1. According to the timeline, which of the following events happens second?

• A. Barton works as a federal patent clerk
• B. Barton travels to Europe
• C. Barton identifies anonymous soldiers
• D. Barton works on the frontlines of the Civil War

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the timeline provided, Barton working on the frontlines of the Civil War is the second event to occur. This event happened after her work as a patent clerk but before other events. Barton's travel to Europe and identification of anonymous soldiers happened after her service on the frontlines of the Civil War, making them later events in the timeline.

2. What do you predict occurred after Mother Jones's publication about child labor in cotton mills?

• A. More children signed up to work in the factories
• B. Cotton factories in the South closed
• C. Laws were passed to prevent child labor
• D. The pay scale for these children was increased

Correct answer: C

Rationale: After Mother Jones's publication detailing the harsh conditions of child labor in cotton mills, it is likely that public awareness increased, leading to public outcry. This heightened awareness and outrage often result in legislative actions being taken. Therefore, it is reasonable to predict that laws were passed to prevent child labor, as the excerpt vividly describes the unsafe and exploitative working conditions faced by children. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the publication would not have encouraged more children to work in such harsh conditions, led to the closure of cotton factories, or increased the pay scale for child laborers; instead, it would have prompted societal action to protect children from such exploitation.

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. It can be inferred from the advertisement that

• A. A person staffing this position may work independently and/or as part of a team.
• B. Veronica Davis will make the hiring decisions.
• C. Caseloads will start out small for new hires.
• D. A candidate could work part-time if he or she chooses to.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: It can be inferred from the advertisement that a person staffing this position may work independently and/or as part of a team. The job description mentions the requirement for the ability to work both self-directed and as part of a team, indicating flexibility in working styles. Choice B is incorrect as Veronica Smith is mentioned as the contact for application submission, not the hiring decision-maker. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of caseload sizes for new hires. Choice D is incorrect as the advertisement does not specify part-time work as an option.

5. What is one point on which the scientist and politician agree?

• A. Burning fossil fuels causes global temperatures to rise.
• B. Global temperatures are increasing.
• C. Countries must revisit their energy policies before it's too late.
• D. Earth's climate naturally goes through warming and cooling periods.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Global temperatures are increasing.' The scientist and politician both agree on this point based on the context provided. Choice A is incorrect because while it might be a common belief among scientists, the politician's agreement is not explicitly mentioned. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a course of action rather than a point of agreement. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the consensus that global temperatures are currently increasing due to human activities, not just natural climate cycles.
