What up, ladies and gentlemen. Dr. A here
CEO of The Learning Liaisons and welcome.
So we've got a hundred
multiple choice questions and
discussions that i'm going to be going
through.
Just want to give you a quick sample to
do a quick little quiz here. So whether
or not you have to do the Core Writing
or not
let's test your skills out here. So I got
two questions, so how this is gonna roll
out
is I'm gonna jump to question number one.
I'm gonna read through the question to
you.
I want you to pause the video pause the
video, do your best,
figure out the answer and more
importantly think to yourself "why?"
Why did you choose A, why did you choose
D? Why did you choose E?
You need to know the why on these tests
and all of these different PRAXIS
exams
because what does that mean that means
if you know the "why" then you understand
the concept.
Did you ever ever have a teacher ask you
a question
and you're like well I picked this
answer and the teacher goes "well, why did
you pick that answer?" and you go
"I don't know, it just look right." You're
probably laughing right now because
everybody's done that
one time our life time or another in
their lives
if you that's your response to an answer
that means you don't really know
you don't know the why and the key to
successfully knocking out these exams on
the first attempt
that no one wants to pay ets over and
over again to take this dang test
you need to understand the why so i want
you to think about that question going
to come on the screen
i'm going to read through it hit pause
figure out what you think the answer is
why throw it in the comment box too
below this video as well
and we're going to do two quick
questions here so i'm going to test your
skills here
all right so let's get rolling so
question number one
which of the following corrects an error
in the sentence below
the accused walked slow to the place
where the judge waited to sentence him
for the dastardly crime of jay walking
is it a slowly b to be sentenced
c dastardly love that word
d j walking and e no errors so
go ahead and hit that pause button on
this video um
take a take a couple seconds to to
reflect
think about which answer choice is the
best one
and this is the most important part when
you put your response below this video
tell me why
in a sentence right or you didn't have
to be a complete sentence just
give me a couple words as to why that's
the key like i said before
once you understand the why you're
golden with the concept
if you can't tell me why you need to
keep practicing and review the content
that's the key there so go ahead hit
pause
all right you ready here we go what'd
you think it was
a b c d or e well the answer choice here
is a so let's talk about this a little
bit
now why is it correct so it's a correct
because the word
slow right here is an adjective
and the adjective is modifying the verb
walked
that's the key there so keep in mind
that adjectives do not modify verbs
they don't what they do is making this
slow
is a misplaced modifier that's the term
here
so it makes it a misplaced modifier
to correct this error the adverb slowly
choice a must be substituted for the
word slow in the center that is what's
going to make this sentence flow
and be grammatically correct so the
accused
walked slowly to the place where the
judge waited to sentence him for the
dastardly crime
of jaywalking so hopefully you got that
one right
that's the key there understanding the
why all right so real quick
slow is an adjective modifying the verb
walk so remember adjectives don't modify
verbs that's the key there that's the
biggest part
adjectives do not modify verbs all right
good job let's take a look at one more
question here
question number two which of the
following corrects an error in the
sentence
at past family gatherings my family
loved telling embarrassing stories about
me that everyone had heard
or at least already knows about
is it a loved be embarrassed
c had heard d new
or e no errors so go ahead and hit that
pause button reflect for
for a couple of moments think about
what's the best answer
and why remember that's the key why
go ahead hit pause now all right
are you ready here we go the answer here
is
d new now y right the key is y
so choice d is correct because it
demonstrates an
improper
shift intense
that's the why improper shift intense
everything in the sentence
is happening in the past except except
this word all right so everything is
happening in the in the past tense
except
that word nu would be the correct
substitute because it's in the past
tense making d the only acceptable
option so if you enjoyed these
analyzations of these questions
get ready for our praxis core writing
boot camp um
because we're going to go through 100
multiple choice questions and i'll be
adding some along the way
we're going to separate those into the
first part of the multiple choice where
we talk about grammar
and punctuation like this and we're
going to do a bunch of questions in the
second
skill portion of the multiple choice
where they talk about research
right and writing styles so stay tuned
let me know what you think but
hopefully you got those both right if
you didn't who cares it's all about
understanding the why
and learning from your mistakes because
if you don't make mistakes you're never
going to grow
so the key is to pass this exam on the
first attempt it's all about getting the
knowledge skill and attitude that you
deserve
to rock this exam and be done with this
core exam so
stay tuned we're going to be launching
that multiple choice boot camp
very soon
you
