NYSTCE CST Literacy - Free Test Sample Questions

The teacher lists several words on the board. What term is an anagram of "dusty"?





Correct Answer:
study.


the question presented asks for a term that is an anagram of the word "dusty." among the options listed—fireplace, study, log, dirty, and frame—the correct answer is "study."

an anagram is a word or phrase that is made by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once. for example, the word "dusty" can be rearranged to form the word "study." both words contain the same letters: d, u, s, t, and y, each used exactly once.

the use of anagrams can be particularly beneficial in educational settings. they encourage students to focus on the spelling of words, thereby enhancing their reading and writing skills. by analyzing how the letters rearrange, students develop a deeper understanding of language structure and orthography. additionally, solving anagrams can help improve cognitive abilities like problem-solving and critical thinking.

in this specific instance, none of the other options provided—fireplace, log, dirty, and frame—constitute anagrams of "dusty" because none of them use exactly the same letters as "dusty." hence, "study" is the only correct answer. engaging with such exercises can be both fun and educational, offering a creative way to explore the intricacies of the english language.
