Nursing Elites

1. After an unexpected rearrangement of their schedules, Thomas and his sister realize that they will have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since Thomas and his sister have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m., they need to watch the film later in the evening. Among the options, Reveler Cinema offers showtimes after 10 p.m. with a showing at 7:15 p.m., making it the best choice. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House do not have showtimes after 10 p.m., making Reveler Cinema the most suitable option for the siblings to catch a film at that time.

2. What type of text includes the author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary as key elements?

• A. Fictional texts
• B. Persuasive texts
• C. Narratives
• D. Informational texts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The key elements mentioned (author's purpose, major ideas, etc.) are typically associated with informational texts. Informational texts aim to inform and educate the reader, making use of these elements to convey factual information. Fictional texts focus more on storytelling, character development, and plot, while persuasive texts aim to convince or persuade the audience. Narratives are stories that can be fictional or non-fictional, emphasizing a sequence of events rather than the specific elements mentioned in the question.

3. How does Wilde portray the institution of marriage in The Importance of Being Earnest?

• A. As a romantic union between two individuals.
• B. As a social contract designed for economic and social gain.
• C. As a trivial and superficial agreement.
• D. As a necessary evil in a structured society.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In The Importance of Being Earnest, Wilde portrays marriage as a social contract rather than a romantic union. The play satirizes the transactional nature of marriage in the society Wilde critiques. Characters like Lady Bracknell's interrogation of Jack highlight how marriage is viewed as a means for economic and social gain rather than genuine affection, emphasizing the societal norms of the time. Choice A is incorrect because Wilde's portrayal goes beyond a simple romantic view of marriage. Choice C is incorrect as it oversimplifies Wilde's critique of marriage and societal norms. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't capture the nuanced satire Wilde employs in dissecting the institution of marriage.

4. How much will Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $9
• B. $6
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Raoul estimates that he will need to use the library computer for approximately an hour and a half. Since each 15-minute period beyond the initial 30 minutes incurs a $3 charge, for a total of three additional 15-minute periods, Raoul will need to pay $9 ($3 x 3 = $9). Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $9 for his computer use at the library. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the information provided in the extract.

5. Using the guide words degressive and delectation at the top of a dictionary page, which of the following words is most likely to appear on the following page of the dictionary?

• A. deleterious
• B. dehydrate
• C. delay
• D. deity

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The guide words degressive and delectation are given, suggesting that the word on the next page would start with 'dei.' In alphabetical order, 'deity' comes after 'delectation' and 'degressive,' making it the most likely word to appear on the following page of the dictionary. Choices A, B, and C do not follow the alphabetical progression based on the guide words provided.
