12PART I: WORDS IN SENTENCES
This is a test of your ability to understand the function of words and phrases in sentences.
Look at the following Practice Exercise A:
Practice Exercise A
LONDON is the capital of England.
He liked to go fishing in Maine.
A
B
C
D
E
In the first sentence, LONDON is printed in capital letters. Which word in the second sentence
does the same thing in that sentence as LONDON does in the first sentence? The right answer is
the word “he,” because the first sentence is about "London," and the second sentence is about
“he.” Therefore, answer A is correct.
Now, look at Practice Exercise B:
Practice Exercise B
Mary is cutting the APPLE
My brother John is cooking the steak in a big pan.
A
B
C
D
E
In the first sentence, APPLE is the name of the thing which is being cut; in the second sentence,
steak is the thing which is being cooked. Therefore, answer D is correct.
Remember; always look over all the choices to find the one that functions most nearly like the
word or phrase printed in capital letters in the first sentence. When you are ready, go to the next
page and start work on this part of the test.
