Asked in Premeth Test 2 — Reaction Kinetics

Find the error in following sentence"You think it's a practical joke." she asked as they went into the room.

Correct answer: B. Joke

  • A. It's
  • B. Joke
  • C. As they went
  • D. Into

Explanation

The sentence "You think it's a practical joke." she asked as they went into the room contains a period (.) after "joke", which makes the sentence confusing and grammatically incorrect. The period ends the sentence abruptly, making it seem like "You think it's a practical joke" is a statement, rather than a question.The correct punctuation mark to use in this case is a question mark (?) after "joke", to indicate that it's a question being asked.

About Reaction Kinetics

Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
