1. According to the advertisement, which of the following is true?

• A. Candidates must have three or more years of litigation experience
• B. Candidates will have small caseloads
• C. Candidates must be members of the California State Bar Association
• D. The position is not currently available

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. This information is based on the advertisement's specific requirement that candidates must be members of the California Bar Association. The job description clearly states, 'Candidates must be members in Good Standing of the California Bar Association.' This indicates that a valid license to practice law in California is a mandatory qualification for the position advertised. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no mention in the advertisement of candidates needing three or more years of litigation experience, having small caseloads, or the position not being currently available.

2. What can the reader conclude from the passage above?

• A. The kingsnake is dangerous to humans.
• B. The coral snake and the kingsnake are both hunted by the same predators.
• C. It's safe to handle snakes in the woods because you can easily tell whether they're poisonous.
• D. The kingsnake changes its markings when hawks or eagles are close by.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage explains that the kingsnake mimics the venomous coral snake's markings to deter predators, particularly hawks and eagles, which cannot differentiate between the two species. This implies that both the coral snake and the kingsnake face similar threats from predators in their shared habitat. Choice A is incorrect because the passage clearly states that the kingsnake is nonvenomous, so it is not dangerous to humans. Choice C is incorrect as the passage highlights that not all snakes with flashy markings are venomous, emphasizing the need for caution. Choice D is incorrect as there is no mention of the kingsnake changing its markings in response to the presence of hawks or eagles in the passage.

3. Sarah also wants to offer her vegan guests a slightly more filling option such as a light soup with some biscuits. Which two chapters of the cookbook should she consult?

• A. Chapter II and Chapter III
• B. Chapter I and Chapter III
• C. Chapter II and Chapter IV
• D. Chapter V and Chapter VI

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Sarah wants to offer her vegan guests a slightly more filling option such as a light soup with some biscuits. Chapter II of the cookbook covers light soups, making it a suitable choice for soup ideas. Chapter IV focuses on baking and bread recipes, including biscuits. By consulting Chapter II for soup recipes and Chapter IV for biscuit recipes, Sarah can find appropriate dishes for her vegan guests. Choice A (Chapter II and Chapter III) is incorrect because Chapter III does not cover biscuits. Choice B (Chapter I and Chapter III) is incorrect as biscuits are not part of Chapter I. Choice D (Chapter V and Chapter VI) is incorrect because these chapters do not contain relevant recipes for a light soup with biscuits.

4. What is the significance of the word 'mind' in the following passage?

• A. The ability to think
• B. A collective vote
• C. A definitive decision
• D. A mythological question

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the provided passage, 'mind' refers to a definitive decision. The context indicates that the emperor made a conscious decision to entertain the speaker with country shows. Choice A, 'The ability to think,' is too broad and does not capture the specific decision-making aspect implied in the passage. Choice B, 'A collective vote,' and Choice D, 'A mythological question,' are irrelevant and do not align with the context provided.

5. Which of the following is not an example given by the author of an element of the Western paradigm?

• A. Hero highly skilled at warfare
• B. Evil villain in black hat
• C. Everyone riding horses
• D. Community made up of upstanding citizens

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author did not mention everyone riding horses as an element of the Western paradigm in the provided passage. The passage discusses the virtuous hero in the white hat, the evil villain in the black hat, and the community made up of upstanding citizens as elements of the Western paradigm. The hero being highly skilled at warfare and the community having morally upstanding citizens were also mentioned. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they were all examples given by the author in the passage.
