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. 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.

3. Which of the following words, as used in the timeline, indicates the chronology of events in Barton's life?

• A. Front
• B. First
• C. After
• D. Through

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'After' is used to indicate that one event happened following another in time. In the context of a timeline, 'After' signifies the sequence of events, showing what occurred subsequent to a particular point in time. In the provided extract, events unfold in a specific order, with each event happening 'after' the previous one. Choices A, B, and D do not inherently convey the idea of chronological order and are not suitable for indicating the sequence of events in a timeline.

4. What is the purpose of the italics used for several of the works identified in the sentence above?

• A. to indicate a full-length published book
• B. to indicate a work of classic literature
• C. to indicate recommended summer reading
• D. to indicate books that Angela completed

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The purpose of the italics used for several of the works identified in the sentence above is to indicate a full-length published book. In the provided extract, titles of books such as 'The Great Gatsby,' 'Brave New World,' 'A Passage to India,' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' are italicized to emphasize them as standalone works. This formatting convention is commonly used to highlight titles of books, magazines, movies, and other individual works in written text. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as the italics are not specifically indicating classic literature, recommended summer reading, or completion by Angela, but rather serving the general purpose of emphasizing standalone works.

• A. They are offering lifetime warranties on new cars.
• B. The sale will only last one day.
• C. They have the lowest prices in town.
• D. They are offering no money down and low monthly payments.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author does not mention that Carl's Car Depot is offering lifetime warranties on new cars as a reason to visit. The mentioned reasons include the one-day sale, lowest prices in town, and the offering of no money down and low monthly payments. The extract clearly states that the focus is on the one-day sale, low monthly payments, and the lowest prices available, but there is no mention of lifetime warranties as a reason to visit.
