Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.69 Fluency Phrasing and Expression skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Read the sentence: "I thought it was 'free,'" she said, "but it cost five dollars." Which option best shows careful phrasing so the quoted word 'free' stands out?

A"I thought it was 'free,'" she said, "but it cost / five dollars."

B"I thought it was 'free,'" / she said, "but it cost five dollars." (missing pause after said)

C"I thought it was / 'free,'" she said, / "but it cost five dollars."

D"I thought it was 'free,'" / she said, / "but it cost five dollars."

Solution & Explanation:Pause around the dialogue tag using the commas. The single quotes show 'free' is a special word to emphasize while reading.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Read the sentence: "In my pocket (I checked twice), the note was gone." Which option best matches the parentheses and the comma?

AIn my pocket / (I checked twice), the note was gone.

BIn my pocket (I checked twice) /, the note was gone.

CIn my pocket (I checked twice), / the note was gone. (aside voice in parentheses)

DIn my pocket (I checked / twice), the note was gone.

Solution & Explanation:Read the parenthetical as a quick aside, then pause at the comma after the parentheses before finishing the sentence.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Read the sentence: "Sure," he said, "but are you sure?" Which option best matches the change in expression from a statement to a question?

A"Sure," he said, "but are you sure?" (same voice for both parts)

B"Sure," / he said, / "but are you sure?" (calm on 'Sure,' then question voice)

C"Sure" / he said, "but are you sure." (missing comma; wrong ending)

D"Sure," he said /, "but / are you sure?" (odd pause inside question)

Solution & Explanation:The first quote is a statement, so it sounds calm. The second quote ends with a question mark, so your voice rises at the end.
