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. Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

• A. A war between the world powers was extremely likely.
• B. World War I never would have happened.
• C. England, France, and Russia would have started the war.
• D. Austria would have started the war.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage indicates that the world powers were already in a combustible situation due to complicated military alliances, making war extremely likely even without the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not suggest that World War I would never have happened. Choice C is incorrect as it specifically names the countries that would have started the war, which is not supported by the passage. Choice D is also incorrect as the passage does not solely attribute the war's start to Austria.

3. If Cynthia wants to pick the meal where there would be the least options for her and fellow vegetarians, during what meal should she bring the platter?

• A. Breakfast
• B. Lunch
• C. Cocktail hour
• D. Dinner

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Dinner has the least vegetarian options, making it the most suitable meal for Cynthia to bring her platter. The dinner menu includes Roasted pork loin, seared trout, and bacon-bit topped macaroni and cheese, which are all non-vegetarian dishes. Breakfast, Lunch, and Cocktail hour all have vegetarian options available, making them less suitable for Cynthia's vegetarian platter.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option D provides a sequence of events that align with the extract provided. Julia was woken up early by a lawnmower, couldn't go back to sleep, discovered she was out of regular coffee, got stuck in traffic on the way to work, found the office was out of coffee, had a lot of work to do, and decided to go home when the fire alarm went off. This sequence accurately reflects the chronological order of Julia's actions throughout the day. Choices A, B, and C do not follow a logical sequence of events based on the extract, making them incorrect.

5. What was one of Hedy Lamarr's notable inventions?

• A. Improved traffic light
• B. Carbonated drink
