5 questions
Note from the author:

6.10Bii - The student is expected to develop drafts into a focused, structured, and coherent piece of writing by developing an engaging idea reflecting depth of thought with specific facts and details.

  • Students are expected to support and elaborate on their ideas using specific points and examples. Careful selection of compelling facts or particularly illustrative details reflect depth of thought on the topic. Students should select specific facts, details, and anecdotes that help the reader better understand the ideas the students are trying to convey. When students do not provide specific facts or points to support and elaborate on ideas, the development of the composition remains superficial and unengaging.

Why did you chose that answer?

Test Taking Tips

This question is asking you to ADD a sentence that will support the main idea in paragraph 2 and connect the ideas in sentence 5 to the ideas in sentence 6.

1

First, determine what the main idea of the paragraph is. Click the words that indicate the main idea.

(5) Tajiri's fascination with collecting bugs started when he was young. (6) Tajiri devoted a lot of time to bug collecting because it brought him so much joy. (7) In other words, he was so obsessed with collecting bugs that his friends called him "Dr. Bug." (8) "Every new insect was a wonderful mystery," says Tajiri.

The correct answer choice will also be about the main idea of the paragraph.

  • As always, use the process of elimination. As you read each answer choice ask, "What makes this answer choice wrong?"
  • Eliminate any answer choices that cannot be connected to the main idea of the paragraph.
  • Eliminate any answer choices that do not further develop or explain the idea presented in sentence 5.
LOOK OUT FOR THE DISTRACTOR! Test writers know that some students will rush to answer and just skim the answer choices looking for a common word instead of taking the time to read and analyze each answer choice. DON'T BE TRICKED!
  • The distractor will most likely contain a word you have seen in the paragraph, but it doesn't really connect the ideas of the sentence before it to the ideas in the sentence after it.
  • The correct answer might not contain a word that was in the original paragraph, but it will contain a word related to the main idea of the paragraph.

What will you do differently next time?

After you submit, read the answer choice explanations. In your Writing Journal, write down why the answer choice you originally chose was wrong, and why the correct answer is right.
