Try a few questions

Sample questions from the CLEP College Composition bank. Answers are checked on the server — nothing is revealed until you answer.

Question 1. Original fictional practice draft: Reusable dining containers (1) Takeout meals generate substantial disposable packaging on campus. (2) Dining services should pilot a reusable-container return system. (3) A waste audit found many single-use containers after lunchtime. (4) Lost containers and washing demands could increase costs. (5) A small participating group could help test return rates and cleaning capacity. (6) The audit measured discarded packaging but not willingness to return containers. Which combination of sentences 4 and 5 clearly acknowledges the objection while retaining the proposed response?

Question 2. Choose the word that fits formal written English: "The revised price of the tickets produced ___ complaints than the earlier version."

Question 3. FICTIONAL PRACTICE SOURCES — authors, publications, and observations are invented. Source A: Nadia Cole, "Local Review: Museum labels," 2021, p. 17. A small visitor study found that several readers could not explain key terms. The study used only one exhibit and a small group of visitors. Source B: Mira Hayes, "Implementation Notes: Museum labels," 2021, p. 20. Simplified labels might remove useful detail for experienced visitors. Layered labels could provide a concise entry point and optional deeper explanation. A note attributes a claim to "Hayes, Implementation Notes: Museum labels." Which supplied source should the reader consult?
