Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

In a memoir unit, students revised narrative scenes. Sentence to revise: "The essay moves from describing the problem, to showing its effects, and proposing a solution."

CThe essay moves from describing the problem to show its effects and to proposing a solution.

BMembers will building circuits, write code, and present their designs at showcases.

CMembers will build circuits, write code, and present their designs at showcases.

DMembers will build circuits, writing code, and present their designs at showcases.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A class discussed what makes a fair school policy. Sentence to revise: "A fair policy is one that is clear in its wording, consistent in its results, and it treats people equally."

Choose the revision with parallel predicate complements.

AA fair policy is one that is clear in its wording, consistent in its results, and it treats people equally.

BA fair policy is one that is clear in its wording, consistent in its results, and fair in its treatment of people.

CA fair policy is one that is clearly worded, consistent in its results, and it treats people fairly.

DA fair policy is one that is clear in its wording, consistently results, and fair in its treatment of people.
