1. According to the table above, how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than size small in the month of January?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The corrected question asks how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small in January. The table shows that two more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Two.' Choice A, 'One,' is incorrect as the comparison is between medium and small, not medium and large. Choices C and D, 'Three' and 'Four,' are incorrect as the actual difference is two as per the data provided in the table.

2. With which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?

• A. There is no real mystery about the Bermuda Triangle because most events have reasonable explanations.
• B. Researchers are wrong to expand the focus of the Triangle to the Azores, as this increases the likelihood of accidents.
• C. The official statement of 'causes or reasons unknown' in the loss of the Navy planes was a deliberate concealment from the Navy.
• D. Reducing the legends about the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle will help to reduce the number of reported accidents or shipping losses in the region.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author would most likely agree with the statement that reducing the legends about the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle will help to reduce the number of reported accidents or shipping losses in the region. This aligns with the perspective that many events in the Bermuda Triangle can be explained logically and that dispelling myths and legends can lead to a more accurate understanding of the phenomena occurring in the area. Choice A is incorrect because the author acknowledges that the Bermuda Triangle has sparked interest due to unexplained events. Choice B is incorrect as expanding the focus of the Triangle to the Azores is not associated with an increase in accidents, according to the author. Choice C is incorrect as the author does not suggest a deliberate concealment but rather points towards logical explanations for the events in the Bermuda Triangle.

3. What is the best definition of economy as it is used in this passage?

• A. Exchange of money, goods, and services
• B. Delegation of household affairs
• C. Efficient money management
• D. Less expensive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct definition of 'economy' in this passage is 'efficient money management.' The passage emphasizes the importance of expending less than what is earned, which is a key aspect of efficient money management. Choice A, 'Exchange of money, goods, and services,' is too broad and does not capture the essence of the passage. Choice B, 'Delegation of household affairs,' is not directly related to the context of the passage. Choice D, 'Less expensive,' does not encompass the concept of managing money efficiently as discussed in the passage.

4. What word best describes the organization of this passage?

• A. Modeling
• B. Hypothesizing
• C. Explaining
• D. Observing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Explaining.' The passage is structured in an explanatory manner, providing a detailed account of how a plunger works. It explains the process step by step, from the initial depression of the plunger to the increase in pressure inside the clogged pipe. 'Modeling' and 'Observing' are not suitable choices as the passage does not involve creating models or direct observations. 'Hypothesizing' is also incorrect as the passage focuses on describing the functioning of a plunger rather than proposing or discussing potential hypotheses.

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

• A. James was recognized as a practicing Catholic, and his commitment to Catholicism would prove to be his downfall.
• B. James' son King Charles I proved to be less committed to the Protestant Church of England.
• C. The movement was soundly defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and England and Scotland have remained ostensibly Protestant ever since.
• D. Scholars in the 21st century are far too hasty in dismissing the role of religion in political disputes, but religion undoubtedly played a role in the problems that faced England and Scotland.

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.
