Extract:

  • An adult skeleton had 206 bones. The skeleton has two major divisions: the axil skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton, which consists of 80 bones including the skull, vertebrae, and rib, is located down the center of the body. The axial skeleton protects vital organs such as the brain and heart. The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 ones of the arms, legs, and the bones that attach these bones to the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton includes the scapulae (shoulder blades), clavicles (collarbones), and pelvic (hip) bones.

    • 1. Which of the following bones is not associated with the leg?

    Correct answer: D

    Rationale: The correct answer is D, radius. According to the passage, the radius is a bone in the lower arm, not in the leg. The femur, tibia, and patella are bones associated with the leg. The femur is the thigh bone, the tibia is the shin bone, and the patella is the kneecap. Therefore, the radius is the only bone among the options that is not associated with the leg.

    2. Which of the following bones are located in the hand?

    Correct answer: B

    Rationale: The correct answer is B, metacarpals. The metacarpals are the bones located in the hand, making up the palm and connecting to the fingers (phalanges) and wrist bones (carpals). The fibula and ulna are located in the leg and arm respectively, while the metatarsals are found in the foot. The axial skeleton consists of bones down the center of the body, including the skull, vertebrae, and ribs, while the appendicular skeleton includes bones of the arms, legs, and their attachments to the axial skeleton.

    Extract:

  • Eventually, his son King Charles II would be crowned, and this Charles is believed to have converted secretly to the Catholic Church. Charles II died without a legitimate heir, and his brother James ascended to the throne as King James II. James was recognized to be a practicing Catholic, and his commitment to Catholicism would prove to e his downfall. James’s wife Mary Beatrice lost a number of children during their infancy, and when she became pregnant again in 1687 the public became concerned. If James had a son, that son would undoubtedly be raised a Catholic, and the English people would not stand for this. Mary gave birth to a son, but the story quickly circulated that the royal child had died and the child named James’s heir was a foundling smuggled in. James, his wife, and his infant son were forced to flee; and James’s Protestant daughter Mary was crowned the queen. In spite of a strong resemblance to the ing, the young James was generally rejected among the English and the Lowland Scots, who referred to him as "the Pretender." But in the Highlands the Catholic princeling was welcomed. He inspired a group known as Jacobites, to reflect the Latin version of his name. His own son Charles, known affectionately as Bonnie Price Charlie, would eventually raise an army and attempt to recapture what he believed to be his throne. The movement was soundly defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and England and Scotland have remained ostensibly Protestant ever since.

    • 3. What is the author's likely purpose in writing this passage about Queen Victoria?

    Correct answer: C

    Rationale: The author's likely purpose in writing this passage about Queen Victoria is to explain how small events in history led to an unlikely princess becoming the queen of England. The passage details the series of events that changed the course of British succession and highlights Victoria's unexpected path to the throne. It focuses on the historical process that resulted in her becoming queen, rather than persuading the reader to appreciate her accomplishments, introducing the Victorian Era as a whole, or discussing the role of other historical figures like King George III's sons.

    • 4. Which of the following sentences contains an opinion on the part of the author?

    Correct answer: D

    Rationale: The sentence in answer choice D expresses the opinion of the author by suggesting that scholars in the 21st century are hasty in dismissing the role of religion in political disputes. This opinion is presented without factual evidence or support within the passage, making it an opinion rather than a statement based on information provided in the text. Choice A simply states facts about James being a practicing Catholic and how it affected him, without expressing any opinion. Choice B also presents a factual statement about King Charles I's commitment to the Protestant Church of England. Choice C provides historical information about the Battle of Culloden and the religious state of England and Scotland, without any opinion from the author.

The movement was soundly defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and England and Scotland have remained ostensibly Protestant ever since.

    • 5. Based on the information provided within the passage, which of the following can be inferred about King James II's son?

    Correct answer: A

    Rationale: The passage describes that the young James bore a strong resemblance to King James II, suggesting that he was likely the legitimate child of the king and the queen. This resemblance supports the inference that the young James was indeed their offspring. Choice B is incorrect because although there were suspicions about the prince's legitimacy, the passage does not mention these suspicions being based on the queen's previous inability to produce a healthy child. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not compare the popularity of James 'the Pretender' among the Highland clans to his son Bonnie Prince Charlie. Choice D is also incorrect as the passage does not mention James's inability to acquire resources for building an army or planning an invasion.
