B
C
D

E
Correct answer
E
Feedback
E. Did you choose no change for this sentence? Good. In this case, the Student Council
is not being thought of
as one single whole, but a group of several individuals. Therefore, the plural form of the
verb, came, is correct.
In other words, they came to verbal blows.

A
B
C
D

E
Feedback
D. At first this sentence might sound correct as it is. However, find the verb, need. Then
ask yourself, who or
what need? The answer is Everyone need. Everyone is one of those indefinite pronouns
that must be taken as
singular. Every single one needs is the combination you want.

distorted from its original, and sometimes less than (D. positive), story when Disney

A
B
C

D
E
Feedback
C. Finally, Cinderella is one story. The interruptive phrase, or other similar fairy tales,
might tempt you to
choose the wrong answer. The subject is singular, the classic Cinderella, therefore, the
verb must also be singular,
become, not becomes. Choice C is the incorrect part of the sentence.

44-50. In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration,
Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young
Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the
quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed
from service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V
of Spain. A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50
degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan
offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20,
1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these
ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route
across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the
southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near
a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but
today we know it as the Strait of Magellan. One ship deserted while in this passage
and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama
of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian we now call the
International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on the Pacific
Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and
disease. Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and
was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command
of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain
and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.

the original cost (100% − 8% = 92%). To find 92% of the original cost,
multiply the original cost of the pants by the decimal equivalent of 92%;
$24 × 0.92 = $22.08.

$573,000. To find 2.5% of $573,000, multiply by the decimal equivalent
of 2.5%; $573,000 × 0.025 = $14,325. If you chose a, you used the
decimal 0.25, which is 25%, NOT 2.5%.

c. Find 20% of $500 by multiplying $500 by the decimal equivalent of
20% (0.20); $500 × 0.20 = $100. She spent $100 on clothes, leaving her
with $400. Find 25% of $400; 0.25 × 400 = $100. Julie spent $100 on
CDs. $100 on clothes plus $100 on CDs totals $200 spent. If you chose
a, you found 45% (20% + 25%) of the total without taking into account
that the 25% was on the amount of money Julie had AFTER spending
the original 20%.

c. First, find the number of residents who left Hamden by subtracting the
new population from the old population; 350,000 − 329,000 = 21,000.
The population decreased by 21,000. To find what percent this is of the
original population, divide 21,000 by the original population of
350,000; 21,000 ÷ 350,000 = 0.06; 0.06 is equivalent to 6%. If you chose
d, you found the decrease in relation to the NEW population (2000)
when the decrease must be in relation to the original population (1990).

shapes on the left of the scale represent the same value as those shapes on the right.
From the first image we can work out the 2 orange circles equate to one blue square.
Similarly, two blue squares equate to one white circle. Therefore: 1 white circle = 2 blue
squares = 4 orange circles.
