Answer 1
Answer: The best way to tackle this question is to go through each answer and pointing out the errors. 

"The book, that I borrowed from Elizabeth last week was excellent." The point of this sentence is to say that the book is excellent. The bit in the middle is just anecdotal and it should be removable in between two commas. Therefore, it should be "The book, that I borrowed from Elizabeth last week, was excellent."

"About four thousand years ago, Stonehenge, was a center of worship." In this example, the opening is setting up the rest of the sentence. However, the extra comma is irrelevant. It should be "About four thousand years ago, Stonehenge was a center of worship."

"Athletic excellence requires a number of traits: perseverance, skill, aggression, and discipline." This one is a much simpler- yet subtler- mistake; there is no comma in a list just before the "and". It should be "Athletic excellence requires a number of traits: perseverance, skill, aggression and discipline." 

That leaves C) as the correct answer.

(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed.

What sort of people served as a model for characters in movies like Scarface and Little Caesar?

Answers

Mobs or gangsters served as a model for these type of movies. These films are usually dealing with organized crime, often times with the mafia.

Both films portray the lives of criminals, members of criminal gangs, and their incursions into organized crime.

Little Caesar narrates the rise and decline of Rico Bandello, a thug who began his criminal career by executing small thefts and ended his existence as the head of the city's most important mafia gang.

In the case of Scarface, it tells the story of Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant in Miami in the 1980s, who begins as a small cocaine dealer until he becomes the king of that drug in Florida.

Which is the best summary of this paragraph?"Any system that can transmit information across a distance, such as mail, telegram, telephone, or television, may be called a telegraph. Telegraph comes from the ancient Greek words tele, meaning "far," and graphein, meaning "to write." The earliest forms of communication across great distances were probably smoke, fire, and drum signals. The world has come a long way since then. Nowadays, many people exchange electronic mail, or email, addresses. This is because of a relatively new and powerful tool called the Internet, the most modern method of communication we have."

a) Any system transmitting information across a distance can technically be called a telegraph. The use of the Internet for communication is a major advancement over earlier forms of communication.
b) Email has replaced the telegraph as a modern means of communication. Email is an advancement over smoke, fire, and drum signals.
