Group of answer choices

A. People of all races and dresses commit crimes differently or the same as people who don't commit crimes and are doctors and lawyers, so crimminal profiling is not right.

B. It is difficult to tell who fits a crimminal profile because people of all races and manners of dress commit crimes differently or the same as people, such as doctors and lawyers who don't commit crimes.

C. It is difficult to tell who fits a crimminal profile because people of all races and manners of dress commit the same crimes as people such as doctors and lawyers.

D. It is difficult to tell who fits a crimminal profile because both law-breakers and law-abiding people come in all races, professions, and manners of dress.

To choose the answers for each question, we must keep definitions of what nouns and verbs are in mind, and that formal English uses words that are less common.

In the sentence provided in question 28, the word "rain" is used both as a noun and as a verb. A verb indicates an action, and it must have a subject. A noun names something or someone. Therefore, "rain" is first used as a verb, then as a noun in the sentence.

A run-on sentence is simply a sentence that joins two independent clauses incorrectly. The sentence presented in question 29 is a run-on. To correct it, we must use a semicolon.

A sentence may have four different purposes:

In an expository text, we would mostly find declarative sentences.

A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences that convey to readers what the author will talk about in his writing. In question 31, the best thesis statement is option C because it clearly shows that topic or subject of the text, but it leaves room for the author to develop it in the following paragraphs.

Formal English is mostly used in writing and certain social situations. It is the type of English that respects grammar rules, does not make use of slang, and uses more difficult, less common words. For both questions 32 and 33, we must apply this knowledge to choose the best options.

Story


The Bosnian War took place between 1992 and 1995 in response to the breakup of Yugoslavia. It was primarily an ethnic conflict, as Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats, and the Yugoslav army fought for control over land.

Davud pounded the door of the home in Gorazde, pretending he didn’t recognize it. He didn’t want his fellow soldiers to see the doubt in his eyes, so he cast them toward the sidewalk. Just eighteen years old, Davud had enlisted in the Ground Forces of the Yugoslav People’s Army to fulfill his duty to the citizens of Yugoslavia. He swelled with pride each time he put on the uniform of his country.

The soldiers entered the house of the suspected Serbian spies, a house where Davud had once helped lay flooring and even played with the younger children who lived there. Once a home filled with the smells of freshly baked bread, the structure was now barely a house. The family huddled together, staring at the fighters with wide eyes. They had been living without water or electricity. A single battery-powered radio stood in the corner of a drab, dank room. The soldiers ahead of Davud roughly grabbed an old man he recognized as the grandfather. The other family members were shuttled up the basement stairs to a waiting bus. Davud’s stomach clenched, realizing they would soon be confined to an internment camp. The family’s teenage son, Filip, stared icily as he passed.

Davud continued staring at the floor, avoiding Filip’s eyes. He knew the intelligence that the army had collected named this family as spies, a dangerous undertaking. But it was hard to picture the boy Davud had played with as the enemy. And was he?

Lost in thought, Davud felt the soldier behind him lightly shove him in the direction of the door. Shaking off the feeling of uncertainty, Davud straightened and marched to the street above without casting a second glance at the house.

The veiled women with eyes like panthers,
The swollen, aggressive turbans of jeweled Pashas.

A curiously clear-cut, candid flower,
Standing beside clean doorways,
Friendly to a house-cat and a pair of spectacles,
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms.

Has for years and years;
New Hampshire knows you,
And Massachusetts
And Vermont.

Mr. Rogers Don't Live Here
OR
n a night when the inky sky is wearing a shroud, and the moon eyes
weary travelers, the wind is whistling through vacant spaces like a bro-
ken phonograph playing ghostly melodies. Sluggish souls tremble as super-
natural organs play tunes of terror in the waning light. While thoughts swarm
of "things that go bump in the night and devilish demons dance, the green
and yellow eyes of obscure creatures watch from the shadows. The neighbor-
hood has become a dangerous jungle of broken bodies, vacant eyes, and wild
creatures waiting to pounce on unsuspecting souls.
Broken buildings are like bodies that have been used and tossed aside.
These hulking, crumbling structures fling concrete boulders from their roof-
tops: consequently, the fused stones, as if tossed by evil imps, become mur-
derous missiles of destruction. The unsuspecting traveler, unaware of their
formidable firing power, now wears a bandage on his head, a reminder of the
neighborhood's ability to strike swiftly and painfully. Windows, framed but
without glass, squint as they watch passersby stumble on rippled sidewalks.
Snake-like cracks wait to ambush unsuspecting victims. The menacing walk-
ways connect the vacant spaces of deserted lots and the streets that are as
mean as lions chasing lambs. The neighborhood is littered with a variety of
paraphernalia: the unfulfilled visions lost in bottles of drowned dreams and
needles of forgotten promises, the obstacles to the art of survival.
Vacant eyes are connected to lost souls. Dealers of every type of drug are
lurking in deepening shadows: buyers rushing in to purchase the ability to
forget. Dreams are forever lost after these transactions, like Satan's spawn.
Pushers are cackling witches during a late October's eve as they collect all
debts due from hopeless junkies. The wasted eyes are only capable of search-
ing for someone to rob. Fatalistic criminals are prepared to relieve hard work-
ing citizens of their pay, and ladies of the evening are sometimes the forgotten
players in this hellish nightmare. Young and not so young women, neurotic
