TSI Assessment Practice (Writing) | Actual Questions and Answers Latest Updated 2024/2025 (Graded A+) (1) Seaweed -based fuel could one day power your car. (2) It is more than just an ingredient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll. (3) According to new research, seaweed has the potential to become an advanced biofuel known as biobutanol. (4) In the past, U.S. scientists have looked to the possibility of algae -based biofuels, but most of these explorations have shied away from kelp and seaweed. (5) One reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a potential fuel source is the fact that it's not a major part of American culture. (6) In contrast, in Asian countries such as Japan, there has been a long history of seaweed in the cuisine. (7) Japanese researchers are much more familiar with it and have spent decades studying its potential uses. (8) A s econd reason for the U.S. avoidance of seaweed - based biofuel is the country's lack of experience with seaweed farming. (9) The U.S. is no stranger to seaweed harvesting - ✔✔Choice (C) is correct. The new sentence must be a logical and grammatical combinat ion of the existing sentences, which indicate that "Seaweed -based fuel could one day power your car" and that "It" (presumably, seaweed) "is more than just an ingredient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll." Only (C) properly orders the two claims, fi rst expressing that "Seaweed is more than just an ingredient . . ." and then, following a correct use of a semicolon to join two related independent clauses, narrowing the focus to "seaweed -based fuel." The other choices introduce errors: choice (A) create s a comma splice (two independent clauses joined by only a comma), choice (B) provides an illogical cause -effect statement, and choice (D) contains a vague pronoun ("it"). (1) Seaweed -based fuel could one day power your car. (2)It is more than just an ing redient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll. (3) According to new research, seaweed has the potential to become an advanced biofuel known as biobutanol. (4) In the past, U.S. scientists have looked to the possibility of algae -based biofuels, but most of these explorations have shied away from kelp and seaweed. (5) One reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a potential fuel source is the fact that it's not a major part of American culture.(6) In contrast, in Asian countries such as Japan, there ha s been a long history of seaweed in the cuisine. (7) Japanese researchers are much more familiar with it and have spent decades studying its potential uses. (8) A second reason for the U.S. avoidance of seaweed - based biofuel is the country's lack of exper ience with seaweed farming. (9) The U.S. is no stranger to seaweed harvesting. - ✔✔Choice (B) is correct. The new sentence, "There are a number of possible reasons for this," needs to fit logically and grammatically between two existing sentences. Sentence 4 states that American scientists have "shied away from," or ignored, kelp and seaweed as possible biofuels. Sentence 5 notes "One reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a fuel source." Later in the passage, sentence 8 provides "A second reason for the U.S. avoidance of seaweed -based biofuel." The new sentence fits logically and grammatically between sentences 4 and 5 because it introduces the reasons for "this" (American scientists' neglect of kelp and seaweed as potential fuel sources) — reasons that are provided in the following sentences. On the contrary, if choices (A), (C), or (D) were chosen as the answer, "this" would refer to other things for which no reasons are given. (1) Seaweed -based fuel could one day power your car. (2)It is more than j ust an ingredient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll. (3) According to new research, seaweed has the potential to become an advanced biofuel known as biobutanol. (4) In the past, U.S. scientists have looked to the possibility of algae -based biofuels, but most of these explorations have shied away from kelp and seaweed. (5) One reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a potential fuel source is the fact that it's not a major part of American culture.(6) In contrast, in Asian countries such as Japan, there has been a long history of seaweed in the cuisine. (7) Japanese researchers are much more familiar with it and have spent decades studying i ts potential uses. (8) A second reason for the U.S. avoidance of seaweed - based biofuel is the country's lack of experience with seaweed farming. (9) The U.S. is no stranger to seaweed harvesting. - ✔✔Choice (A) is correct. The inserted word or phrase must properly link sentence 7 with the sentences that come before it in the passage. Sentences 5 and 6 suggest that unlike the U.S., where seaweed has not been considered a potential fuel source because U.S. scientists are not familiar with it, Japan has "a lo ng history of seaweed in the cuisine." Sentence 7 states that "Japanese researchers are much more familiar with it and have spent decades studying its potential uses." Only the phrase "As a result" properly links sentence 7 with what has come before: in th e context of the passage, Japanese scientists' familiarity with seaweed is clearly a result of its history as a food in their culture. Choices (B) and (C) suggest a contrast between sentences 6 and 7 that does not exist, and choice (D) suggests that senten ce 7 simply adds more information to sentence 6 rather than showing the proper cause -effect relationship. (1) Seaweed -based fuel could one day power your car. (2)It is more than just an ingredient in a purifying face mask or a sushi roll. (3) According to new research, seaweed has the potential to become an advanced biofuel known as biobutanol. (4) In the past, U.S. scientists have looked to the possibility of algae -based biofuels, but most of these explorations have shied away from kelp and seaweed. (5) O ne reason why seaweed may not have taken off as a potential fuel source is the fact that it's not a major part of American culture.(6) In contrast, in Asian countries such as Japan, there has been a long history of seaweed in the cuisine. (7) Japanese rese archers are much more familiar with it and have spent decades studying its potential uses.Los beneficios de comprar resúmenes en Stuvia estan en línea:
