1. Based on the information provided within the passage, which of the following can be inferred about King James II's son?

• A. Considering his resemblance to King James II, the young James was likely the legitimate child of the king and the queen.
• B. Given the queen's previous inability to produce a healthy child, there were suspicions about the prince's legitimacy by the English and the Lowland Scots.
• C. James 'the Pretender' was not as popular among the Highland clans as his son Bonnie Prince Charlie.
• D. James was unable to acquire the resources needed to build the army and plan the invasion that his son succeeded in doing.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage describes that the young James bore a strong resemblance to King James II, suggesting that he was likely the legitimate child of the king and the queen. This resemblance supports the inference that the young James was indeed their offspring. Choice B is incorrect because although there were suspicions about the prince's legitimacy, the passage does not mention these suspicions being based on the queen's previous inability to produce a healthy child. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not compare the popularity of James 'the Pretender' among the Highland clans to his son Bonnie Prince Charlie. Choice D is also incorrect as the passage does not mention James's inability to acquire resources for building an army or planning an invasion.

2. Which organizational style is used in the following passage? 'There are several reasons why the new student café has not been as successful as expected. One factor is that prices are higher than originally advertised, so many students cannot afford to buy food and beverages there.'

• A. Cause and effect order
• B. Compare and contrast order
• C. Spatial order
• D. Time order

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct organizational style used in the passage is cause and effect order. It explains the reasons (causes) why the new student café has not been successful, specifically mentioning that the higher prices lead to students being unable to afford food and beverages (effect). The passage clearly establishes a relationship between a situation (high prices) and its consequences (students not able to buy), making it a classic example of cause and effect. Choice B (Compare and contrast order) is incorrect as the passage does not present a comparison or a contrast between two or more items or situations. Choice C (Spatial order) is incorrect as it refers to organizing information based on physical location or direction, which is not applicable in this context. Choice D (Time order) is also incorrect as it involves organizing information based on a sequence of events over time, which is not the primary focus of the passage.

3. To which chapter should Regina turn if she needs to find out what to do if the car begins overheating?

• A. III
• B. IV
• C. VI
• D. I

Correct answer: C

Rationale: An overheating vehicle is considered an emergency situation, so Regina should refer to Chapter VI, which covers emergencies in the car owner's manual. Chapter III focuses on Audio, Climate, and Voice Controls, which is not relevant to an overheating car. Chapter IV discusses Pre-Driving and Driving, which does not address overheating. Chapter I pertains to Vehicle Instruments and is not the appropriate chapter for handling an overheating car.

4. In which of the following battles were there more Confederate casualties than Union casualties?

• A. Cold Harbor
• B. Chancellorsville
• C. Atlanta
• D. Shiloh

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Shiloh had more Confederate casualties than Union casualties. In the Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862, the Confederates suffered around 10,700 casualties, while the Union forces had approximately 13,000 casualties. Therefore, Shiloh is the correct answer. Choice A, Cold Harbor, is incorrect because in that battle, the Confederate casualties were fewer than the Union casualties. Choices B and C, Chancellorsville and Atlanta respectively, also had more Union casualties than Confederate casualties, making them incorrect answers.

5. Why is The Importance of Being Earnest considered one of Wilde's most enduring works?

• A. Because it offers a deep and serious critique of society.
• B. Because it humorously exposes the flaws of the upper class.
• C. Because it captures the essence of Wilde's witty and satirical style.
• D. Because it reflects Wilde's deep personal struggles with society.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The play endures because it perfectly captures Wilde's witty and satirical style, making it a timeless critique of society. 'The Importance of Being Earnest' humorously exposes the flaws of the upper class, rather than offering a deep and serious critique of society (Choice A). While Wilde's personal struggles may have influenced his works, 'The Importance of Being Earnest' is more focused on societal critiques through wit and satire, rather than reflecting his personal struggles (Choice D). Although the play does humorously expose the flaws of the upper class, the main reason for its enduring popularity is its embodiment of Wilde's witty and satirical style (Choice B). Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer.
