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.

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 statements most closely correlates with the definition of the term working man?

• A. A working man is not someone who works for institutions or corporations, but someone who is well-versed in the workings of the soul.
• B. A working man is someone who is probably not involved in social activities because the physical demand for work is too high.
• C. A working man is someone who works for wages among the middle class.
• D. The working man has historically taken to the field, to the factory, and now to the screen.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option D provides a succinct summary of the historical shifts in the type of work commonly associated with the 'working man.' It references how the working man has transitioned from agricultural fields to factories and eventually to modern society's dependence on technology, represented by the 'screen.' This progression highlights the evolution of labor and the changing landscape of work over time. Choices A, B, and C do not accurately capture the essence of a working man's historical journey through various types of labor and the societal changes that have influenced it.

3. Jensen has been assigned a project on ancient Greece, but the project terms are general. This means that he can select any topic of interest to him from Ancient Greece and focus his project around this. Jensen is overwhelmed and does not even know where to begin. What section of the library should he check first for general information about ancient Greece?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 400
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jensen should check the 900 section of the library for general information about ancient Greece. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system, the 900 section covers history and geography. Ancient Greece falls under the category of history, so Jensen can find a wide range of resources related to ancient Greece in this section, which will provide him with a good starting point for his project. Choice A (100) refers to Philosophy and psychology, Choice B (200) to Religion, and Choice C (400) to Languages, which are not directly related to ancient Greece, making them incorrect options.

4. Given the style of writing for the passage, which of the following magazines would be the best fit for this article?

• A. Scientific Spelunking
• B. Family Fun Days
• C. Adventures for Men
• D. Mud Magazine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The article's style is light-hearted and aimed at families looking for outdoor adventures. It suggests activities suitable for families with children, making Family Fun Days the best fit among the given magazine options. 'Scientific Spelunking' may focus more on the scientific aspects rather than family-friendly fun. 'Adventures for Men' may cater to a male audience rather than families. 'Mud Magazine' seems more focused on mud-related content, which doesn't align with the family-friendly, outdoor adventure theme of the article.

5. What is the purpose of this passage?

• A. To describe the sun-fish's reproductive habits.
• B. To explain the ecosystem of the sun-fish.
• C. To persuade readers to protect aquatic ecosystems.
• D. To discuss the mating habits of sun-fish.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage describes the reproductive habits of the sun-fish, focusing on how the mother sun-fish provides and guards her spawn until they are ready to take care of themselves. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not delve into the broader ecosystem of the sun-fish. Choice C is incorrect as there is no persuasive element in the passage about protecting aquatic ecosystems. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss the mating habits of sun-fish but rather the care provided by the mother sun-fish.
