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. During her research, Lise discovers that Freud's theory of the Oedipal complex was based on ancient Greek mythology that was made famous by Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex. To which section of the library should she go if she is interested in reading the play?

• A. 300
• B. 400
• C. 800
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 800. Greek mythology and literature are typically found in section 800 of the library classification system, which includes works like Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. Choice A (300) pertains to social sciences, choice B (400) covers languages, and choice D (900) focuses on history, geography, and biography, making them incorrect for finding a play like Oedipus Rex.

3. Which of the following is NOT a way that theme is conveyed in nonfiction text?

• A. Through events
• B. Through word choice
• C. Through imagery
• D. Through meter

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Meter is a poetic device used in poetry to establish rhythm and rhyme, which is not typically found in nonfiction texts. In nonfiction, theme is often conveyed through events, word choice, and imagery. Events help illustrate the main ideas and messages, word choice influences the tone and mood of the text, and imagery enhances the descriptive elements. Therefore, meter, being more closely related to poetry, is not a common way to convey theme in nonfiction.

4. Which of the following sources is most likely to provide relevant data on the effects of mobile use on consumers' hearing?

• A. A consumer report about surcharges applied to customers' bills by mobile phone companies
• B. A professional journal article about the incidence of generic hearing loss
• C. A university research paper about decibel limits of headphones and speakers
• D. A statistical report of mobile phone usage by a mobile phone company

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most relevant source for data on the effects of mobile use on consumers' hearing would be a university research paper about decibel limits of headphones and speakers. This source would provide specific information on how mobile use could potentially impact hearing due to the sound levels produced by headphones and speakers. Choice A discusses surcharges on bills, which is unrelated to hearing effects. Choice B focuses on the incidence of hearing loss in general, not specifically related to mobile use. Choice D, a statistical report on mobile phone usage, may not directly address the impact on consumers' hearing.

5. What does the following sentence most nearly mean? The preparatory instars of such insects are aquatic; the adult instar is aerial.

• A. The volume of water is necessary to prepare the insect for transition rather than the volume of the air.
• B. The abdomen of the insect is shaped like a star in the water as well as in the air.
• C. The stage of preparation in between molting occurs in the water, while the final stage is in the air.
• D. These insects first breathe in the water through gills, but then use the same organs to breathe in the air.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence is describing the life cycle of certain insects where their preparatory instars occur in the water, while the adult instar lives in the air. This means that the stage of preparation between molting or shedding of the exoskeleton happens in the water, but the final stage as adults is in the air. Choice A is incorrect as it misinterprets the meaning of the aquatic and aerial environments for the insect's life stages. Choice B is incorrect as it introduces a concept of the insect's abdomen being shaped like a star, which is not mentioned or relevant to the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces information about the insects' breathing organs, which is not directly related to the sentence's meaning about their life stages.
