1. At the top of an encyclopedia's page are the following two guide terms: kingcraft and klieg light. Which one of the following words will be found on this page?

• A. Kleptomania
• B. Knead
• C. Kinesthesia
• D. Kickback

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Kinesthesia.' When arranging words alphabetically, 'Kinesthesia' would come between 'kingcraft' and 'klieg light.' Choice A, 'Kleptomania,' starts with a 'K' but comes after 'Kinesthesia.' Choices B and D, 'Knead' and 'Kickback,' do not fit alphabetically between the guide terms provided at the top of the page.

2. What conclusion can be drawn from Hedy Lamar's acting career based on the extract?

• A. Hedy Lamarr was the first European actress of the 1990s
• B. Hedy Lamarr sought more speaking roles in her acting career
• C. Hedy Lamarr was content with her contribution to the film industry
• D. Hedy Lamarr worked in American films with various directors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The extract provided does not mention Hedy Lamarr or her acting career. Therefore, we cannot draw any conclusions about her from this text. Choice B is the correct answer as it remains the most plausible conclusion based on general knowledge about Hedy Lamarr's career. The other choices are incorrect as there is no information in the extract to support them. Choice A is inaccurate as it refers to the 1990s, which is not the era when Hedy Lamarr was active. Choice C is not supported by the extract, and choice D is too vague and lacks specificity.

3. According to the extract, which of the following statements most closely correlates with the definition of the term 'working man'?

• A. A working man is someone who is well versed in the workings of the soul.
• B. A working man is probably not involved in social activities due to the high physical demand of work.
• C. A working man is someone who earns wages in a traditional sense, often associated with the middle class.
• D. The working man historically transitions from the field to the factory and now to the screen.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to the extract, the term 'working man' refers to individuals who are actively employed and earn wages in a traditional sense. Charles Dickens emphasizes the importance of the working man having a share in the management of institutions designed for their benefit. This aligns with choice C, making it the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as the extract does not mention anything about being well versed in the workings of the soul. Choice B is incorrect because the extract does not suggest that working men are not involved in social activities due to the physical demands of their work. Choice D is also incorrect as the extract does not focus on the historical transitions of the working man.

4. How many people can participate in a volleyball game?

• A. 14
• B. 15
• C. half of a class
• D. an entire class

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the extract provided, a volleyball game can involve an entire class participating. The passage mentions that with just one net and one ball, an entire class can play volleyball. While the number of participants in a volleyball game can vary, the specific reference to a whole class in the passage indicates that a significant number of people can take part. Therefore, the correct answer is 'an entire class.' Choice A, '14,' is incorrect because the passage explicitly mentions that an entire class can participate, which typically involves more than 14 individuals. Choice B, '15,' is incorrect as it does not account for the flexibility of the number of participants in a volleyball game as stated in the passage. Choice C, 'half of a class,' is incorrect as the passage clearly states that an entire class can participate, not just half.

5. How did Araminta Ross come to be known as Harriet Tubman?

• A. She changed her name to her husband's last name and her first name to her mother's name.
• B. She was named after the plantation owner's wife.
• C. She changed her name because she was wanted as an Underground Railroad runner.
• D. She changed her name to remain anonymous as a Civil War spy.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Araminta Ross came to be known as Harriet Tubman after marrying a free black man named John Tubman. She took her husband's last name 'Tubman' and changed her first name to 'Harriet,' which was her mother's name. This change of name was a personal choice after her marriage and not because she was named after the plantation owner's wife (B), wanted as an Underground Railroad runner (C), or to remain anonymous as a Civil War spy (D). Therefore, the correct answer is A.
