• A. Barton works as a federal patent clerk
• B. Barton travels to Europe
• C. Barton identifies anonymous soldiers

2. Which of the following bones are located in the hand?

• A. fibula
• B. metacarpals
• C. metatarsals
• D. ulna

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, metacarpals. The metacarpals are the bones located in the hand, making up the palm and connecting to the fingers (phalanges) and wrist bones (carpals). The fibula and ulna are located in the leg and arm respectively, while the metatarsals are found in the foot. The axial skeleton consists of bones down the center of the body, including the skull, vertebrae, and ribs, while the appendicular skeleton includes bones of the arms, legs, and their attachments to the axial skeleton.

3. Why are italics used in the sentence, 'Although Ben said he supported his coworkers, his actions suggested he did not condone their behavior'?

• A. to show a word is intentionally misspelled
• B. to indicate a word in a foreign language
• C. to emphasize a contrast
• D. to reference a footnote

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Italics are often used in writing to draw attention to specific words or phrases, especially in cases where there is a contrast or emphasis intended. In this sentence, the use of italics on 'supported' and 'condone' helps highlight the contradiction between Ben's words and actions, emphasizing the contrast between what he said and what he actually did. Choice A is incorrect because italics are not used to indicate intentional misspellings in this context. Choice B is incorrect as italics are not used to indicate foreign words in this sentence. Choice D is incorrect as there is no mention of footnotes in the sentence.

4. Which of the following is not an example of something the author of Passage 1 claims travels from place to place through human environment?

• A. Fairy tales
• B. Language
• C. Ideas
• D. Foods

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Foods. The author of Passage 1 mentions language, ideas, and goods as examples of things that travel from place to place through the movement of peoples. There is no mention of food in the passage as something that is spread through human interaction. Fairy tales, language, and ideas are specifically highlighted in the text as elements that are transmitted through human interaction. While foods can be exchanged between cultures, the passage does not discuss them in the context of spreading through human interaction, making it the correct answer. Choice A (Fairy tales), B (Language), and C (Ideas) are all supported by the text as examples of things that travel through human environments, unlike food.

• B. The Life of Zahi Hawass (2014)
• C. A History of Hieroglyphics (2013)
• D. Who Built the Great Pyramids? (2015)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best guide for Raul would be 'Who Built the Great Pyramids?' as it focuses on the construction of the pyramids, providing detailed research on the topic. Choices A, B, and C are less relevant as they do not specifically address the construction of the pyramids. Choice A is about Giza in general, Choice B is a biography, and Choice C is about hieroglyphics, none of which directly relate to the construction of the pyramids.
