1. Based on the passages, what can we infer about the relationship between assault and lethal force?

• A. An act of lethal force always results from a type of assault.
• B. An assault will lead to the use of lethal force by someone.
• C. An assault with deadly intent can lead to an individual using lethal force to preserve their well-being.
• D. If someone uses self-defense in a conflict, it is considered deadly force; if actions or threats are intended, it is classified as assault.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: From the passages provided, it can be inferred that an assault with deadly intent can lead to an individual using lethal force to defend themselves and preserve their well-being. This suggests a relationship between assault with deadly intent and the potential use of lethal force in self-defense situations. Choice A is incorrect because lethal force is not always a direct result of assault, as it depends on the circumstances. Choice B is incorrect as not all assaults lead to the use of lethal force by someone. Choice D is incorrect as the definition of deadly force and assault are distinct, with deadly force typically being used in self-defense situations where there is an immediate threat of severe harm or death.

2. How does the author distinguish between different groups of insects mentioned in the passage?

• A. By describing the specific characteristics and adaptations of each insect group.
• B. By grouping them based on their habitat into aquatic and aerial categories.
• C. By explaining the stages of development each insect undergoes.
• D. By identifying their habitats and the environments they are adapted to.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The author distinguishes between different groups of insects based on their habitat, categorizing them into aquatic and aerial categories. The passage mentions how some insects spend time under water while others live in the air, emphasizing the distinction between aquatic and aerial habitats. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the passage does not focus on describing the specific characteristics, adaptations, stages of development, or environments of the insects, but rather on their habitat and lifestyle.

3. What prompted Hedy Lamarr to take up inventing?

• A. Boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines
• B. Formal training in engineering
• C. Her successful inventions like the radio signal technology
• D. Working with Howard Hughes' aviation team

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hedy Lamarr took up inventing due to boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines. The extract mentions that to relieve her boredom, Lamarr turned to inventing after her film roles did not provide much dialogue.

4. Which of the following would be an effective primary source to support Vivian Harris' argument?

• A. A study showing that fewer students are bullied at schools that require uniforms
• B. An article describing the negative effects of uniforms in American schools
• C. An interview with a local principal who regrets implementing uniform requirements
• D. A persuasive essay written by Vivian that includes statistics and quotes from psychological studies and other students that support her position

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. A persuasive essay written by Vivian directly supports her argument with relevant statistics and quotes, aligning with her stance against uniforms. Choices A, B, and C do not provide direct support for Vivian's argument. Choice A discusses the positive aspect of uniforms in reducing bullying, which contradicts Vivian's viewpoint. Choice B describes negative effects of uniforms, but it does not directly support Vivian's argument against uniforms. Choice C, an interview with a principal regretting uniform requirements, does not offer direct backing for Vivian's stance either.

5. What best describes Samuel's sample size?

• A. The sample is biased because it has firsthand experience.
• B. The sample contains too few members to draw meaningful conclusions.
• C. The sample contains too many members to make specific claims.
• D. The sample is unbiased and of appropriate size.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Samuel's sample size of 24 students is too small to draw generalizable conclusions about a larger population. While his observations are based on firsthand experience, the sample size is inadequate to make meaningful claims about the relationship between parental involvement and academic success for all students. Choice A is incorrect because bias is not related to sample size but rather the way data is collected. Choice C is incorrect as having too many members would not hinder understanding specifics, but rather provide a more comprehensive view. Choice D is incorrect as the sample size is too small to be considered appropriately sized for making broad claims.
