had lost his job at the gypsum, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took each one of we kids <3> out into the desert night one by one.

[§3] "Pick out your favorite star", Dad said. <4>

[§4] "I like that one!" I said.

[§5] Dad grinned, "That's Venus," he said. He explained to me that planets glowed because reflected light was constant and stars twinkled because their light pulsed.

[§6] "I like it anyway" I said. <5>

[§7] "What the hell," Dad said. "It's Christmas. You can have a planet if you want."

[§8] And he gave me Venus.

[§9] Venus didn't have any moons or satellites or even a magnetic field, but it did have an atmosphere sort of similar to Earth's, except it was super-hot ­ about 500 degrees or more. <6> "So," Dad said, "when the sun starts to burn out and earth <7> turns cold, everyone might want to move to Venus to get warm. And they'll have to get permission from your descendants first." <8>

[§10] We laughed about all the kids who believed in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys. <9>

[§11] "Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten," Dad said, "you'll still have your stars." <10>

Deleting this sentence ­ And they'll have to get permission from your descendants first. <8> ­ would primarily lose details that:

  1. The author's father wants her to be stingy with her ownership of the planet.
  2. The author's father wants her to shut out the world.
  3. The author's father wants her to be brave when he's gone.
  4. The author's father wants her to feel as special as any other child even though she may not have all the same material things.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

D is correct. The author's father, unable to afford "cheap plastic" presents, wants his daughter to feel special and proud of her gift. This sentence best emphasizes the gift's importance ­ both to the giver and the receiver.

[§11] "Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten," Dad said, "you'll still have your stars." <10>

<9>:

  1. NO CHANGE
  2. kids, who believed in the Santa myth, and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys.
  3. kids who believed, in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys.
  4. kids, who believed in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

D is correct. The subordinate phrase ("who believed in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys") needs to be denoted with a natural pause (hence comma).

These questions are exactly what you will see on exam day, but they are good study. The exam may have questions covering similar objectives, but you will still need to study the material and perform hands on labs to be fully prepared. I used certmaster learn, infosec labs, pentest+ for dummies, pluralsight, wordwall user(markutree has some useful matching exercises), quizlet, and of course this resource. Hope this helps.

To those who are going for this exam and wondering if any passed. I wrote this exam. The exam is extremely hard and tricky. Luckily I prepared well and bought the full version of this exam dump which included most of the exam questions. However some answers were incomplete. But overall a fantastic resource well worth the money.
