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. Based on the information in the passage, which of the composers among The Five would the author likely agree was the most influential?

• A. Alexander Glazunov
• B. Modest Mussorgsky
• C. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
• D. Cesar Cui

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The passage highlights Rimsky-Korsakov's significant influence by mentioning that composers such as Alexander Glazunov, Sergei Prokofiev, and Igor Stravinsky studied under him. This demonstrates that Rimsky-Korsakov had a lasting impact on the development of these renowned composers. Choice A, Alexander Glazunov, is incorrect because the passage states that Glazunov studied under Rimsky-Korsakov, indicating he was influenced by him rather than being the most influential among The Five. Choice B, Modest Mussorgsky, is incorrect as the passage mainly focuses on his works and contributions but does not mention his influence on other composers. Choice D, Cesar Cui, is incorrect as he is considered one of the founders of the movement but is not highlighted for influencing other significant composers as Rimsky-Korsakov is. Therefore, based on the information provided, the author would likely agree that Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was the most influential among The Five.

3. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the passage?

• A. Julia will find a job closer to her home.
• B. Julia will lose her job.
• C. Julia will feel guilty and return to work.
• D. Julia will drive home and go to sleep.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the passage provided, there is no indication that Julia will find a job closer to her home, lose her job, or feel guilty and return to work. The passage simply states that Julia is tired and ready to go home, indicating that she will likely drive home and go to sleep. Throughout the passage, Julia faces a series of frustrating events that culminate in her decision to leave work and head home. There is no mention of job hunting, job loss, or feelings of guilt, making these options unsupported by the text.

4. Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes was fascinated by the story of the Trojan War and attempted to determine the exact dates when this event occurred. Unfamiliar with the story of the fall of Troy, Jorgen decides to look into writings such as The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to locate these works?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Section 800 features works of literature, making it the best place for Jorgen to find The Iliad and The Odyssey. While the philosophy and psychology section (100) might contain references to these works, Jorgen would still have to go to the literature section to obtain the works themselves, as they are literary works. Similarly, the religion section (200) and the arts and recreation section (700) are not where these specific literary works would be located.

5. What does the 'nature of the fairy tale genre' refer to in Passage 2?

• A. The representation of basic human experience
• B. Good characters being pure good and bad characters being pure evil
• C. Different cultures coming up with similar versions of the same story
• D. Commoners becoming royalty

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The 'nature of the fairy tale genre' in Passage 2 refers to how fairy tales capture basic, fundamental human desires and fears, representing the most essential form of fictionalized human experience. This includes the portrayal of characters as purely good or purely evil, the celebration of themes such as romance and commoners becoming royalty, which all contribute to portraying basic human experiences in a symbolic and imaginative manner. The other choices are incorrect because while they may be elements present in fairy tales, they do not encompass the overarching concept of capturing basic human experiences as referred to in Passage 2.
