Pretest

Question 4 • English 3

Read the sentence. The speaker of Okita’s poem likes to eat American things like hot dogs. Which is the best revision of this sentence using academic vocabulary?

Answer
A
The speaker of the poem likes hot dogs, which are considered a typical American food.
B
The speaker of the poem likes to eat American foods, not Japanese foods.
C
The speaker of the poem prefers Japanese food to American food.
D
The poem’s speaker likes to eat junk food and hot dogs, just like most kids.

Explanation

Choice C is the best revision because it replaces the informal phrase “American things” with the more precise and academic term “American food.” It also keeps the specific example, hot dogs, and explains how they relate to the speaker’s preference. The other choices add claims about Japanese food, junk food, or what most kids like that the original sentence does not state.
