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. While researching Chomsky's Jewish heritage, Teddy wants to research traditional Judaism. Which section of the library would most likely contain the most relevant information?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '200.' According to the Dewey Decimal System, religion falls under section 200. Traditional Judaism research aligns with religious studies, making section 200 the most suitable for finding relevant information. Choices A, C, and D do not directly relate to religious topics and are therefore less likely to contain information on traditional Judaism.

3. The speaker addresses his audience as 'My Good Friends.' What kind of credibility does this salutation give to the speaker?

• A. The speaker is an employer addressing his employees, so the salutation is a way to bridge the gap between himself and his employees.
• B. The speaker's salutation is one from an entertainer to his audience, using friendly language to connect before a serious speech.
• C. The salutation gives the serious speech that follows a somber tone, as it is used ironically.
• D. The speech is one from a politician to the public, so the salutation is used to grab the audience's attention.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The speaker's address of 'My Good Friends' implies a sense of warmth and familiarity, indicating that the speaker wants to establish a connection with the audience before delivering a serious speech. This type of salutation is often used by entertainers to engage the audience and create a friendly atmosphere conducive to effective communication. Choice A is incorrect because there is no indication of an employer-employee relationship. Choice C is incorrect as there is no indication of irony in the salutation. Choice D is incorrect as the salutation aims to create a connection rather than grab attention as a politician might.

4. What is the definition of the word 'haunt' in the following passage? 'From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by street of shops.'

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Haunt' in this context means to visit a place frequently or persistently, which aligns with Mr. Utterson's actions of regularly going to the door in the by street of shops. The other choices are incorrect because 'levitate' means to rise or float in the air, 'terrorize' means to cause extreme fear, and 'daunt' means to make someone feel intimidated or apprehensive, none of which accurately reflect the meaning of 'haunt' in this context.

5. What does the following sentence most nearly mean? 'The preparatory instars of such insects are aquatic; the adult instar is aerial.'

• A. The volume of water is necessary for preparing the insect for transition rather than the volume of the air.
• B. The insect's body is shaped like a star in both water and air.
• C. The stage of preparation between molting occurs in water, while the final stage happens in the air.
• D. These insects first breathe in water through gills and then continue to use the same organs to breathe in the air.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence indicates that the insects undergo different stages of development, with the preparatory instars being aquatic and the adult instar being aerial. This highlights the adaptability of these insects to different environments. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the volume of water and air rather than the stages of development in different environments. Choice B is unrelated to the content of the sentence and does not capture the meaning accurately. Choice D is incorrect as it specifically mentions breathing through gills, which is not explicitly stated in the sentence. Therefore, choice C is the best interpretation of the sentence.
