1. ANSWER: C. provide commentary on the central problem.

In the play "Crossroads: A Sad Vaudeville", the flagman's character mainly existed to talk about the central problem or theme of the story, that is the search for love and old age. Along the play we can see him uttering dialogue that pertains to this theme.

2. ANSWER: D. time

In the play, the main enemy of the woman is time, since she's already old yet she still wants to search for love. She meets a man in a train station who was also searching for the "special one"; however, upon seeing the "mask of old age" the man thinks she is not the right one for him.

3. ANSWER: A. preposition

A preposition in a sentence relates a noun to another word. For example, in the sentence, the noun "sheets" is related to the hamper using the word "inside". We can also think of a preposition as something that tells the position of a noun, although there may be special cases when this cannot be applied to.

4. ANSWER: C. interjection

In the sentence, the word "Gosh!" is used as an exclamation. This is exactly what an interjection is. An interjection is an abrupt remark made from shock. Some examples of interjection include "ah!", "oh my!", and other remarks that are clearly meant to interject someone because of pure shock.

5. ANSWER: B. conjunction

The word "and" in the sentence connects two trains of thought or clauses in the sentence. One clause being about the person scooping ice cream and the other one being about him/her dropping it in the bowl. We call these words that connect clauses or sentences conjunction.

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
